As my 2000 Stage 2 Roush sat quietly in the garage, I heard a loud bang. I

ran out to the garage to find $10,000 sitting in the front seat of my precious

car. This could only mean one thing, but that she wanted upgrades and now!

Endless thoughts began running through my head on what to buy. Go fast

parts or show parts? I couldn’t decide. I decided to sleep on it. The next

morning, I woke up to find the hood mysteriously popped up. Right then I

knew I must add something under the hood, but what? I searched high and

low until I found just the perfect idea. A supercharger to make her go faster

than she already was, but after looking there are so many choices, gee which

one to choose? After many hours of deliberation, I went with the Kenne Bell

2.2. But wait, with this addition I am required to add a bigger hood for

clearance issues. Finally, my chance to get that cobra r hood that many

other Roush owners have, that I have admired for quite some time! Since I

knew the hood was going to have to go to the paint shop, I decided to also

buy a stage 3 front bumper and add that too! With those incredible mods, I

have already spent upwards to $7300. But WOW what a difference in the car!

As I was driving down the road, I noticed that my car even with those

additions was still quiet. So of course, I knew I needed a new exhaust

system. I ordered a Bassani X pipe and a set of brand new spintech mufflers.

At first I was kind of leery, but holy cow after the install, I couldn’t believe

the aggressive tone my car had! With not a lot of money remaining, I decided

to fork the rest over on a short throw shifter and just enjoy my car. It is

amazing how much money you can spend so quickly, but that is what I would

do if I had $10,000 dollars for my Roush!

As I took ownership of my 2007 Stage 3 Roush I blew out of the

dealership like a Pop Tart out of a toaster. Once I made it to the open road I

decided to see what she would do, but alas my phone started ringing before I

could get on it. So being the safe driver that I am I kept the car under

ninety as I answered my phone. To my shock it was the dealership asking me

to come back for a surprise. Reluctantly I turned the car around and drove

back only to find all the salesmen waiting on me out front. To my surprise

they said I was the one hundredth customer of the month and they decided

to give me $10,000 worth of upgrades right there on the spot.

Since I am such a big fan of the fnsweet.com forums I already knew

what to have done. I started with the mild modifications such as body

colored side mirrors, sequential taillights, and tinted windows. Once the mild

outside modifications were complete I wondered what to do next. That’s

when it dawned on me that this car needed some performance

enhancements. As luck would have it Jack Roush heard about this contest

and sent the prototype Cold Air Intake for the Stage 3 and a smaller Roush

pulley for the supercharger to the dealership for them to install.

Just one more performance enhancement was left, NOS. They just so

happened to have a technician on sight that could assist me with this. They

installed the ZEX Nitrous System complete with along with the tuning jets.

This gave me just enough power to blow away the competition when needed

but still easy to keep on the road.

While I was adding all this up on I realized I still had a few bucks to

spare so I sprang for an in-dash DVD player to watch my favorite movies on

while sitting in traffic. All this for under 10 grand with enough change left

over for Jack and I to climb in and head down the road to grab a bite to eat

while he told me how much he really envied my car.

I may not qualify...but it was fun.....I know, I know...you are all thinking this guy missed his calling..yeah, well when my ship came in I was at the train station!..




Here in the Midwest, during winter, when the snow is aloft.
We’ve nothing to do but shiver, and freeze, our lug nuts off.

So the question becomes what would one do with 10k of mods?
Oh my I need some advice, and nowhere better than the fnsweet Gods.

So I post my question and hope for the best.
And sure enough somebody pops back “surely you jest”!

So a bad question I posted, I’ll ask for forgiveness this weekend in Church.
Out of the blue comes Roushinator... “hey, try a search”

Tires, rims, tint, and so much more.
If I ask all these questions I’ll be the new post whore!

I’ve got a good start and just need more, to fill in the blanks I’ll do a web surf.
Holy smokes…did you know you could mod your car to look like a smurf?

So here is where I decided to spend my loot.
Thank God it was free or my wife would give me the boot!

Ok Mod God… I want to ‘doll’ my mirrors with new covers.
I am really hot on cervini..is that ok with all you Roush lovers?

I like tinted windows but here in Illinois they’ll get you tickets.
Some new rims would be nice, how about some Bullits?

A new pulley, a tune and a sweet new CAI.
Surely there is more what else could I buy?

I have an idea, I know what we can do…let’s do this….
Let’s ensure next year a needy child’s Christmas is not a miss!

