Thanks for the great pictures!! I like it all except the spoiler [:'(]. The rest is beautiful!! Little worried about the surface rust on the hood pin, though

The reason for the 427 badging is that its based off the 427R that has 427 hp...

ORIGINAL: 2007GT/CS

Nice looking car but it should be illegal to call something a 427 that really isn't. If a member here put '427' on his car -- just imagine....

Marketing guys sometimes make me very sad .

That being said - I *really* like the Roush 'Blackjack' edition. Teh sweetness.

+1 on the blackjack edition... I think the thing that bothers me the most (after the wing) is something very small but in my mind it shows a complete lack of attention to detail. When you buy a car, especially something like a roush, you want it to be well designed and thought out in every aspect from performance to appearance. It just kills me that the calipers don’t match, im almost 100% positive those are stock calipers. If you are going to call something a TrakPak and imply that it is race track ready then why not upgrade all the brakes, and i understand that the majority of braking force comes from the front but still. I guess at the very least they should be painted to match, is that to much to ask? I can see they don’t match right off the bat and it makes me think, ok they skimped there.. what else did they skimp on that i cant see???

Don’t get me wrong people i like roush mustangs,ilike the TrakPak concept, but if they are only going to make 100 of these cars that’s only 200 calipers to paint just to make it look right. Time to go wash my hands six more times from the OCD

As long as the wing is functional I don't mind.

Functional?? What the...[&:]

You need to be above 120mph for a rear spoiler/wing to be really efficient[8D].
Anyway, I'd love to go test drive that thing and take the salesman at about 140mph. I would have grounds right? I'm breaking in the rear wing!

Im with ya. The wing is most likely there to scare people than to actually work. (I love it!) Although, when it comes to indy cars, their ground effects (front and rear wings) start taking affect at just 40 mph. Maybe theres a slim possiblity that this wing can be more useful than just drying socks.

the wing is functional....probably good at 80 or 100 mph even if it only provides 30lbs of downforce its better than nothing.....however it is kind of ugly i only like it on the black one, but since its put on there from the roush factory i dont have a problem with it.....

Im wondering which rear louvers their using for some of those 427's, i really love the roush side louvers, but i wanna do rear and side louvers, and so far i havent found a rear louver to match the roush side louver, and i didnt think roush was making any rear louvers......can anyone help me out and tell me where to find that rear louver? Rom8bsz, any chance you could get me some type of phone number to call that place?

any tickets incurred while on a test drive are the dealer's responibility, not the test driver's. Pretty cool huh?
