YUCK!

butt ugly IMO

hmmmmm, looks pretty tight. weird how that works.

I hate that! They should just leave the spioler off if they are going to do that! Said it was 1 in a 100. Glad they dont put them on all of the roush mustangs

It's the Roush Trak Pack, a large functional spoiler kinda makes sense, don't you think?

No being that the roush isnt a super car. Kinda UGLY

Doing that to ANY Mustang is a crime. Someone has sh*t for taste.

I agree!

You have to realize thoe yes it is ugly but it does actually work. That car is made for the track. Its called the roush track pack.

It's not **** for taste, it's an actualy Roush car that's manufactured that way. The spoiler is functional, and the car is meant for a TRACK, not for street duty.

The GT500's that run on the track have big spoilers on them and no one makes fun of them..

It might be ugly on a "street" car but, I'm pretty sure Jack Roush has an idea of what he is doing.

The car is a track car but honestly the spoiler is a bit much. Come on it isnt going to effect it THAT much. For the car it is, a roush spoiler would do fine!

Trak pak or not, the S197 is an aerodynamic brick and that spoiler won't do diddly on a road course.

Hey, at least it's pushing the right wheels to the ground...

But yea, it's ugly as ****.

You dont see a spoiler like that on this monster http://www.fastcoolcars.com/images/2008-z07/2008-chevrolet-corvette-z07.jpg

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the roush, just gagged when I saw that spoiler[:'(]

i wonder why they didn't put the roush rear bumper on this.. hmmm

as for the spoiler, it is a little overdone, but i dont think it looks disgusting. i think its just something bout the colors not complementing each other too well. and it just doesnt look quite right on the mustang... still dont think its horrendous :D

dam kara, you rack up posts pretty quickly.. lol

perhaps inspired by Knight Rider... ruins the look of the car completely.

Yeah yeah I have nothing else to do right now but post on this board[:'(]

Is that car from Janesville, WI? I think it is and I am pretty sure that is my car sitting next to it.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.[:'(]

i like it, not to mention its functional.

That is part of the track pac its supposed to be functional.

YES IT IS! That is too funny! Honestly when I was looking at the pics, I noticed that sweet stang beside it! AND IT IS YOURS!

Here is another pic

I would like to see pics of your car. Will you please post them?

Hmmm Trak Pack. Designed for...the track. Oh, and yes even the Corvette has used a substantial spoiler to race.

Yeah that is a SUPER corvette with well over 500hp That roush isnt in the same category as those two cars.

I'd give my left nut for one..

I would take it too! AND take that spoiler off:D

which would defeat the purpose of buying it...if you don't like the spoiler but love the roush, then don't buy a track pack LOL

The wing is VERY functional. And the Trak Pak is an extremely fun car to drive. The handling and braking is incredible.

eww

im still 50/50

Functional because these cars can ran 160 mph very easily. Go to their website.

I think it's a wonderful way to recycle old used ironing boards.

That spoiler should be completely optional.Giving someone an option could save you face on the street.I think the suspension has more tunability than a spoiler does,even on a road course.I got a chance to drive one these Track Pack cars and it was awesome.

It does look large enough and high up enough to actually be functional, and if it didn't look so much like it was Midnight Auto Parts-supplied off some riced-out Honda, it'd be a whole lot easier to take.

It's the Roush Trak Pack, a large functional spoiler kinda makes sense, don't you think?




So they put a different sticker on it, and now it's a racing car that needs a wing? I don't think it will help much in the only competition these cars will see (being judged at car shows).

usually I am "to one his own"...but this just doesn't belong. maybe a short black Steeda race wing

Wow, it's actually worse than the normal Roush spoiler, now that's saying something.

I'm sorry...even I wasn't to fond of it when I first laid eyes on it at the dealership and I love the ROUSH. I understand the reasoning and concept/purpose behind having it on a trac pac vehicle but it gives it the look of something that would have chop sticks sticking out of the fuel tank especially when you know alot of people won't actually have it on a track that they'll just be driving it around town.

