[QUOTE="Real98roush, post: 15074331, member: 154990"] Been browsing the forums for quite some time but don't recall if I've ever introduced myself. My friends call me Bobby D. Live in Las Vegas. I've bought a few Mustangs in the past few years. Let me fill you in on my SN95 Rollercoaster. My dad bought an auto 96 GT a few years ago. She was a dog(Not sure if I have a pic but I'll look). White with a white-ish ratted out convertible top, blue pin stripes, & stars. The car ran good but looked terrible. Over a year & a half we cleaned it up. Changed headlights, lowered, chin spoiler, new bullitt style wheels, black top, & a couple other things. I ended up purchasing the car from him. [ATTACH]53677.vB[/ATTACH] A week after I bought the 96 GT i found a 98 Roush Stage 2. Never seen one before and couldn't resist so I bought it & sold the 96 GT back to my dad. [ATTACH]53678.vB[/ATTACH] Installed Comp 270 cams, high flow cats, Magnapacks, CAI, PI intake, C&L plenum, Accufab TB, & had tuned by Shelby LV 270 rwhp in 100+ degree July heat. Painted the car pearl white & plasti-dipped the wheels. (I've regretted painting the car & have plans to go back to the original silver.) [ATTACH]53681.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]53685.vB[/ATTACH] The car is a blast to drive & sounds great, however, it's not fast enough (bet you never heard that before :evilstare: ).

I've never seen another 98 Roush in person or on any forum recently. I'm not sure how many are still around so I decided to leave mine alone.
