Default I'm in love!

I was just walking around downtown Tampa when I saw a nice '03 white GT with blue stripes. But when I got close to it it turned out to a Roush 360R. I love the hood and the front fascia on it . Does anyone know whats under the hood or what kind of numbers it runs?

Zate watch it!!!!!Everyone has thier own opinion but dont dog the Roush's OK.Next trackday you might just be owned by one of them

The 360R will dyno around 360 to the wheels or 330 if your on a MD dyno.They run around 43,000 and will give you 12s 1/4 times with alot of pratice.Ive seen a lady that has one with just DRs run 8.5 in the 1/8 and she cant really drive it yet but is getting better.It will go 160mph easily and with the roots blower its really fun around on the street.
I have the REG. Roush stage 3 and had it dynod and have around 340 to the wheels and probably more now that I have a X-pipe on it and my A/F is still rich as hell.With a 2.0 60ft time and missing 4th gear I still went 13.01 in the 1/4 12s are a shift a.....way......Ive have yet too see a new cobra run faster than me unless they have slicks on them and some mods.Ive seen a cobra run 12.23 with filter,skinnys,slicks,X-pipe,and a chip....Ill run the same with similiar mods but looks of a Roush against a Cobra is no comparison at all....ROUSH FOREVER

i love the way the 360R looks though.. just not sure why the price diff over a Cobra ..

Solid axel swap on a Cobra - lightening pully - Xpipe - Cat back - intake and chip - and Dr's..hehe.. Aharon.. thats what you need to do..

The price difference is easy. Rousch has to get it from Ford fully assembled, take it all apart and put stuff back on. Then they mark it up for their labor and parts. Ford has the advantage that they only have to put it together 1 time on the assembly line.

I love the way they look and perform "out of the box" but I also put Roushes and Saleens in the same catagory as Vettes, great cars that put you in the same rangeof performance as exotics and supercars for a fairly cheap sticker price, but the owners' demographic primarily consists of old rich men having a midlife crisis or trying to recapture their youth, never exceeding the speed limit and just sitting around and bench racing.

Hey man, I got a couple good pics of Roush 360 R's from under 5 month's ago when I was in Marietta GA.
They had Saleen's Roush's, Cobra's and GT's all out on the lot, GA kicks ass!@
I got lots of pics of all the cars. 03 Cobra's included
