Ummmm, see opinion above...$40,000 and 12.3 in the 1/4. That sucks big time. The looks are nothing special. The handling can't possibly be that much better than stock to justify that ridiculous price. That only leaves, "Hey, I'm cool, I've got a ROUSH! Thbbbbttttttt.

i dont know how a stock stang handles but the rough pulls .99g's...what other cars can u buy for 40,000 that run 12.3... if it was me i would just rather buy a cheap car and put all that money i saved into it, but that still doesnt change my mind about that car being bad ass

It will once you actually build yourself a badass car. You'll wonder where all that money went in that Roush. But hey, it's all a matter of taste. Some people like spending a ton of mone and getting an ultra-high performance name to go along with a mediocre performance car.

If you live for driving around cones in the parking lot, maybe .99 g's is impressive and worth it. IMHO, curves are an unnecessary impedence along my way so it doesn't do much for me. And for $40,000, 12.3 in the quarter is pathetic.
