Roush Mustangs

Post by PeteC »

I've been over here for so long I didn't even know this company existed. Being a Mustang nut the show about Roush on Discovery Turbo last night had me glued. I know, not everyone shares my enthusiasm for American muscle cars, or Mustangs, but I grew up with them so I'm hopelessly addicted. 8) Enjoy the website, what they do to a stock Mustang is incredible. :D Pete :cheers:

I totally agree, and if I could afford one like the one in the photo Pete posted, I would buy it without giving it a second thought.

American muscle cars, cheap, and fast in a straight line and over the last couple of years they have even designed in the ability to turn a corner at speed, something they have sadly lacked in the past.

Now all they have to do, is improve build quality.

Think I will stick to Jags, The new E Type supercharged V8 is just out and the wheel is on the correct side in them. :wink:
I've lost my mind and I am making no effort to find it.

New jag is called the f type, first talked about in the early 2000s. It was a stunning prototype but didn't happen. Top model is powered by nearly 500 horses......yummy:-)

They were putting big blocks in the cars grope long time before McQueen, v8s came in just after ww2 and stock cart racing came a bit after. Can't beat the rumble of a big v8. :-)

Maybe, but I remember watching Bullet as a star struck 17 year old and thinking how cool is that to do wheel spins at 50 mph, when I had a Morris Minor 948 cc that could do about the same speed flat out!!

The first muscle car I remember was In Smokey and The Bandit in a 6.6 Pontiac Firebird, the black and gold paint job - that was my dream car for years (I think I was 5 years old when i saw it on VHS!). Years later I discovered that it had around 200bhp and wasnt very fast at all!

To hell with speed :laugh: What it lacked in speed, it made up for in looks. :thumb:

The best car I've ever owned was my old 4.1 liter, straight 6 Chev Elcomino pickup, and the best thing of all was the fact that you could carry out all your own repairs.
