Believe me; these things look much better in person. I didn't think I would like them from the pictures I saw, But now...

I think the stripes ruin it. Why would they opt for those skinny stripes

I like the rear bumper, the front bumper reminds me of combat style bumpers, the car is clean and too much "stuff" going on up front. :notnice:

I think the Roush is gorgeous but overpriced for what you get. I know the carbon fiber adds to the price considerably but if it were me, I would delete that option from the interior trim as well as the Jack Roush signature gauge package.

The exterior of the car is perfect in my view although I would not get the 20" rim/tire combo either. 18's would be perfect for me!

Everything else is awesome! :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

I think these are pretty darn slick looking - I like!

The blue seats are SWEET!

Then they have to go and ruin it with the carbon fiber interior....

:bang:


God who WANTS that crap in their car??..... :scratch:

I'm guessing those are Roush's 18 inchers they are now advertising on their website....

I like the spoiler....except I think it's ruined by being split up into 3 pieces.

You cannot use all the lights at once; if you turn on the lower fogs, the upper (grill) fogs turn off...

I'm going to have to say that those both look terrible. Especially the wheels and the fake carbon dash. Roushes are also way overpriced for what you get, it's a pretty big waste of money.

I respect everyone's opinion, but to anyone who doesn't like it; drive this thing down the road and see how many folks disagree with you...it also looks better in person.

I wouldn't trust the general population because the "cool" thing to do these days for everyone is riced out civics, supras, etc..

I'm sure it does look better in person, as all cars do, but it still doesn't justify the waste of money. How much more $ does one of those cost compared to a standard GT, and what performance benefits do you get?

The Sport (which these are) is primarily an appearance package other than exhaust. The seats could be considered a performance upgrade (better bolstering). MSRP is $36022. A comparibly equipped GT would probably MSRP around $28000. It's not for everyone, but I wouldn't knock anyone who wanted to pay a little more money for better looks (subjective) and exclusivity. This car WILL get more attention that a GT, and for some that alone makes it worth the added cost.

I don't see the guages for oil pressure or battery. I can't believe a high performance car like this would have idiot lights when the GT Prem. has the guages. :scratch:

The GT Premium only has the guages if it has the OPTIONAL IUP...

those seats have better bolstering? umm... they just look like redone stock leather premium package seats... maybe it's just me or am I looking at it wrong.

Definitely better bolstering...again, this car needs to be seen to be appreciated.

On the Mineral Grey Roush, those are 18x10 all around with 275's???? Roush only lists an 18x10 on their website. Isn't 10" rim in the front kinda large?

Also, is the mineral gray a Stage 1? If so, I assume that is the stock suspension. Looks pretty good.
