Roush has been doing Fords for years and did some AMAZING late 90's cars. I was on my way home from work one day driving down telegraph road in MI. They had 75 south shut down. I was in my 95 Cobra ( supercharged ) A red 97 with a Cobra R hood and some sick ground effects rolls up next to me. I jumped my car and he looked and smiled at me. The next light we went! He left me like I was pulling my E brake! The next light I caught up. Flagged him down and started talking to him about the car. IT WAS JACK ROUSH!!! When he first introduced himself I did not put 2 and 2 together. He said to me. Your car hung pretty good! I laughed and he then said he had toned that car down for the street. Him and his production manager were on the way to Matthews Ford in Oregon Ohio to show them the car. They were kind of lost because the freeway was closed. I lived right behind the dealer. I had them follow me to the dealer. They gave me their cards and told me to call if I ever needed anything! Sorry for the long blast. Just brought back a found memory.
That’s a great story. Thanks for sharing!
