Default thinking about trading in the mustang

for a Roush 427
what do you guys think, right now it's just a thought doing a little research on it as far as returning some of my GT back to stock (as far as I can) so I can add to the Roush.

Any and all opinions are appreciated.

As I clicked on the thread I had visions that you were going to say you were trading for a Challenger

the Roush 427 is the best aftermarket S197 IMO They are just so quick too. don't have the best numbers, but they are still the fastest because they handle like champs.

The Roush looks awesome, especially the vert. I went to the dealer tonight to trade up to a GT500 or a Bullitt. (I really want a manual transmission). The thieves only wanted to give me $14K for my car, and it's in mint condition w/low miles. I got an offer of $23K from private party, I still think I'm being short changed. Maybe I should just Roush my car out & call it a day ?

I'm not overly fond of getting a pre-modded car, so maybe I'm not the one to ask. I like to put my own touch on it; makes me feel like it's "mine".

With that said, returning your car to stock shouldn't be too much of a hassle, and you can probably sell a couple of those mods. Will the spray void the warranty on the S/C, or are you even concerned about the warranty?

why not just throw a roush body kit on your GT and get a nice turbo or blower? the 427s are awesome cars, but your GT is still a fast car

The Roush is one nice ride. If I only could afford it. If you got it go for it, with the limited production you can't go wrong.

If I do decide to trade it I probably would sell the Nitrous kit, mostly concerned about suspension, driveshaft, other mods.
of course I know some will not work with the supercharger though.
