yeah i drive an 06 roush auto with no mods (yet) and yesterday i had my first race vs a ricer..(an 05 civic i think, with just a mod exaust) and completely destroyed him from a 70 mph start...what car would i have trouble with in the 35k and under range thats stock..and how much slower is my roush if it is an auto? thanks for everyones time! and heres a pic of it at the dealership..i tinted the windows since then..

 

what does the 06 roush come with stock? is it just the same motor as the gt only with a body kit? love your car btw!

 

yeah same thing as a gt..just has a body kit and the roush name..

 

Do you mean only 2006 models? My car was probably in the low $20k's (of course you would have to adjust for 4 years of inflation) and if your car is basically a GT than I could give you a good run. I raced an '05 GT and pulled on him a bit at the top end. I'm almost totally stock.

 

Depends on what stage roush it is.. the III's are in the 400-450BHP range... from what i hear...

 

LS1 trans am/camaro. those things are mean, and will give you one hell of a run for your money, we're talkin 325 hp stock underrated. also, the new LS2 GTO would probably pull you........since your auto, you probably wont be able to keep up with a stock LS1..........but nothing a few bolt on's cant fix

 

I hear the LS1's are takin the new Stangs... but just about a car... if you're stock (non stage 3) with an auto, you have no chance vs the 6liter GTO if the guy has the slighest idea how to drive...

 

yea LS2 is also under-rated at like 400hp/400ft-lbs torque i think? i heard they also put out quite a few more ponies than advertised. they also get near 30mpg on the highway!

 

So does my 05 GT...........of course, it's still stock at the moment. So I'll enjoy that while I can[&:]

 

the 5spd auto tranny is leaps and bounds faster than a bad driver with a stick, and between 1 and 2 tenths slower at the track than an average/above-average stick driver. from a roll i completely agree with you, but from the people i know with ls2 gtos or that know people with them that have been to the track, those cars are not very easy to launch...so it very well could be a decent race from a dig.

personally, ive never come across a new gto, either engine, that could keep up with me very well. then again, i dont hardly ever run into gto's, and i am most def not stock. an equally modded one should def walk me, at least i hope so.
