As we all know, by far the hardest part of getting a JDM Stage 1 Saleen Series VI supercharger kit is convincing your wife that the purchase of said Chevrolet destroyer is a good idea (read: somehow benefits her).
I think we've all tried the first two arguments:
1. A more powerful car makes me have a more positive self image, which directly improves how I treat you and how I view our relationship.
2. Having a complicated but relatively straightforward and manageable project with the car is an excellent bonding time for myself and offspring.
And failed miserably with that reasoning. Perhaps it elicited a sarcastic chuckle or two from the boss.
Well, we have to approach the problem from a new angle of attack, by showing the wife how JDM's Stage 1 kit directly meets her deepest desires - no, it won't make you last 30 minutes in bed - and no, when you hit boost diamonds will not magically fly out of the HVAC vents and into her lap. So we'll try for her third weakness: greenbacks.
For sake of argument let's make a few assumptions:
1. You are an extremely responsible driver.
2. You have a basic set of hand tools and one free weekend.
3. Your 2005 Mustang GT is completely bone stock.
4. 93 octane fuel holds at its current Freehold, NJ price of $4.07/gallon.
Being a responsible driver, you usually get about 20mpg mixed city and highway driving. Also being a responsible driver, you ALWAYS fill up your tank at 1/4 full (12.0 gallons refill). Your average refill is every 240 miles.
The initial cost of the supercharger kit is $5895.00 plus $105 shipping ($6000, don't you love the round numbers?). And like all JDM customers, the installation goes silky smooth without issue and you're out burning rubber before long. Despite the tune, you get 15mpg on your first tank due to your increased WOT occurrence.
After the first fill up, you get back to your regular routine and notice, like many, on your JDM tune you're actually getting BETTER fuel economy than before when you don't drive like a leadfoot, and you're soon enjoying your 430whp and 22mpg.
Your drive to/work and for enjoyment every week is exactly 480 miles, so you fill up EXACTLY twice every week. So your fuel cost used to be $97.68 per week. Well on that first tank you cost yourself money, it took 32 gallons to go your normal distance ($130.24). So with the cost of the supercharger, your wife sees a total loss of $6032.56.
With the added fuel economy from the JDM tune, you're achieving your total weekly needed distance with only 21.82 gallons, saving you $8.88 per week. Your investment will pay itself back in just a little over 13 years, 1 month, 2 weeks, 3 days, and four hours. As the price of gas rises, your payback timeframe goes down even more quickly.
There you have it gentlemen, not only can your Saleen supercharged, JDM tuned Mustang help free the world of mullet-armed Chevrolet owners, it practically plants trees in its wake it is so environmentally friendly and generates cash just by driving it. If that won't convince the wife, nothing will. Say no to the stock market, IRAs and real estate investment, and say hello to long term financial gain through Saleen supercharging.
So there are no more excuses for you. You live too far away? Our parts are straightforward enough and have such clear instructions and you can call us so quickly with issues that a partially mentally retarded chimpanzee could accomplish the install in a weekend. We offer 48 continental US door to door enclosed trailer transport. Now we've even provided you ammunition against the enemy...err...spouse.
No more excuses. Better be calling by Friday or you mind as well turn in your manlihood cards. Tight on cash? We're all sponsored by VISA...
