Hey guys,
I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place but this is really the only board I review alot. Either way I got it finally!
2005 GT White with Red leather and Auto, the really cool part is it's a Roush! I figured what the heck? So far I've got nearly 500 miles on it but since I had to drive over 200 miles to pick it up that's not too bad. It's in the garage now as I've finally gotten away from it.
It did go down the track the night I brought it home, all we have here locally is 1/8th mile but it ran a 9.23 completely stock with 300 miles on it. Stock wheels and tires and everything.
Since then I've installed an AFE air intake, of course a 93 octane performance program, and the best yet a set of 18x9's and 18x10.5's Boyd's Cosmic Smoothie's with Nitto 555's 255/40's and 275/40's.
I love the Roush package and the attention that comes with it. Being able to bark the tires into 3rd is also nice
I've got some dyno time coming up very soon and also some other minor mods. I don't plan on a supercharger anytime soon as this is truly just a show car and a dyno car, for tuning purposes, so my programming will be even better especially my auto tunes. I've already tried somenew things that are working out great.
Check it out and tell me what you think...and like I was told before, I don't regret buying an auto one bit....

Holy #&@ I knew you were in the market for a new S197 auto but shoot - SWEET ROUSH!!!!
Nice man!!!
Can't wait to see what you do with it! Heck, can't wait to SEE IT next year at Birmingham.....
You definitely deserve some nanners!
:banana2: :banana2:

Congrats Doug!! I'm glad you finally got your baby!! I know the last time we talked you were close to getting her. And of course... nanners!!
BTW, I've been track testing the street tunes you sent me... but I have a problem. Too much low end torque... I can't hook up anymore! hehe. The new drag radials will be here in a few days, so that should solve that problem. Can't wait to test out the DR tunes!
And I'll gladly volunteer to be your official SoCal test-driver for any improved auto trans tunes you come up with.

Congrats Doug!! I can't wait to see it buddy. We can get some good pics of the Roush when you want. I should be at Tacbear's the 29th, helping install The Rock's vortech.
