Default Rousch 'stang

I was at my softball game last night and a fellow ball player has a Rousch mustang. He was talking how he could take my vette. I just looked at him and smiled. I got a CAI, stat , exhaust and a tune. Also, to add to insult, another team member said his 08 civic si (looks good as a dd) said he will give me and my friend a run for our money. We are trying to settle this in a few weeks during the midnight mayhem at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

If the civic has an interfooler, a huge wing, bodykit, and air freshners, I would be scared.

I used to work with a guy who's son has a New Body Stage II Roush. He came by with it one day, and we were talking and his Dad mentioned I had a Vette. He said," Oh ya this thing will run down a vette no problem." Then he asked," Is it a Z06?" I said yes, he says," Oh well maybe not then." Damn straight!!!

I don't care who wins the damn race. Hell, I'm impressed that someone is playing softball in February. As a side note, they're predicting up to 20" of snow for portions of northern Illinois tonight.

i dont know about a civic but my boys srt4 took me on the interstate the other day. we both dropped down to bout 50mph. at first it was dead even, then he slowly pulled off. we had to stop just past 75mph, we hit traffic. Mines all stock, and hes went mod crazy with his. but its still pretty fast for a neon.

Yup. You read it right. First game of the season. We play double headers and we split. Our season starts early Februaury and ends in November usually the monday before Turkey Day. I was the only idiot wearing shorts (use to live in Chicago) as the temp did drop in the low 40's. BTW, the civic was fresh off the dealer and he added neon license plates (+10 hp). Dinner is on the line. Fastest 1/4.
