RE: Roush Mustang, really is it all that and a bag of chips?
I own a Roush sport and have the same exact opinions as 'dis guy[sm=icon_rock.gif]...except I can't run 11s....but with my mods I can stop real well!

Okay, have to put my $0.02 in! I think the Roush body kits are the ONLY good looking body kit. I think all the other body kits (Saleen included) take away from the retro styling the car is meant to have. I think Roush did a good job of keeping an early fastback look. I 100% agree about the hood scoop and I don't have one. I also agree with the damn Roush everywhere emblems and took most of mine off. My car IS NOT a Roush but everyone thinks it is because of the body kit. Roush should be paying me something for all the cars mine must sell for them...LOL
I wanted to build a unique car and tried to use what I thought was the best pieces to do it. I love the Roush body kit and interior seat package and that's what I have on my car. Everything else is a completely different animal. But I certainly don't look down on any GT owners and think those who do are idiots. I LOVE the fact people think my car is a Roush, cuz it's funny to see the look on their face (especially another roush) when they see my car run. (11.60's BTW) and in 4 weeks, it will be a 10 sec. street car.
The moral of the story is as fast as my car is, there is an old 5.0 beat-to-shXt looking at our shop that smokes my car...(9.90's) and a neon that smokes me too. So I think most people that think there car is better than anyone else's just because of a name on it probably never races it and just cruises around feeling froggy with themselves.
Just my $0.02

RE: Roush Mustang, really is it all that and a bag of chips?
I own an 04 Roush stage 2 which now has the Kenne Bell supercharger on top. I was real close to buying an 05 this past spring while at the dealership. The 05 just looked to bulky to me. I happened to see the 04 sitting at the end of the row of cars and had to check it out. Once I saw this car I knew there wasn't any comparison. As far as comparing to the Saleen, I love both cars. As with most of us, I like pretty much any car as long as they aren't covered with stickers, have rediculously huge wings and fart cans that you can stick your are up in to adjust the valves.

RE: Roush Mustang, really is it all that and a bag of chips?
First I have to say that I love my Roush...Yeah it was a few K more than the GT that I had ordered. But it is definitely a head turner and isn't that what we all really want in the end? I love the styling of it and it is nice to have a Mustang that you don't see every day driving down the road. I have yet to see another 05+ Roush here in Phoenix. That being said, if I hadn't been in my accident and totalled my old car, I wouldn't have gotten the Roush mainly because of price, I had a blue 06 GT that I had ordered a week before. But I found myself needing an new car and the Roush was the ONLY 05 GT 5spd coupe that was available in the state of Arizona....So I went for it and haven't regretted it since. If you want to judge a group because you met ONE stuck-up guy then by all means we are all a$$holes....How many people haven't met the d!ckhead a$$hole Mustang owner??? So, if you don't like the Roushes then that is cool, not everyone is going to like everything you do to your car...so it is all good. But it should be recognized that we are all Mustang Enthusiasts!!! end of story...so what good does it do to beat down a styling concept of on group of Mustang owners...I'm sure we could all have a lot more fun trash talking the Camero and Hemi guys......
Just a few thoughts and more than my $.02

Where I live there is a guy with a yellow Roush and we have crusied next to each other a couple times on the local roads. It looks great, but I'll see if my new hood and grille gets him to turn his head...

I was hoping that Roush would keep the side exhaust in their 05 design. But since they didn't, I put a Cervini's kit on my wife's 05. I love side exhaust.
