It was a 2003 roush, and i think it was stage 1 or 2... so not very modded, but still, i was happy.

I've seen a couple of the Rousch Mustangs run. The one Husker encounted must have been sandbagging or hashed out, because there is no way MY SC would touch it.

husker any pics of your car ?



I have however once or twice indulged in the 1/4 mile challenge after the lights go green.. . TT, A4, A5, M3, Boxter all ate rubber and fumes. But then I learnt the hard way. Acceleration required to race seriously burns fuel in a 4.3l v8. In london unleaded is at $10.31 per gallon, I bought my car cash then got finance to pay for the unleaded.

those are pilot sports and i love them. no wheelspin or sliding unless i really force it. I'm getting a custom exhaust too so i think that might scare some away with the sound even though it isn't the fastest, people think it is. and like you, I've shown my fair share of audis my back end. almost took an older m3, but he had it modded. srt-4s, rsxs, and others too, I've blown away. and i feel you on the gas prices. over in the states it isn't nearly as bad, but boy do i pay for it when i take it out to those country roads.
