So let's say you're an owner of a Dodge Challenger Demon 170.

Exomod is no stranger to stretching vintage (looking) carbon fiber Dodge bodywork over modern Challenger Hellcat foundations. Its current catalog spans three variations, including a mean-looking Daytona, but the company recently announced a new car with a Hennessey-supercharged V8 under the hood.
America’s favorite car colors skew toward the boring, with white, gray, and black holding the top three spots. That can be a real bummer if you’re shopping for a used car and want something spicier, but the good news is that you can easily get more color in your life with a vinyl wrap.

After watching heaps of tuners, as well as dealers like Beechmont Ford Performance, supercharge their profits by supercharging Coyote engines, the factory is increasingly getting in on the deals. Last summer, Ford Performance created the FP700 package for the F-150 for dealer showrooms, bolting a 3.0-liter Whipple Supercharger to the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 to create a pickup with 700 horsepower and 599 pound-feet of torque along with a host of visual upgrades. Now, after unveiling an even more potent supercharger package at SEMA last year for the new Mustang GT and Dark Horse, the performance outpost is ready for retail sales. The sweetener is called the 2024 Mustang GT and Dark Horse Supercharger Kit, and it bestows 800 hp on a GT or Dark Horse without active exhaust, or an even sweeter 810 hp with the active exhaust. Torque climbs to 615 pound-feet, fancy pipes or no, making this compatible with the six-speed manual or the ten-speed automatic.
