Newbie! Roush 427R 2010 Question
All, I am looking to buy a Mustang 2010 GT and was also considering the Roush 427. I am a bit confused though. It appears that a 427R and GT have very little difference in the quarter mile and 0-60 times? It sounds like I would be paying 15k for very little in performance gains? I know it has a much better suspension and style, but I thought that's what I would get from a stage I or II.
I am not a gear head so any help you guys could provide would be great.
Thanks All!

Top Gear didn't compare a true GT500 when they did the side by side. The GT 500 they got was pre production, and lacks a lot of what the cars the lots got had to offer.
That being said, I'd take the Roush over the Shelby any day. It's a very well rounded car. And MUCH faster than a stock GT in any kind of power demonstration.

Someone educate me... what is a "track pack equipped GT" ?
Personally, I'd look into more than just one review. Those numbers are off from others I've seen. If you wanna see what 2010 R owners are saying, do some reading on Fnsweet.com.

3.73's, GT500 rear swap bar, rear lower trailing links, front upper strut mounts, a front strut tower brace, different dampers and I believe stickier tires. Not positive on all that but pretty sure.
