i gotta admit, i made a funny sound when i saw that picture of the white one and company. You know like a sound of pure desire and all that. I agree about the stripes, and i agree about the front fascia being quite busy. But then i realized that when i made anything out of lego, I always made it as busy as possible... lol.
I like it a lot. maybe they could replace the turn signal, make half of that round fog light orange and put another light behind the fender flare or something for the side. it looks like there are too many lights, so i figured if they just got rid of the grill lights that would do it. But it still looks pretty intense with both the new fog lights and the turn signals. I really like the looks of that blue one without the grill lights though, and no horsey on the grill. I'd love either one, white or blue. the black one's sick too.
I was never blown away by the previous roush cars we've seen, but i think that was mainly because i didn't like the colour in the grill and in the headlights. These ones are clean of that business, although i'd still like to see the hood scoop on there. I liked their scoop a lot.

I think it looks alot like those civics many of us make fun of. Way over-cooked. Why do you need more fog lights? Or air scoops to cool the front of the tires? It's just too busy. Maybe it looks better in person. 
Just not my cup of tea. :notnice:

I like the one Matt Kenseth is standing next to except fot the fascia and the headlights. I would chenge the angle of the fascia, it needs to be smooth. The red one just needs a 20lb sledge through the grille. Then once the grille and fog lights are gone I would put a billet grille in it and round of the fascia. Then I would put the stock headlights back on. I like Steeda Creation the best so far. Yet Saleens cars seem to be hidden.

I like the factory photo cars. The red grilled one is too ricey for me. The white/blue reminds me of the 360R I drove. It was one really sweet car. I was really impressed with the handling and power of that car.

I think the width of grill on the '05 makes them look narrower.
I agree on the fascia.

Why is it the blue one ont he right have no fog lights, uh, well, the stock set of foglights? Or a pony for that matter? Is it not finished?
I agree with everyone else though:
- stripes too small (couldn't they update them for the new car?)
- front waay too busy (3D Carbon look much better for the modern racer look)
- too many fog lights
But, man, that rear is the worst. From the hideous spoiler to the fake black things in the middle of the bumper, to the huge rectangluar cutout for small round exhaust tips. Nothing works for me back there.

Just noticed that the one blue is missing the horse myself, that's just a no-no.
I like the fogs in the grill, they gotta stay, but can't necessarily say get rid of lower ones, that big front needs something there ya know?
Didn't even notice that the ones at the plant don't have the painted grill, maybe that's why I like them so much better, although I do like the red grill on the redfire one, I just don't think a painted grill would look good on any other color. Also, didn't notice that they are missing the hood scoop, again maybe why I like them better, weird because I thought that long hood was kinda plain before.
I've always liked the Roush better than most of the other aftermarket cars so far, and I know I'm in the minority that I don't like the Saleen, but I agree that Roush definitely needs to clean up that rear end. But, Rampant, I think the huge cutouts for the exhaust tips are supposed to be completely filled with the tips, probably not completely done. See second pic: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?showtopic=11721 Rear spoiler is just plain bad.
