Crazy how every person gets in a supercharged mustang and it’s just straight smiles every single time. U never get bored with these cars no matter what and I can honestly say that from driving one. There’s so many other fast cars out there but these cars just do it every time. Imagine if they made the gt500 with a 6 speed tremac and a little lighter. That car would of been perfection. I hear so many complaints about it not being so fun after a while compared to the rest of cars mustangs . It’s crazy

[@chrishensley2879]

Great review Joe! It’s an amazing Mustang. Brought one home last week after many months of sorting through the many mustang options out there now.. which is a great thing buy the way..! The Roush had many things going for it at that price point as compared to the Shelby options and the obvious.. paying over sticker. 1) you will not pay MSRP, dealers will make deals on these and with rebates. 2) The options added to these beasts are 1st class performance options and fine tuned by a Man/company who has been in racing for over 50 years ie from suspension, motor, superchargers, amazing exhaust.. as well as fueling and cooling upgrades.. its an awesome race car you can drive on the road. 3) The creature comforts sold me as well, this car is plush and a joy to ride in! I will upgrade the brakes as was mentioned in many comments but shouldn’t deter any one from going another direction, plenty of stopping power with the standard performance pack. 4) And finally I chose the 6 speed manual with the 3:73 rear end.. manual is the only way to enjoy these cars in my opinion. Roush does offer the “Podium Package” which gets the upgrade brake package along with forged wheels, pedals, active exhaust, cover and more things I can’t think of at the moment. I’ve only had it for a week but it’s the most amazing car I’ve ever had the pleasure of driving. Great review, keep them Pony show coming..!!
