35k down = 416/42months; and no his car is a drag car. But dude i understand and i like the fact that your trying to help me out but i really do like the car and i have the money. I have seen all the stuff the R3 come wiht on roushpref.com; also im still in highschool i dont care if i can get 500+ rwhp but the fact is its going to be TIME IN THE SHOP for the car! Your telling me all this when your dad bought an S500 and put S550; doesnt make sense trying to show you have money? I am buying the car for the overall look and i feel in love with. There are other R3 owners that adore the car.
My dad put the S550 emblem because my mother wanted an s550 just because of what it is and we knew that she would never note the difference. So she just wanted the s550 to say that she got an s550 that is the main reason. You are saying that roush mustangs will be worth the same as shelby cars and I am saying chances are entirely against you. Then you go with the you want to mod it statement. But personally the funnest part is your first post when you want to put the central intelligence agency, exaust and a chip?? to the car. That was classic!
Get the Stage 3 Roush.I have a 2006.Great car!...This website has a Saleen bias.The new Shelby is a faster car,but you seem satisfied that you want the Roush...get it.The resale value is probably less ,but you won't sell it for a long time.I get many compliments on the car.The RoushS/C and the4.6 liter is a great match.Alot of folks don't care much for this roots style blower(don't let these guys bust your balloon)...I don't see anything wrong,myself and this isn't my first blown car.The suspension is much better than a stock GT.I don't care much for plastic hood scoops that have no real function(but each to his own).You will love this car...and probably get more than one speeding ticket,initially until the initial excitment wears off.You'll likely get laid more as well
The main reason we have against a roots style blower is that it is NOT efficient.
Well, if you are getting it then I will believe you. I just take everything on web forums with a grain of salt and even more so when coming from a teenager and when people start talking about extensive modifcations. But 500bhp is hard to measure, there are lots of inaccurate formulas to figure out what your bhp is based on rwhp. Either way I wouldn't start with a Roush, their suspension components are sub-par and the car is overpriced IMO.
You should check out my car before you say that Roush suspension is sub-par. My car handles great!!! and I have a 98 GT with LOTS of Maximum Motorsports stuff, and H&R springs. Maybe in the past, but considering Roush is a top Nextel Cup racing team I think they know what's up.
What does nextel cup has to do with a mustang??????? Last time I checked there is no mustang on nascar. If you really want pride you need to win lemans with the street version of the cars, not custom built roll-cage car with plexiglass panels pretending to be an actual car.
Who's saying Jack Roush is the next Carroll Shelby? That's like saying George W. is the next George Washington! Roush is a team owner with Ford backing, he's a great manager, but the next Carroll Shelby? They don't make men like good 'ol Carroll anymore, not considered P.C.. Jack's Huevos aren't anywhere near as large as Carroll's, so watch what you think and think what you say. Next Carroll Shelby?! I might just have to forward this to get some good laugh tracks. Ahhhh the ignorance of youth. Just jump in your 50K Mustang, chase some tail and hopefully get some, 'cause you be ill'in.
Well that was directly from one of the sales person's that told me that Jack Roush is the next upcomming Mr. Shelby; to tell you the truth FROM WHAT I KNOW; they both are doing the same thing make something out of nothing. They are all Performance Modifying clubs; show who you want because at the end im right. They put better/bigger/badder engines engines in car for people who want to have the power but not go through all the stress themeselfs. http://www.mustangheaven.com/forums/showthread.php?t=780&goto=nextnewest << educate yourself. Either way you put it they are both legends in their own ways.
LOL BETTER/BIGGER/BADDER ENGINES ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL(....Drops to floor to laugh a bit more....Rolls around......Finally gets back up to type) It is the same engine 4.6L 3 valve with an inefficient roots blower. When I finish with mounting the procharger on my stang, not to mention with an air to air intercooler made to fit. It will run merry go arounds any stage 3 roush oh and that is with still 25k to do in mods. Don´t know maybe Ill get gold plated rims or something like that
Get the R3...it's a good car but do not expect it to even up to Shelby ever. The salesman told you that because it's obviously what you wanted to hear. After you left he probably laughed his ass off because some 16 year old kid just believed that Roush was going to be the next Shelby...just like I'm going to laugh my ass off when my '67 is worth more than your '06. Buy Roush because it's a fun, good looking, fast car not because it's a good investment.

wow i guess making an OPINION that Roush is the next Shelby; makes people feel uncomfortable; im not going to buy this car because i want to make a profit off of it. Im buying this car because i like it. But i like the fact that your "'67 Sally" would be worth than a roush the cool good for you; but advise from me "get her done first before you put your 2 cents in about car value". Im not some poor bastard that tries to get money out of a car. I mess with cars as a hobby; and by the way Jack Roush is in the HOF and i think hes is in for a good reason. Nascar Sponsor; as a ford contributor.
i really dont like nascar i think its pretty gay a bunch of ugly cars driving in circles. I think the last gen roush cars looked better. you could put a kenne bell on 2v gt and put out the same rwhp as a roush at around 13 psi. Your obviously not going for power. i dont believe u will get this car for a secong and if you do insurance will kill you. if you do you probably will die or crash. maybe both. You wont be real cool when u wreck ur car. Roush chargers arent incredible the car is not incredible. Sure its cool. But not awesome. For half the money you could by a car with real lines instead of a retro looking car, mod the hell out of it, have pride in it, and be real bad ass. IMO if you really had the car on the way you wouldnt be arguing with us about getting it because you would already have it. Roush=bodykit+****charger+emblem that doesnt equal 50k+ to me buthey do what u want its your money but you could have a lot cooler car if u put some work into it

yea maybe if you read through all the post but you never know; i guess i have to put up pictures when i get it
First of all using cars as an investment does not make you a "poor bastard", that's just an ignorant comment.
Second of all I told you to get the Roush, it's a great car and you'll be happy with it but I'm telling you to stop comparing it to Shelby because although it doesn't matter on the internet you will make yourself look ignorant when talking to knowledegable people face to face.
Who cares if Roush is a NASCAR sponsor...Viagara is too, it doesn't mean anything
I wish I could comment on this sentence... "But i like the fact that your "'67 Sally" would be worth than a roush the cool good for you; but advise from me "get her done first before you put your 2 cents in about car value". ...but it made absolutely no sense.

