Default ran a roush 427

on the way home from the meet we got a few runs in with a new roush 427. To be honest i thought id get creamed when i heard the whineeee but we stayed almost even every run depending on who would jump. i did get my friend to get a vid of the last run tho so ill have one up soon since im on my dial up right now. video is on my last post

yeah after checking into them they seem to be a little overrated in the power department and are fat boats but they do look very nice and im sure ride alot better but damn they got a price tag. i wont have the video up till tuesday probably cause i need to buy a data cable

Roush 427. I am assuming it has a 427? If so that's pretty lame in the performance department.

427 flywheel hp, and from your mods, if you're tuned you probably make 350rwhp, he makes 370-380rwhp and weighs a bit more, sounds right.

i think id be lucky to have 350rwhp. i have crinked 200$ slp headers and a hacked up used dual exhaust with the lid. i weighed 3700 that night which is around their weight w/o driver.. riding solo i probably would have beat him enough to call it a kill but theres no telling.

Because Ford makes the Roush and all.....

Anytime you buy a Saleen or Roush Mustang you are wasting money.

In the hands of an average driver the Roush 427 would not get out of the 13's. Don't pat yourself on the back too much. However it was a good kill and looking forward to watching the video!

A relative of mine has a 09 427R.It's a nice stang,but I don't care too much for the color combo he has (orange w/ white stripes)or the price he paid for it.But hey he likes it.

The Roush 427 is overrated and overpriced and I have personally destroyed a couple at the track! They are high 12 second cars!

I've seen them around and they aren't much for how they look and how they are titled. Good kill.
