I'll admit, I didnt believe some of the stories I read on here about the total idiots some of you have run into. Im now a certified believer.

The supercharged Roush was on Trucks only ran mid 15's. THat was with a Vortech supercharger truely turds. It showed a camera view in the truck of acceleration and is was nothing.

The Roush vehicles usually have decent appearance mods but the performance has always been lacking and the price is just plain stupid! When i was a Mustang guy they were the biggest joke. A Stage3 Roush would cost just as much as an S351 Saleen or an S281s and the Saleen would use the Roush as a mop at the track.

the guy sounds like a fool but as far as I know you CAN get an entire engine package from roush. Not a stage anything, just the engine itself, which he would've then had to swap into the truck. But I didnt think you could get one supercharged from them. I dunno.

Well back in late 90's true. The S351 had forged internals so it could put down some nice hp for about 70k. Not that they made very many anyway. Roush was just comming out. Now it's pretty even. The S281 E has like 450bhp but it will run you 65k. The S281 S/C has 375bhp to the 03-04 Roush S/C 380bhp.
