Out with the 2014 and in with the 2015 Roush
After spending 2 years of slowly building out my special order 2014 GT for the road courses I made the mistake of test driving a 2016 GT to see if the independent rear suspension was worth the upgrade and was blown away by the difference from mine. My awesome wife told me I can't trade a GT for a GT as she did not want to go through the whole upgrade process again. After a day of haggling at the dealership on my birthday our incredible salesman/friend was able to get me into a new 2015 Roush stage 3 he just received. This is the dream car I never thought I would have and still can't believe I get to drive it every day, except for Thursdays and Fridays as my wife gets visitation rights to it on those days. But I'll get those same visitations on her GT350 we'll get her after her current lease is up. I Attached probably too many pictures but couldn't resist.

Congrats on the new ride.
......Stage 3 kit costs 22K + the cost of the car !
What kind of dyno did you put it on to get 611rwhp ?
What SAE corrections were applied.
SAE J1349 & SAE J607 are the most common.

First off,.............BEAUTIFUL car Tom!! Very nice.
So, did you get the Trak Pak with the 3 way coil over suspension? How does the car handle the road, and the road course, if you had a chance to take it out.
Congrats! And don't worry about posting too many pics. We love cars here.

I just saw the 2015 GT350 tonight that will go way over $100,000.
Your car is just as good if NOT better and fraction of the price!
Great car & fantastic wife...exactly what life is all about!

How much is a Stage 3 Roush? 65-70K? Can you buy Roush's under sticker? GT350 with track pack is around $57K + 5-10K so are they about the same?
Performance wise how will they compare?

I'm actually wondering how the Roush will compare to the new GT350. Certainly there will be markups but not $40K so I don't it will take $100K to buy a GT350.

And anyone stupid enough to pay over sticker price is a ****ing idiot, hell if you're stupid enough to pay sticker price you're a ****ing idiot.
