Aftermarket parts and tuning specialists can take already powerful cars and wring out even more performance from them. The right combination of hardware and software can infuse ho-hum sports cars with supercar levels of horsepower. Two such examples face off in a new Carwow video, which pits a tuned Ford Mustang against a modified BMW M3.
The Mustang uses Ford’s 5.0-liter V8 engine, but it also features a new supercharger that increases the output to 859 horsepower and 665 pound-feet (902 Newton-meters) of torque. A six-speed manual sits between the engine and rear tires, with the coupe tipping the scales at a portly 3,791 pounds (1,720 kilograms). It’s heavier than the BMW sedan, which weighs 3,516 lbs (1,595 kg).
