Roush Stage 2 or California Special

[Batman1]

You're right...I thought they would be pretty close. Saw an RS2 on Autotrader for around 35k. Didn't seem to have anything wrong with it.

Roushhhh all the way.. you won't regret it.... I'm on my second Roush and can't be more happy... All the complements from the people make you feel great also the graspy sound and style....

OR you can

#buildyourselfaRoush and save a lot of money like me and my effectively what is an rs2 but with corsa and an actual functional cowl hood. I also have no stick ons but that's all if it's your thing or not. for me personally, no.

I really likes the looks of the C/S. They're pretty unique and rare.

yea same here, never even looked at a rs2, I would be surprised if they are the same price used? as people are right the CS is just cosmetic improvements, where the rs2 is engine improvements

The CS has a badass interior. That Alcantara is really a nice material. Better than any other interiors including an upgraded Roush one. Roush cars seem way overpriced. You could throw a Sup exchanger and an upgraded suspension on a GT for substantially less money.

Totally forgot about the different interior :headbonk:, that is also one of my favorite things!

I think the OP assumed they would cost about the same...just sayin' not apples to apples.

This exactly.

The two are not even close in comparsion. You want a car with more performance, or do you want a slightly more unique car with better ride quality and aesthetics?

Looking for more of the latter Jay. I think a CS is in my future. Now to decide on magnetic or oxford white.

Well I'm kinda biased to magnetic C/S;)

Oxford White FTW. :cheers:

If I was in your situation, I'd go RS2. Overall, the upgrades on it are cooler than what's on the CS, IMO. If it has the optional quad exhaust, then it's a no brainer.

What is the RS2 everyone is talking about here? I know there is a 6 cylinder version Roush for close to 35k (RS model I think), but what is the Roush 2 V8 model that's close to 35k?

Just a note about the RS2: for 17 they come standard with the coil over suspension, but the exhaust is optional. The core stage package components change a bit each MY, so I would ask to see the Roush sticker/build sheet for the car you are looking at to see what options it actually has. Also, the PP package is not a given on the base build (it's not on a stage 3 either). None of this is meant as a deterrent - just be sure of what you are getting!

Listen to him ^

Since it is used, if the dealership isn't very familiar with the model they may incorrectly tell you what is actually included in the package