sorry you didnt get my comment as you should have gotten it: i mean your talking about car value when your CAR isnt even completed i saw your pictures and your sally isnt up to standards. But i like the fact you agreed with me on the roush.
People i am talking about the roush because im getting one: Black on Black: and i was just wondering if i am making a good investment people say no people say yes; i think yes. I just hate when people underestimate young men and their power and knowledge.

??????? Young men with power and knowledge? Why don't you put a gun to your head now? You seem to "know it all", so what's the point of living? Geez... and this is our youth? So the salesman told you, huh? Yeah, I have some beach front property just outside of 'Vegas for cheap! I think YOU need to educate yourself(with printed literature that was thoroughly researched before going to press) and not some chatroom with other under 21(new booties) I mean, so called experts, and then make your assessment on Mr Roush and Mr Shelby. I'm sure Mr Roush himself wouldn't be comfortable with your "assessments". Like I said, get your car, get laid(finally) and I'm sure your perspective will drastically change. Come on! Sign that loan agreement and start your life! Come back in 10 years and maybe we'll believe you.
Bro I'm 17 too and i worked 4 years straight to pay for my 01 sixer in full, 9K. so how can u afford a new roush??? I can barely afford my insurance and gas making $9/hr.
also, man, getting a car at that much power at our age is a death wish. Dont get me wrong id love to have that car but its too much.
I knew of this one girl, whose dad bought her a viper on her 18th birthday. she lasted 2 weeks in the car b4 she crashed it and was killed. i know vipers have so much more hp but thats not the point.
just make the right desicision. if u have the money to afford and make payments just buy like a 03-04 GT or cobra and mod that.

ORIGINAL: 06Roush_st_3
i have a Stage 3 Roush '06 Screaming yellow.
The car is great, I believe way better then the SALEEN, and better then the GT 500. Here is why.
I think the SALEENs lack the true appeal of a mustang the body kit just doesn't work for me. The GT500 is a great car, great motor, to heavy and why pay 70K... You will NEVER get that back Shelby or not. In 20 years Jack Roush will be the next Carol Shelby. And my Stage 3 is one of two that to be produced, and now that Screaming Yellow is out for the new Competition Orange my car is VERY rare. This will be true far ALL of the Stage 3 cars though. Think about it. Carol Shelby built the old Shelby cars at his shop, So does Roush, Carol Shelby was at the top of his game, so is Jack Roush now. He has two Nextel Cup Championships back to back, tunes for Ford, and is helping Ford build and produce cars, Just like Carol Shelby did.
Ahhh... Carroll Shelby raced his GT350R's to B-production class championships at the expense of Chevy's 'Vette, since when does Jack Roush field a Roush Mustang racing team? I mean Steedas/Saleens/Roushs are all very nice cars, but they're boutique cars. Turn key ready made for the masses. A GT500 is a legitimate production vehicle, I realize Saleen qualifies as a manufacturer, but come on, since when does Saleen have a dealership network that's not located in a Ford dealership, with Ford mechanics doing all the work? I mean, maybe, just maybe your Roush Stage 3 will but worth something in 40+ years, look at the Yenko products from the late 60's. Then again, Mr Yenko put in engines that Chevy(initially) wouldn't put in Camaros/Novas/Chevelles and then we're talking about COPO cars($$$$$$). Mr Roush/Mr Saleen/Mr Steeda won't/can't do this. They just supercharge a Mustang add some graphics and slap on suspension/brakes and larger tire/wheels and charge a severe price. Anyone can farm out any late model Mustang and have this done for much, much less(if one does their proper homework). When someone buys an aforementioned Mustang(s) they want the look and response(from others) to justify their purchase. Do you think a hard working stiff would puck down 50K+ for a Mustang? When can buy a Mustang GT for 25-28K, add wheels/suspension for 5K(installed) and supercharger for 6K(installed) and a painted body kit of choice for 3K(installed), you'd have a seriously bitch'n 'Stang for under 40K with that exact same Roush/Saleen/Steeda or whatever body kit you'd like look. Also you have the luxury of doing all at once or in increments. Hey, it's your money, if you have it flaunt it(if that's your bag). I just bought some 20" American Racing Shelby Signature Series 'Razor" wheels and some Kumho 255/35WR20 tires for under $1350.00(installed) all brand new, all warranted. You just have to look. Now I think I'll buy those new lowering springs on E-Bay for $99.00........The old saying goes...."A fool and his money are soon parted". Enjoy

Quit stereotyping. Just because he's young doesn't mean that all teens are like him or that others aren't knowledgeable.

Since when does stating an "opinion" on what's been posted so far, equate to "stereotyping". Show me a mature, responsible and self-supporting teen with all the knowledge in the world and I'll stop making "opinions". I'm sure a handful exist, but I'm sure(an opinion) they wouldn't spew out crap like some teens we have seen on this forum. Good luck on your '67(great year)

Teen or not no one knows everything. I'm 15 and I know a considerable amount more than some people on this forum and a whole lot less than others. 17, 25, 50...idiots are everywhere, this one just happens to be 16.
