I saw on the website that they're making a V6 version...

Link?

If it emphasizes the strengths of te V6's lighter weight and potential for more sports-car like handling, it could be cool...especially if they charge a lot less.

Looks like a **** good package. As much as I love the BBP wheels, it's too bad they didnt go for lighter pieces, seeing as how you pay for them as part of the package.

Looks like they found a way to recycle some takeoff parts from the GTs and squeeze a few more bucks out of their customers. LOL

If they would do something with more distinctive wheels and maybe a power adder like a turbo or blower for stage 3, it would be awesome. A 12.5 second V6 Mustang that got 29 MPG with a warranty would be sweet.

From their site:

"The RS package starts at $4,000, pushes out 305 horsepower and gets up to 31 mpg highway. 19″ premium painted aluminum wheels and tires, the same wheels and tires found on the factory Ford Mustang GT with Brembo brakes, and Roush lowering springs"

tells me they are only doing handling and cosmetic changes. Nothing to the engine. That's a lot of money for springs, seats, and tire/rims. And you get a "R" placed on the fender.

Hmm...so I almost have that car already. Roush front fascade, grille, front splitter and rockers. So can I put the R emblem on my car, or would that be mislabeling according to the purists?

What am I allowed to do here?

I like that scoop. It's got the same shape as the front of the car

I have a very similar fake hood scoop on mine. I didn't put it there, and wouldn't have. But 'hideous' might be a bit strong. Several people have actually commented positively on it.

No matter what body kit/accessory comes out for the car, somebody's not gonna like it. The only person that really matters is you when you're talking about your car, and everyone else can suck it.

Harsh but true. In the end, it's your car and you do whatever floats your boat.

I like it, but 4,000 does seem like too much for the amount of improvement. I kinda like the hood scoop but have yet to see one in person.

I agree. I kinda wish they didn't just slap the brembo wheels on. I do like the styling though.

Good answer. Add to it that the person with such designs is making the payments too.
