mikewheels Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I couldn't seem to ever come up with the money to SC my car the way it should be done correctly and I couldn't find a GT500 to buy that I wanted locally so when Tasca got in this 2010 Roush 540RH last week I traded in my 'vert for it. It's got the drivetrain a SGT should have come with imho. Not a Shelby but I'm more than happy with it. #33 of 58 built, one of 6 in blue. Runs 11.8@ 122 out of the box. Anybody looking for a 'vert go check out mine at Tasca. They can mod it for you and and off you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Rodgers Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Very nice, I think Roush did a much better job on the 2010+ stangs, prior to that they had to many spoilers and plastic parts IMO. Good luck with her!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWEDEMAN Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I also thought about this too, however I decided to get my SC Package from SA. The SGT/SC is too nice of a car all around to give up, period. The SGT/SC is world renowned as a winner with very limited production for the SGT/SC. Here is why I did it: 1) Under $15K for the SC package and other mods. 2) If I bought the Laguna Seca BOSS or high end Rousch or SMS or anything like that, here is what I figured; after my trade-in equity and an extra $5-8K down I was still financing around $30-$35K including tax and license. Almost 10% tax alone here where I live!!! 3) Finally I did not get the feeling I got when I first looked at the SGT on either the Rousch or Laguna Seca BOSS, nothing emotional. 4) Rousch, SMS Mustang and LC BOSS are all extremely awesome cars. Good Luck! Swede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBRA SCOTTY Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Congrats on a nice new Roush. My friend is an engineer there and he desigend the bigger style coolant tank that VMP and others are selling. I believe your cars comes with the bigger stock tank ; does it not ? Anyway, I have always liked the Roush cars and being 1 of 6 is a nice stat also to have. Enjoy your new ride and more pictures please !!!

1965coupe Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 1999 called.. they want their rims back. I'm sorry.. car looks great, and I understand some of your reasoning, but those rims look like they're from an old V6 Mustang. Other than that, nice color!

nojoke4true Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Wow! Not sure why I felt like I got kicked it the nuts But to eaches own I guess. I would never trade my vert for a stang that is not (trying to be nice) as visually appealing . Good luck with your new car any hoo and make sure they find your ex vert a nice warm garage.

Spring Lil Cobra Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 very nice car. don't believe the 11.8 right out of the box...it'll take some traction modifications (slicks) to get that low. The Roush vehicles do hand light years better than the GT 500's...out of the box. Enjoy! SLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikewheels Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I liked the fact that they are all 18x10" and Roush branded. Can be rotated and hold a decent size tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordFan1 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I have nothing but praise for the 540RH- to bad you couldn't keep both- The suspension and tires work great together for a very comfortable ride while being track worthy. It was a blast to jump out of my SGT (w/Griggs & Track tires) then into the hammer to compare the suspensions and tire grip. Keep in mind the RH is under rated, most dyno out in the range of 506hp/508hp. Here is my Hammer expierance- MCA Track Day_ Pacific Raceway http://www.fnsweet.com/forums/road-course-racing-track-days-drag-meets/54627-mca-roush-road-crew-track-day_-pacific-raceway.html Enjoy the new ride, maybe Diane and I will catch up with you in Sturgis this coming September for the Roush Road Crew event. =-===-=-=-=-=-=-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT5687 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Very nice, I think Roush did a much better job on the 2010+ stangs, prior to that they had to many spoilers and plastic parts IMO. +1, I remember at last summer's Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup, The Roush Club of America or something like that, sponsored it and had bunch of their '10's there running in between classes for the auto-cross. When I saw them lining up I was like, big deal... those Roush's never impressed me... then they ran. EVERYONE'S heads turned when they realized how much better the '10 Roush's were. It was a pleasure to watch em run all day. I was very impressed. I still prefer the Shelby designs and Heritage, but those Roush's are something else! Very nice car man! I bet it rides a hell of a lot nicer than the SGT too, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I like the fact of the forged internals. $24,500 seems a lot, though. If you're happy, we're happy. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewnagle1964 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I almost did this (got a Roush) when my son totaled my black Shelby but Craig (SGT/SC2873 ) and Ken (KAHMANN) talked me down from the ledge and I am soooo glad they did !

tko211 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 There is very little that can fully compare to a Shelby when you consider an american icon and all the many facets of heritage that this brand represents. I would not trade my SGT for any Roush but that's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 That's the best looking Roush I've seen. I never liked their stripes. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalwrench Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 The 2010 is better looking than previous models, but please do something with the odd front bumper. The lower lip looks like the stock Ford item. Wonder why they didn't include the Roush front bumper?
