2009 ROUSH RS3/C Edition Prototype

[Scarface]

Roush DOES have an exclusivity plan! They quit making replacement parts for their cars around 3-4 years old

, so there's exclusivity after all at Roush.

JMO though...it don't count for much

Walter I definitely gotta keep you on file if that's how you feel about them.

It's obvious that none of you collect Hot Wheels

Yes we should get them straight

2008 Roush Mustang Production Numbers

The Hillbank edition was not a "official ROUSH" car.. so we can scratch that

Doesn't look like the Roush V6 ever made it into production BUT they TRIED to and if the dealers would have ordered them they would have built them.

Speedster SC Coupe... they made "1" unless the production numbers given to Sam was incorrect or he posted incorrectly.

Cooper Roush looks like a done deal unless they change their minds because Sam has said "The RS3/C is said to become available sometime around November or December. The exact number to be built, available colors, and standard equipment has not been nailed down yet but we will find out soon enough."

dont forget the Touring Coupe(TC)

[nashvillenobody]

Not a big fan of it like most of you. Probably the rear wing and it should still have a stripe on top if you ask me... looks too plain without it and having one on the side...

Here's the real RS3. At least the people at Roush aimed high for in the copycat dept., even down to the lettering style.

DAMN TOM... you busted Roush... the graphics pretty much look like the GT3...hhahahaha... the font is so similar to the Porsche. NOW that is a RS3 I would own.

"Porsche has revealed more details about the forthcoming 911 GT3 RS.

As in the GT3, the road-legal racer's 3.6-litre boxer engine generates 415bhp at 7,600 rpm with the redline at 8,400rpm, bringing the power output per litre of engine capacity to a highly impressive 115.3bhp.

But the RS is faster because of its close-ratio six-speed transmission with a single-mass flywheel and lower overall weight, the engine revs up even more freely.

This enables the 911 GT3 to sprint from zero to 62mph per hour in 4.2 seconds -- one-tenth of a second faster than the GT3. It takes 13.3 seconds to hit to 125mph (200kph). Maximum speed is 193.75mph.

It features ceramic brakes (PCCB) as standard, uses the same wide body as Carrera 4 / 4S but with a different rear wing.

It'll be 20Kg lighter than GT3 at 1,375Kg, thanks to the use of an adjustable carbon fibre wing, a plastic rear lid and a lightweight plastic rear window.

The GT3 RS will carry a price tag of about £94,000, some £14,000 more than the GT3."

The Roush looks like absolute shit....The Porsche on the other hand looks like a work of art!

Seems to me like Roush got out of hand with the new 05+ stangs...I liked it when it was 1, 2, 3, 360....

Hmm, upon further investigation it looks like 1 speedster coupe was produced , however the speedster was suppose to be a convertible package.

Don't forget about the MAC SE package, the LC packages, and the RTC Mustang

Any way you cut it, the Roush brand is low volume compared to the amount of Mustangs in general out there. Everyone has different taste, and companies have to get creative with what they have to work with during these slow economic times. Can't wait till 2010 though, I bet there will be some cool things now that the Camaro and Challenger are back in the game. HP war anyone?

Fixed it for ya

I wasnt talking about all the way up to 04...I meant up to 02

[Shay]

Scarface, you nailed it. Oopers I thought I had seen this before. I in fact mentioned to some people at the thing that I was going to have to Google image search the Porsche GT3, but you got to it first

Gotcha, I figured you meant up to 04 when you said it got out of hand with the 05+ cars. Same thing thing though, 04 was the last body style before 05 and a number of packages came out before the body style change. I wonder if there is a trend here???

[Perferd]

Yeah after reading it your assumption makes sense...Anyways I and I think many others would be happy with just a few options not a million different cars...

Don't the people at Roush have more creativity than that? The P51 is pretty cool but needs to have more than 510HP.. the Saleen Extreme has 620HP.

The P51 does, it is actually 510 at the wheels, ask JDM, that equates to 570hp!

OHH I know the P51 has more potential than what it came with BUT Roush should have shipped it that way and you shouldn't have had to rely on JDM to make it better... ALL THOUGH.. Jim and the boys at JDM kick ass!

Its official known as the GT3 RS but in the Porsche circle, people refer to it as the RS3. Its a lot prettier to look at and its THE only street Porsche that can beat the Nissan GTR.
