I saw a beautiful black Roush today on the freeway. I was admiring the car so much I almost missed the "thumbs up" the driver was giving me. It had blacked out wheels with chrome looking "knock offs", the stance was perfect, but I noticed the exhaust exited in the center of the rear valance. Each port was rectangular on the side closest to the center and semi tear droped on the side closest to the side of the car. All the pictures I find have rectangular exhaust ports in basically the same location as the stock exhaust exit. Any body know where I can find pics of the version I saw?

Are you sure it was a Roush? Saleen's have the center exhaust.

what car were u driving the 05 or the 66?

Yes, I am sure it was a Roush. It had the Roush windshield banner. It also had the black rims with chrome knock offs. That is why I noticed it. My buddy was just telling me that morning he had saw a maroon Roush but didn't care for the black wheel/chrome knock off wheels. Also, the exhaust ports were closer to the size of the Roush shown, but had a shape similar to the black inserts on the bumper. If you were to flip those horizontally, make them the size of the Roush exhaust, and move them centered it would be what I saw.

I was in the 05, which is probably why he gave me a thumbs up.

:scratch: If you see one again, get some pics. I'm curious to see what you are talking about.

Have you talked to anyone about photoshopping one up for a better visualization?

Yah, the photochop would make us understand

OK, NO LAUGHING ALLOWED (or ALOUD either) !!!!!!!

Here is a very crude hack job in ms paint (only thing I have on the omputer I am at)

Still not my cup o'tea. I'm very disappointed w/ Roush's creation for the '05.

look at that quality on fit and finish on the saleen back end, esp around the spoiler area

sad for $42k

slavehand

If you say so, partner. I don't see what the complaining is for. Maybe you can clarify exactly what you think is wrong.

The Saleen looks much cleaner in every aspect that has been modded from the base GT than any mod done to the Roush. But this is not the proper thread for this debate.

Hate both rearends

Something just isn't right with only 2 bars for taillights on the Saleen too

slavehand

3 bar lights are available by popping off those little plastic clips over the reverse lights. Check out the photos of the tail lights here:Saleen

Hmm didn't know that. Better than the Roush, but still not saying much. :P

slavehand

Personally, I'm going to leave the clips in.

I really don't like the spoiler on the Roush or the vents in the rear bumper :nono:

I agree that the Saleen looks much better than the Roush, but look at the left side of the Saleen, where the bumper meets the rear fender, and where the spoiler meets it as well...neither of these areas have matching body lines. It looks cheap.
