Truthfully I go through cars 1 month slower than you and I am about to go see what kind of deal the dealer can get me as soon as my wife will hurry up.1990StangLX said:you go through cars faster than me
but DO IT!! lol those Roush's are collectors items..
I checked it out but talked myself out of it mostly because of the fact that I picked up 30HP w/ my exhuast mods, giving me like 340 flywheel. Not to mention that I probably added another 20HP by means of various other mods. I'd dare say my car has 360HP. But I did a stock comparison. 310HP 4V N/A stock vs. 360HP 2V S/C. I will get way more than 50HP out of my car when I S/C it so I opted to keep the Mach.FallenPhoenix said:It's the DOHC 4v in the Mach, the new GT will get a version of the 3v V8. That's a tough choice, the 360R has tons of wow factor and is a great collectors item. On the other hand, I don't want to say it's a maxed out engine, but you've got a lot more headroom with the 4v motor. I'd enjoy the hell out of the Roush though

The Roush 360R is not putting 360HP to the rear wheels. That's flywheel HP, just like the Mach's 310 flywheel HP. & also, if you take a basic 281 ci 2V & set it next to a 281 ci 4V & do the same mods to each engine, the 4V will be the one w/ more HP and more torque, & better breathing capabilities. It is true that the 360R is a somewhat optimized version of a 4.6L 2V, S/C. & w/ only 50 less HP stock, imo I'd say that the Mach is a pretty optimized N/A car. W/ 4 valves per cylinder, the potential's limitless. The 360R doesn't come w/ subframe connectors. I know those suck anyway since they're only bolt-on but the Mach does have them, at least. The only downside to S/Cing the Mach is that it doesn't have forged internals. So after I blow my engine, I'll be dropping a Cobra motor or a 5.0 Cammer Engine in it, though I'd like to keep the shaker functional. Bottom line & sorry for all the wind is that both cars are tight but I think I'll let someone else have the Roush.BLK_ROUSH said:Agreed.
Now the 360R is pushing closer to 360 to the wheels. The Mach's 4V has more potential but is all you're doing are exhaust and intake mods ... the 2V has got ya beat.
Tough choice .. both are hot cars.
