Thank you. Yes,..they are more rare than the Shelbys. Only 400-500 of Roush cars are made in a year.

Yes,.....Shelby would have gone up a lot. Plus, the excise tax and sales tax would have been more, obviously. My insurance is about 1,500-1,600 a year for the truck and the Roush, both full coverage.

I was going to fire her up yesterday, but didn't have time. Plus, the ground was still pretty wet from the melting snow.

Yeah,.....I'm thinking I have to buy one.
It will be a CTEK for sure. One of the best on the market. Lots of Camaro, Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari drivers use them.

Did you research how to store your car for the winter? From what I've read it's better to fill up the gas tank, trickle charge the battery, and the don't start the car until it's time to come out of hibernation...those cold starts and idling are tough on the motor.

The Camaro SS, I used to just disconnect the battery and connect it when I fired it up. I do know about all the other stuff. I probably will order one of the CTEK battery tenders/maintenance products soon.

Yes, they do make them in automatic transmission as well.

A member here has a 2014 automatic Roush S3.

OOOH! I found an automatic at a dealer an hour away. I will have to stop by and take a look next time I'm in that area. I wonder if they would let me take it for a test drive?

Falling in love, that is what I'm worried about. lol. In love with that power. But really, I think it would be too much for me. That dealer is one of the biggest in Texas. They have several. The automatic is black with silver stripes. Now if they had a silver with black stripes, Mmmm.
