Remember, these S3 Roush Stangs are expensive. Buying a stock 2012, and doing the performance mods yourself will cost you less than 10k, and gives you a lot of satisfaction. I'm not even going to mention the poor resale value......

Those are some beautiful cars, but like stated above they are a lot of $$$$$. If you do not care about the originality, you could build your own for significantly less. However, the only bad thing about building your own is that there goes the factory warranty. So it's a balance....

540 BHP is nuts! That has to lay down some serious power to the road.
I saw in another thread started by Justin of VMP, he and his wife put in a Roush TVS supercharger and with only 8PSI boost manifold, they were throwing down just a tad over 500 HP yet still kicking around in the 10's at the drag strip!
They have since then pullied for 11PSI boost manifold, I wonder if that set-up is just like this RS3 set-up?

Roush already built a 540HP car in 2010. It's called the 540RH only 50 cars were ever built with only 45 sold since 5 of them were Prototype/test Vehicles. My freind own's number 5 and we put it on the dyno last weekend and it put out 508RWHP on its Roush tune. Now that's on a 2010 GT 4.6L motor with forged internals. It also had a 60K sticker price........
