Lost to a Mustang I was on the express way and this this mustang revs at me going about 55mph. Well to make the story short we took of from a 55pmh roll and he took me bad. By about 100mph, he had about 6 (maybe more) car length on me. This Mustang was not ordinary Mustang GT. It a different ground kit and in the back where the GT badge normally goes it said (Rouch1) and in the front quarter panels it had a an R instead of the GT badge. I have never seen a Mustang like this. Anyone know what I just raced. The exhaust sounded wicked. Oh btw, this was a 99 and newer shape.

Re: Lost to a Mustang Maybe it was some type of Roush? I don't know too mucha bout the Roush or Saleen stangs, but I think all or most of them are supercharged SOHC's... you'd need somebody with more extensive knowledge than I have. Nice death!

Re: Lost to a Mustang wow weard dude they made a cobra R for a bit (to play off of the skyline gt R) but i dont think rouch got there hands on em.. did it have a diffrent looking airfoil or did that look like the normal gt?
i know how frustrating it is to eat it that bad but there is no better reality check than seeing a set of tail lights dissapering quickly.
good death man

Re: Lost to a Mustang everybody has their moments.
sounds like one of the roush cars, since you got a real good look at the rear bumper, the saleens and roush cars are numbered i do believe. was there a number on the bumper? like a production number. i mean like what number it was when it came off the factory assembly line. they badge all of these cars like that. makes them authentic. like its a one of a kind.

Re: Lost to a Mustang it sounds like u raced a roush stage 1. the R on the side is where the gt should be, but he probably just got a custom badge. stage 1 is just appearance mods. so it was basically a gt, most likely with i/e etc

Re: Lost to a Mustang You raced what is called a Roush 360R. They are roush GT's with a different body kit and minor performance upgrades over a stageII. LINK http://www.stangnet.com/releases/rou...roush360r.html check'em out. Sharp cars. Very rare. A local dealer here in Lexington had about 6 of them at one point.

Re: Lost to a Mustang I've seen one of those 360Rs. I didn't know those were roushs, I always assumed it was just some body kit and they just made up the decals to look cool. I never knew someone actually produced those things like that. Nice death.
