roush is retarded, these arent even close to 427 cube motors why call it a 427 besides to make yourself look idiotic. its a stock cube motor with some dumb crap done to it, another waste of money roush product. nice rapage.

what are you talkin about over rating? they prob really make 427 bhp, the 60hp loss is through the drive train to the rear wheels. either way there still slow for the $$$

Slow or not, they look awesome, but with that being said I still wouldn't buy one.

We all know that a normal S281 isn't any faster than a regular GT. And they aren't quite $50k... last I checked it was $42k. Still overpriced, but not $50k. And you can't use 1/4 mile times to justify/disqualify price, because a C5 wasn't much faster in the 1/4 than an LS1 Formula, yet it cost ~$20k more. Of course the Corvette was much better overall, but still.
