B) yup but it sure would be very flashy... and can u imagine driving down the road and the sun hits it just right that it blinds the on coming traffic... dat be cool

 

Goodness that concept front-end looks waaaay better than production

 

i talked to someone at steeda... and he said theres no concrete plans yet. they havent even started to work on it yet. my bet is that they will something mid to late 05. as far as the others like roush or saleen... no idea. but its a competitive war... whoever pulls first wins. my guess is that roush will pull out stuff first.

 

Those that went to the 40th in Nashville actually saw updated pics from Roush Performance. I HIGHLY doubt they'd put out something as ugly as the gold monstrosity posted earlier in this thread. Unfortunately my fellow Roush drivers over at fnsweet.com are pretty tight lipped about the pics they saw, and I missed the 40th.

 

From previous discussions, I got the impression that Roush's aftermarket involvement would be limited to selling performance parts and body kit, while eliminating modding and reselling cars.

 

Roush still sells the Stage 1, 2, and 3 kits which come with everything that is needed to upgrade to whatever Rough Stage Mustang you want.

 

I meant for the plans for the 2005 and beyond. Someone posted details about a conversation with a Roush rep during a Ford event, and the rep told him Roush was leaving that side of the business due to competition and revenues. I believe that this took place about 3 months ago.

 

From www.roushperf.com, its in there Q & A archive, that sounds more than just aftermarket parts.


Q. Will Roush Performance produce a Roush edition of the 2005 Mustang?

A. We are working on a package for the the '05 Mustang. As we have updates, we will be sure to post them on this website.

 

That's great. I'd take Roush over Saleen or Steeda any day.

 

That Q&A used to say, we are already working on this vehicle. The change to "package" sounds like kit to me, rather than actual vehicles.

 

Me too. Roush is my favorite of the three.

I hope they come out with some 18's A.S.A.P.
