Im not a mag racer by any stretch, but I did see a "380" in R&T. They where out in cali somewhere at the "legal street drags" they call it. R&T was clicking off mid 13's to low 14's. I know that cant be right and obviously something is not right. Maybe its not a prepped track at these races, I dont know, but its along way off a 12.3 pace. Prep or no prep.

Im sure its a nice car and im sure its faster than R&T claims, but for the money the 03 just makes more sense and power!!!!

Roush is hands down a waste. You are buying a GT motor that can not be modded later with a questionable warranty. If you want to mod and go faster the Cobra is you ticket. I just don't see a whole lot of people wanting a used Roush. In a few years when the warranties are gone and you can do what ever you want, the Cobra will be the only way to go.

I had an encounter with one at the track...I was running 13.1-12.8 while he ran 14.5-13.5.

They are quick little cars but not for the price they want.
