Default Roush 427 ...advice

Well I have been away from the forums for a little while...

I love my 03 GT and have put a LOT of work / money / love into it. There is nothing wrong with it at all...but the deals one can get on a used Mustang are crazy these days...

I found a used 2009 Roush 427 Supercharged stang for a decent price the other day, and while it is silver (not my favorite color) I am starting to get crazy ideas....lol


My question is, anyone with this car have any input?? Does it even make any sense buying a new Mustang that ISNT the new 5.0 at this point?? Those new 2011-12 stangs are beautiful, but still new and expensive....

no idea how to post pictures, lol its been a while

I would prefer a red mustang again, but the silver and black does not look bad by any means. And the car is a BEAST at 435hp

Go to fnsweet.com. Tons of guys with 427R's there. They can answer all your ROUSH questions.

Actually those are closer to 450 HP at the crank stock. You will want to drive. Nothing drives like a Roush !!!!

I don't have a roush but I have that blower m90 on my car and it's crazy fun. It completely transformed the car and how I drive it. How much is it? Roushs are beautiful cars and silver rocks!

depends on the price.

slap a KB on your 03 GT, and it will be a beast too.

The car is under $ 29k and has less than 15k miles on it and is in perfect condition. My GT right now is my daily driver however, and I am also a little skeptical at making a Roush 427R a daily driver with winter about to begin

what if you keep your 03 as a DD
and the Roush can be the weekend warrior

you can join the 2-Stang Crew.