I love to drive my car, mile after mile...
But there is nothing better than a Christmas morning and a childs happy smile.

There once was a Yellow Roush, who wanted lots of speed, a blower and some Nitrous is all he thought he’d need.


Skin some snakes in the snake pit, that’s all he wanted to do, but alas, he had hit the limit, on what his car could do ….


Or so he thought.


That night he got down on his knees, and prayed to god above.
“God, send the answer to my problem, if anyone knows power – you would”.


With that our sleepy hero, laid down his weary head, 600 horses running through his mind, he tossed and turned in bed.


The next morning our hero awoke, to a bright sunny day, Ten thousand dollars on the hood, you’re kidding…no way.


The money had a note, surprising him not in the least, the answer lies in the snake pit, look for the heart of the beast.


When it comes to power, our hero knew just what to do, He needs to swap to 4 valves and just ditch the little 2.


With all that power and horses, under the hood so you couldn't see, but still he need more, to go ripping up the street.


Some nitrous from American Muscle, and a chip for the tune, he would be ready for the snake pit, the challenge was coming soon!


Some bling parts to top it off, his ride was looking fast, but when it came time to hit the line, he was ready to kick some ass.


Our hero skinned the snakes just like he’d always hoped… he looked to the pits and there the silly Cobras moped.


AM’s vast selection, of parts gave him a boost, and when the green light flashed…. He knew he could not lose.


Like the crack of the whip, he let the horses fly, so when he crossed the finish line, he knew he could not deny…


When you have to battle snakes, from then on he’d rely, American Muscle had his back and that there… was no lie.

In the Land Of Not, I can only hope I have a slight shot.

With Ten grand ..I would have got...

New Roush seats that my ride came without.

Not easy to find but with nine grand they would be mine.

Spending thats, I would have got a box of AmericanMuscle.com hats

Perhaps I would buy a new plate frame to celebrate my new found fame.

With wisdom inside of me, I would invite her and the family out to see

Yosemite.

With room and board, it could be something easy as be. Keys in hand

speeding off into Yosemite.

I would speak highly of one Emilie for all she had to done for me.

But as you see, she chose another ... it was a brother

[JZPD]

I heard the doorbell ring and wondered who it could be. It was UPS with a mystery box

that was addressed to me. I opened her up to find what was inside, to my surprise it

was $10,000 dollars to mod my ride! Many ideals raced through my head, but my first

thought was I needed some new tread. With some new tires on the way, I decided a

brand new Cobra R hood and a stage 3 front bumper would make my day! With the

exterior finally complete, I decided I needed some parts that would help me compete.

A new set of gears from American Muscle would help me do just that, along with my new short throw shifter

that came with a free Roush hat. As I was driving along on the highway, I just knew

something was missing and I figured it out as a Cobra flew by me whistling. I knew

that a supercharger had to be mine. I too wanted to enjoy that beautiful sound of the

whine. So when my whipple arrived I bolted her up and was on my way, man did she

sound mean! But as I looked over at my gauges much to my dismay, she was running

quite lean. I took her to a tuner in town to get her just right. Man, after $10,000

dollars of mods, me and her had one hell of a time cruising the streets that night! Now

that the Roush is finally done, I can finally set back and have lots of fun.

[AMNick]

Just about 12 and a half hours left in the contest! Great job so far! Do we have anymore challengers?

[javsvt]

This morning I go out for my normal jog, you know, got to keep myself in

shape, cause the beauty sleep isnt working. I see a poodle wondering the

street, I call the dog over, but the dog gave a conceited look as poodles

would. So I finally grab a hold of the collar, found out it belonged to Jack

Roush. I was so excited, I could not control myself. So I put sheets all over

the inside of my roush, dont want the dog to ruin my leather, and drive her

over. Ring the buzzer and Jack comes out with a grin on his face. He thanks

me and gives me a tour of his collection, and what a collection it is. He signs

my car, and hands me a envelope with a check for $10,000. I could not

believe my eyes! He says anytime I am in the neighborhood to stop by, I told

him "You shouldnt have said that". He laughed, and I drove off. Now with the

money, its "Go" time. Time to make a call to American Muscle and order my

upgrades. I wanted my car as loud as a one of Roushes race cars. So I

changed the headers over to long tubes, did a midpipe swap, and muffler

swap. Then I went with with a supercharger upgrade, thats right WHIPPLE

baby. Made my car Whine more than before! When I was done I stopped back

at Jacks house and let him drive it. His words " I shouldve had you build my

cars".
