Default whats real???

So on another forum Im engaged in a discussion. I wanted everyones take here on this:

Is a Roush Mustang still a Roush mustang even if its just a body kit and wheels? Same with Saleen...

I say no. If theres no performance upgrades then its just a stock car with a body kit. A Roush Mustang is a Roush because it has upgraded suspension and a supercharger.

Yes there are different stages of Roush Mustangs. Stage 1 and sport packages usually being the body kits and wheels and body parts. and I do believe all Roush mustangs are numbered and badged not sure tho

I believe stage 2 starts the performance upgrades

check their site lol http://www.roushperformance.com/vehicles.shtml

this might be true, but heres the thing... Roush is known as a performance company. Same goes for Saleen. Even if its "official" and made by the company, it still doesnt represent what we think of when you say what it is.

i guess its kind of like when r!cers put different badging on their cars.

ding ding. yep. as long as it IS a Roush then yeah, but unofficially badging ur car for "cool" points nope

even my Z28 is an SS clone but I wont put an SS badge on it ever!

however comma--I think i understand what you are asking; if u purchase Roush or any other companies performance parts then feel free to sticker up, but it wont be a true Roush Performance vehicle. same with lingenfelter, and Nismo, all those companies
