Thanks. I never seen those cars run so I was thinking Cobra fast or better comming from an aftermarket company. It was fun I must say. I do like the way they look to.

No. They made many more than 427. 427 represents the flywheel horsepower. You can confirm on the roush website. i beleive the weight to be 3600ish.

Im going to put my car on a scale that we use to ship Cargo on military planes and see what it weighs. There isn't any weight reduction on my car so this should be good or suprising

I also had a chance to mess with a 427R. We were playing around and he passed another car so I followed. He stayed on it and I flew by him. We stopped and talked, checked out each others cars for a bit. He told me it was his wifes car. He also said that the computer stops him from being able to jam the gears fast. If he tuned that out, his warranty would be void.

It won't void the entire warranty, but you can have a claim denied if they can prove your aftermarket tune caused the problem......or was linked indirectly to the cause of the problem. Having an aftermarket tune does not invalidate your car's entire warranty....for everything. I think it's illegal for a service shop to deny warranty repair wholely for the car just because it has a single aftermarket modification. The modification has to be linked to the cause of the malfunction or breakdown. That's how I've come to understand it, anyways.

It was a good day and I guess the Z was having an even better day. I took the car out with the wife and while driving a man in his 40's pulled up to me in his Roush 427R. I don't normally race because of the crack downs but this guy was actually wanting to go. So I put it into normal drive and I pointed to go and we did. My car shifted down into 2nd and we took off pretty good even though he got the jump. We started at about 45 mph and didnt take long before I started to pass him and when we finished at about 95mph I had 6-7 cars on the guy and he let off because I kept pulling on him I guess.. It's been a long time since I've done that but it was a good kill especially when the wife is in the car smiling. I thought these cars would be faster.
