Saw one sick Mustang today!

I was getting gas out in Brentwood (Bay Area) and saw this spectacular yellow 'stang pull in. Custom front to back, very tastefull. I started checking the custom brakes and noticed the name "Raush". I got to talking to the guy, and he said the company does complete makeovers, top to bottom. Nothing stock on the car (his leather seats had nice yellow trim that matched the great bodywork!) Anyway, he popped the hood and had this roots blower sitting on the engine. Very clean install. I'm not a pony man myself, but I was drooling on his puppy!

Must have been a Jack Roush Mustang....those are kind of like the SMX maxima, tuner company that soups up the car. My buddy has a 95 Mustang with a 391 engine, 6spd manual, roush body kit, custom side pipes, and a racing suspension that will pull 2gs on the skidpad.

Brentwood!

I used to work in Concord and may have seen this guy in Oakley. It's nice to imagine that a FORD that's fixed up would be worth the trouble. "Fixed Or Repaired Daily" is what I say. I'll take him the the track and run with him a few times. It will probably be the second run were something breaks on his car. That's why I bought a Maxima, not a domestic. My maxima has NOT been recalled. 38,000 miles and still lights 'em up. Just wanted to through in a few cheap shots.......He'd probably smoke my a$$ like a turkey.

What are you laughing at? I have seen the Mustang and it is for real. The car has a full custom made racing suspension with all the necessary chassis bracings.

A Formula 1 race car pulls 1.5-1.6g skidpad. Are you telling me this Mustang had a better suspension than that?

A Formula 1 car can pull upto 4.5 Gs.

But yes, 2Gs is impossible for a street car.

Re: Saw one sick Mustang today!

The Jack Roush stage 3 Mustang pulls a bit over 1g on the skidpad. I'd take one! Read here: http://www.autorevista.com/articles/01roush.htm
