S550 Roush Mustang

[Folgrim21]

Sooooo much better in blue. All the front aero can now be seen. This will look bad ass in magnetic. I do however wish that it was just a larger cowl on the hood not a scoop. Some type of anthracite torque thrust knock offs would look good too

Meh... I want to like it but it's WAY to busy in the front...over the top aggressive, looks like a transformer in the middle of transforming.

it is extremely comical to me that the majority on here would say that they dont like the roush because of the "tacky"ness of it. however, on Roushes facebook page, as well as a lot of other groups on social media....state that the roush is how every mustang should look from the factory and finally looks "mustang" like.

Because they tacked on a bunch of stuff that has been on previous mustang body styles. I will admit it does look better in blue now that somethings are better defined, but overall i personally think it takes away from the elegance of the S550.

Out of this forum, i bet we are only 20% of the mustang buying community, if that. So therefor the later 80% feel that it looks good and will be purchasing it. I assume that is why...oh...idk, roush is worth over 200 million. I assume they do something right for people to buy.

All those nonfunctional body pieces just looks tacky, they make the car look a bit ricey. I think the car would have look just as amazing without all those tacked-on plastic pieces. Like another person said before: "make it functional or make it gone!"

No one has answered or mentioned it.

DID ANYONE NOTICE THE SLOTTED ROTORS?

This.

Actually the rear diffuser, exhaust, wheels, look amazing.

The spoiler is perfect and the rousch badge is very well designed. The side vents on the hood are nice looking. And the understated taillight bar is a nice touch.

But... The s196 style grill... No. The fogs moved from a modern and effective place,ent to inside... No. The cheapo lower grill... No. The glued on fake side vents? Heck no. :tsk:nth fake hood scoop? No.

Good thing then that this puppy is going to put out over 675hp. Because this car is going to be more about going fast reliably than looks. Though it does okay there too. Still wish they'd done something different in the front But that's ok. not many will be viewing the front on the road anyway.

And those same people are the ones who probably dislike the "modern" aesthetic design of the 2015 who refuse to let go of the old school out dated styling.

i do agree with this

 

[Lagometer]

Definitely agree, and to me that means no big spoiler, no chrome 20" wheels, no fake scoops, and fewer than 326 vents, gills, and/or grilles.

This.

 

[likeaboss]

I will say that I do like the heat extractor vents on the hood. Much better looking than stock.

Anyone that makes a remark about someone taste and how they personalize their car is the one with the low IQ.

People buy the car for performance.

Looks are secondary.

Tacking on non functional extra bits is never a good design move.

Then removing the advancements in design and oldifying it is a backwards step.

And plain ol' round fogs moved closer In the center? Really?

It's a fairly poor design theme. It doesn't mean it's a bad car. Will likely be great. But it won't look that great.

It may satisfy rousch fans. But it won't win over any critical acclaim. And likely will struggle making new fans. In the looks department anyway.

I call Bulllllll... I want one person here to tell me if they released a 400hp mustang that looked exactly like mustang II they'd buy it. I bet you I'd go team Camaro or Vette. Looks are priority then performance like white on rice behind it.

Have to say I usually do not like some of Roush products, but I like this one. I like the hood with the vents in it....Not so sure on the fake hood scoop, but in some cases, with the right people, those can be made "functional" very easily.

Sid scoop ? Well on some cars it looks good, on others well maybe not. But here is the thing....the same way you can put them on, you can take them off. So you want a Roush and no side scoops ? Have them taken off. Case solved !

Overall not bad...not bad at all.

 

[TexArmageddon]

... that front bumper is hideous.. especially the housing for the lower fog lights..


I've normally been a fan of saleen kits, but I don't know if I'll like this years.

Yes nice catch.

Don't like the side scoops it take away from the car but if they added rear brake ducts then maybe...
