black03zr5 Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 On motorweek this week they test drove a Rousch stage 3 with a 1/4 mile time of 15.9 @ 88MPH and a 0-60 of 7.5. This can be had for $50k. I am pretty sure that my SS could walk all over this to begin with and it is stock, let alone if I invest the 15k difference that I saved I am pretty sure I could literally blow the doors off this thing.

ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 but the f350 is like 6300 pounds depending on whih model you get CC, reg or ext. It takes a lot more to get those things moving faster. What does the roush package include? Was the truck triton v8, v10 or a powerstroke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a V-8 F-150 that is why this is so sad. The stage 3 package includes: supsension package, lowering kit, spoiler, ground effects, hood bumper, exhaust, super charger, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan06SS Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Someone posted the link to these a couple of weeks ago. Rousch Performance is a joke the stage 1, 2, & 3 kits include NO performance upgrades other than suspension and an exhaust... the rest of your $11,000 is for a body kit, rims, and tires .... and people make fun of the SS costing $40k? Heres the previous thread on it: Rousch Performance f150s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres the previous thread on it: Rousch Performance f150s <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The stage 3 kit does include a supercharger. I didn't see the stage 3 kit on their site, but the stage 3 2x4 they had on motorweek was supercharged. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 sorry for some reason i read f350 But those figures aren't too bad for a 5.4 but i still think its a bit pricey. They charge too much for the decals and rims and body kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lightning guys are gonna be hurting on this one $10k more than an SS and none of the performance.... OUCH! I can't wait to see one of these on the road and hand him his ass!

So perhaps what I saw at C&D was a Stage 3; either way they need to do a serious re-evaluation or put that F-150 on a diet (Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it appears to be a dog). I also mentioned I'd try to get one to play, if I have the opportunity - now I'm realy looking forward to it! Of course w/ Roush backing the Nextel Cup winner (that's another story), maybe they should put a few more $$ into the performance, instead of charging a ridiculous price for boy racer add-ons . . .

Question about Rousch, I thought their Mustangs were fast. I remember seeing one run at Centerville, don't remember the time but it was impressive.

Dylan06SS Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 A neighbor of mine has a Roush mustang and it isn't all that fast... definitely not as fast as a cobra, i think its barely faster than a stock GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davechevyss Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 i have seen the same thing with roush, you would think a roush mustang would be faster than a cobra and those trucks are too overpriced and way under preforming........................

ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I agree Roush mustangs are pretty slow, but I wouldn't say that about the saleen stangs, but they are too $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