OK people. It's designed for the TRACK. Hence the wing.
Then again, what would Jack Roush know about racing?

I can't believe people buy that and think it looks good.

i think that it looks badass.....i love it.

Yea designed for the track not the street. It doesn't appear to be sitting in the pits at some race track? It's looks stupid. +1 on the chopstick statement. I can hear the owner now rhy rar ru ruys ripping on ry rwing??

Does this make you gag too. It's a TRACK car...

Is that supposed to be an impersonation of an Asian person? How ignorant are you? That doesn't even make sense. ;)

Seems like there are more people who DONT like it than DO!

In what way is it designed for the track? I see full set of lights, street tires, air bag, horn, cup holder, no harness, no roll bar. It is 100% street legal, but probably wouldn't pass tech for most race organizations, so I have to conclude that it's a STREET car... with a goofy wing.

How come this thread ended up in the video section ? [&:]

WOW I lost this thread. Wonder why it was moved[:@]

Seriously?
Aparently neither of you have stuck your hand out the window at 60mph & tilted it? I'd guess you haven't done it at 150mph either?

I'd love for either one of you to take a piece of scrap metal or plastic in that shape & try to tilt it like that toward the ground, even at 50mph... I guarantee it'll rip your arm out of socket if you keep hold of it :D

That spoiler is an option if you don't understand aerodynamics or if the effects it has are stupid in comparison to looks it's simple you don't have to get one. As for comparing it to that corvette, the corvette does have a lip that helps with downforce. It helps to have it up higher due to that being a low pressure area on the vette it's not nearly as much of a low pressure area due to the roof line. Having it up that little bit higher makes the effects greater. You need to think though the corvette was built for performance, the mustang... wasn't. It was built to sell & be sporty. The spoiler most definitely does work.

where is the vid?

this is the video section.

n0obs[8D]

NO NOT NOOBS it got moved here for some reason by a MOD helloooooooooooooo. Yeah a vette has a small wing not some ricer POS

it`s against the law someone do that to a mustang on the mustang bible chapter302 vers page 289 mustang bible those people that break the rules trying to do a mustang ricers will not rest in peace

i don't get what the big deal is. you fukcers think it shouldnot be there because you think it's ugly. It's not your damn car so why be such bitches about it. As soon as it sells the owner can do what ever the hell they want to it and don't see why you should care. The future owner might take the wing off or put an even bigger one. worry about your own car, after all, that's what you bought it for. /thread

^^^^^ PWNED

What is wrong with you people? You don't bash something 95% of us will never have nor understand the engineering behind. God knows thatI don't understand the engineering and thatI am not aprofessional driver. I realize we all have our preferences for appearance, but a car that is designed for a road race track, specifically not the street and not a drag strip, *needs* downforce on the ass end. If you take a look at the Steeda race wing it is nearly identical in height and gawdiness. The idea is not to be pretty but just work, and if you can't appreciate that, I suggest moving on because maybe you all forgot the giant wing on the Cobra Rs? Ford came to the same conclusions.

Roush wants the Trak Pak car to be driven on a track, not shown. Showing it would be the silliest waste of moneyI could imagine. Roush is a racing company in case you people forgot. They sell carbon fiber fenders and hood for our cars. That's serious **** when our cars weigh as much as they do and are as front-heavy as they are. That's not something you put on a show car. You put that **** on your Mustang and take it to a track and beat the living hell out of that ****ing car because that's what it was meant for. That's what I plan on doing to my car. It's a beautiful car and I almost can't bring myself to the idea of tracking it and possibly destroying it, but in the long run I have a passion that I can't ignore to drive the living hell out of my car and make it do what I want it to do.

Anyway, I'm getting out of my soapbox now because I am not trying to start **** with only 8 posts so far, but the overall attitude of a lot of the **** I've read throughout this site is really disheartening.
