Plus I'd trust Roush to do it right the first time. :ohsnap:

[Gr8snkbite]

Nice....only 150 units.....

[Birdman]

Nice looking car....except the side loovers. Again I prefer the new 5.0 coyote in it's natural asp form over the added SC

[68fastback]

...yeah, it's nice that qtr louvers are optional -- along with a bunch of other goodies.

+1 on NA Coyote preference too ...that's what that engine is all about ;-)

...not that Ford couldn't or shouldn't make a killer SC engine based on it in the future ...which I think is inevitable.

[68fastback]

Plus I'd trust Roush to do it right the first time. :ohsnap:

...for sure! ...and they'll still be here 5 years too :ohsnap:-lol

Very nice! (Love the BLK one) Roush Modified Vehicles are still welcome in :canada: whereas vehicles modified by SHELBY have now been disqualified. :judge: (Too many complaints to the FEDS)

Wow ...so you can't buy a Saleen or Shelby in :canada: now? Didn't know that.

Our DOT takes a very DIM view of the BOLLOCKS from companies like SALEEN (BK) and SHELBY (Post Title Nonsense).

[68fastback]

I can appreciate that.

Saleen was also caught a few years back filing false CARB certs ...drew a lot of attention from agencies that watch that stuff. The TVS inadvertantly cert got caught in that because CA shut down the whole CARB process for almost a year as a resilt ...while the TVS was in the CARB 'pipeline' ...Saleen definately did not make friends on that one. -lol.

Then you can forget the Roush 5XR nonsense as well.:boink:


One thing that makes this car different from previous ROUSH Mustangs is that the 2011 ROUSH 5XR Mustang will be sold only as a post-title vehicle. This means that the authorized ROUSH-Ford dealership must pre-sell the car to a customer or title the vehicle before the order can be placed in the ROUSH system. The 2011 ROUSH 5XR Mustang is not available for sale in California.

Got a link? I've never heard mention of that before.

Tob

Not sure what you mean? (re:roush) Saleen had ownership and solvency issues and that generated complaints as warrantees where in limbo and a lot of the work on the SuperSnakes from Shelby caused complaints too, hence both companies relatively new deletion from the :canada: Importable Vehicles list. :mafiasmilie:

[Tob]

Read both quotes again. It will be offered as a post-title vehicle only, just like the examples you mentioned.

[68fastback]

Got a link? I've never heard mention of that before.

Tob

No link. Just remember it from back when it happened.

Nice!

I wonder why Roush use such a restrictive CAI on their specials?

[68fastback]

I'd guess the MGT airbox picks up cold air pretty well ...so maybe they just use a low-restriction filter.
