68fastback Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Kinda nice, I think and probably respectable HP/weight ratio and good road performance. I just wonder how much will be the asking price since you could do all the performance mods for maybe $8K in parts and $2K in labor on your own GT, but still a nice ride if you can deopt the stripes <yikes!> <edit:> Ooops! Here's the link . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the link . My guess is nearly 60K as that is what the Stage 3 Roush is going for, more or less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want something directly from Ford (GT500/Boss/etc) but I can see the attraction of the Roush... and they couldn't resist getting the 427 num in there <lol> I mean, we have this 427roush, everyone is doing 427CID 351-hi-deck stroker vrate-motors (including FRP), Ford stroked the V10 to 427CID for the 2004 427 concept, Shelby is making REAL racing 427 side-oilers out of the Gardenia CA shop. Now all we need is a real 427 in something ... and I'm holding my breath and hiding in the corner until I get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Dan - you KNOW what I'm thinking, don't you? "Baby, it just ain't my style - but you are." Excuse me, would you terribly mind passing the Bling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68fastback Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Dan - you KNOW what I'm thinking, don't you? "Baby, it just ain't my style - but you are." Excuse me, would you terribly mind passing the Bling? exactly... and hold your pinky up when you say that, sir ..and was that a proposal? I gotta wonder who's buying the bling-mobiles? They don't seem seductive to very many folks in here, so I'm figuring there are a lot of younger car-guys (and gals) liking that stuff. Hell, even for my '68 I went out of my way to opt it as low-key. The Roush is sedate compared to some, but still too 'gen-x' for me. I guess Ford will do the 'classy' stuff, Shelby the 'quick-response' mods, and the aftermarket the niche-bling -- as long as everyone's happy!

RUFDRAFT Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hell - whatever sells. If someone likes the bodywork and graphics, go for it. Just not my taste. Less is more - except in the engine room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
