Lets be fair about this. The vet that he could be neck and neck with could be a 1982 Crossfire Corvette. (They where rated at 200HP)

I would imagine even that Vette would be a handful for a CC na ford pick up.

The engine is built by Roush." "Oh" I say, "Is it quick?" "well, before the supercharger its neck and neck with a vette, with the supercharger I can barely keep it under control"
Are these things even supercharged?? It said Stage 1 on the emblem. This is the second one Ive seen in 2 days. Id like to get beside one.
That guy has no clue what's really under the hood,he'll never race the truck or add any mods to it.He'll just be a real dick and brag about what he's driving and he'll trade it in about a year with low milage amd in as new condition.

Yea, 200HP before the cam lobes went flat, LOL! (pretty common on the cross-fire engines if I remember correctly)

My bad. I got the numbers backwards. I read the article awhile back when I was at MTI. It was indeed a dog and an expensive one at that.

I would have told that bitch to pop the hood after even mentioning the vette! Just to keep him honest!

Roush 2005 S/C F150 are still dogs. The older generation SVT S/C F150 lightning KILLS it. Roush had many developmetnal issues with this truck before release.
