Ford warranty on everything but the supercharger and Roush covers it for 3 years, 36K miles.
I know the rep on the Mustang being under tired but I don't drag race, road race, or street race, I just want something to feed my mid life crisis. If you aren't there you will be sooner than you think. I like to get on it now and again to remind me I'm still alive. Both cars can fulfill my desires. I wanted some honest, unprejudiced, mature thoughts if you were making this decision.
Thanks.

First off the HP number is crank they are giving, just for clarity. You get similar power with some of the blower setups for the LT1 and more TQ I believe. Second, read the Roush warranty very carefully. It's been awhile but I know the Ford Performance blowers cover a decent list of items, but the scope is narrow as to what is considered a "failure". I'm pretty sure Roush is the same way. So it's not exactly like a "factory" warranty. Just food for thought. Big power gains from FI are easy with the Coyote. Also your gonna need some serious traction upgrades to put that power to use on the Mustang. That Roush kit really doesn't do anything but power. You might even want to look at the Ford Performance kit which will probably be cheaper.
