This is America and if someone has the money and wants to put a Stick in their 100K GT500, hey, go for it.
It's about options and it's cool that somebody is offering this.
Would I do it if I had a new GT500? No, but some people do want, so Bingo!
I am very happy with my 6R80 in my 2017 Roush...
There just is no right or wrong answer as a person will buy what they want and that they do have a choice, is great.
Don't really matter which is faster as at the end of the day, do what makes you happy.
This is interesting.
Do you guys have any plans on doing a TB for the older 2.3 TVS Roush in a twin 65mm, 67mm?
There are a lot of these out there and I am still running my stock 60mm twin on my 2017 Roush RS3 and have thought of going bigger on the TB.
Thanks.
Tucaz520,
Sorry for what you have been going thru.
I would not have the patients and by now would probably driven the Car to Roush and blocked there main door and say, Here, you fix this. It's your doing. You charge $85,000 and for this???
That's what I really liked about my 2013 Shelby GT500, is that huge Heat Extractor in the hood for the hot air from the radiator, etc., could exit via the huge heat extractor.
The 2017 Roush has the two heat extractors, but the holes in them are only about 1", which is not doing anything.
I...
So, I know there are threads about Hood Scoops and such, but
every time I look at my 17 RS3 Hood Scoop, I think, if a person cut the front out of that, it's about an 1" gap across the front and then cut under the Scoop into the hood, it would be functional.
But, I have never acted on this as...
LOL,
I know they were thinking, Wow, how could he sell that car. Sometimes you can be blinded by the money, but money is Not everything.
That Car is special as it is like 1 of 2 on the Roush list, I think. It's been several months since I looked at it.
I wish you success as I sold my 2017 RS3 4 months ago and then bought it back as in my post a few back in this thread.
I really does hurt to see them go.
I had this happen in my old 93 Chevy C1500 Truck. Was driving to the Gym and the back glass just Popped with a loud POP.
Did kind a surprised me. I didn't know if someone was shooting or what.
It was a 100 degree day, so that could of had some effect.
Just weird when it happens and the why!
Just an FYI. If you really like the car, don't do what I did 4 months ago.
I got a incredible offer of my 2017 Roush RS3, in my Avatar , and thought I was doing the right thing. Take all the money and run.
Turns out, the first night, I laid in bed and all I could think about was that Car.

The CF drive shaft.
When I had my 2013 Shelby GT500, I was always worried about that. And I worried about the age and if it would degrade over time, but I have since traded that car, so not a worry any more.
Roush needs to step it up and should have sent one of their guys when this first started and not waited months later.
Even if it cost them $20K, that is their issue. Reputation is easy to lose and hard to get back.
Big question is how many others are out there like this and are not on this web...
