So here's my new addition to the stable. A new weekend toy.
I'm so happy with it - it's immaculate.

Looks really nice, would love one, bit undecided on the wheels though I have to admit.

I'm not a fan of the exteria...the chrome wheels are not my bag, nor is the colour, it's just too much for me....however, once the bonnet is open it is a different story! what's the spec and performance?

No branding to identify it as a Roush? wink

Great colour! I love the front of these but hate the back.

As said, spec please...

Looks awesome!

The only thing I would change is a repaint of the wheels, not keen on the chrome - gunmetal or silver would look great.

stunning car smile

The chrome probably does not work in blighty as well as it would in a sunnier climate, so embrace the all that is British and grim, and fit some dark gunmetal wheels

Not usually my cup of tea but what a beast!

Fantastic colour.

Also surprised that speedo stops at 140mph?

And the two stickers on the boot (blame previous owner).
Oh and it says Roush on the wheels.
And the windscreen.
And the door sills.
And the wings.
Errm, also gearstick and gearknob.
Either side of the bonnet scoop.
On the dials.
Stitched into the seats.
And it says 427R on the mats and front bumper. And the wings again. Oh and Roush in a few places under the bonnet wink
But apart from that, no. You'd hardly tell wink

Actually it's only the 2 on the bootlid that are non-standard. (I believe).

The 427R is based on the Roush stage 3, which means it's supercharged. Performance exhaust. Uprated suspension (inc sway bars) and brakes. Sits an inch lower than a std GT on Roush 18 in wheels. Short throw shifter. As well as cosmetics like dials, CF dash, seats, front & rear spoiler. The 427 misses out on the Roush rear bumper and exhaust tips, but gains an off road exhaust and a rejigged ECM to up the power to 427hp.
