How Math Can Be Good, Bad & Confusing

Dealer selling 727-hp Ford Mustang for $40K 

There are some caveats, of course.

Lebanon's formula for this high-performance Stang is absurdly simple – take a base, 5.0-liter GT, which retails for $32,395. Add Roush's $7,549.99 Phase 2 supercharger kit and its 2.3-liter TVS blower. Charge just $39,995. According to Roush's own website, installing the Phase 2 kit takes 12 hours, which the dealership is eating. That's what really makes this a bargain. There are some caveats here, of course.

What customers get for $40,000 is a base Mustang with a supercharger – this isn't one of Roush's Stage 1, 2, or 3 creations. There's no upgraded body kit, bigger wheels, more powerful brakes, or stiffer suspension. But Lebanon doesn't sound like it's planning on selling a lot of sleeper-spec Mustangs. Watson told The Drive many of the dealership's Roush products are selling for $45,000 to $50,000, and even a few $60,000 models have rolled off the dealer's lot, after customers dig deeper into the Roush parts catalog.
