Default roush fpv gt...what would it be like?
hey i was watching this tv series of rides today and they did a bit of a tribute on jack roush....for those who dont know who he is he is a customizer who has worked for ford for 40 plus years. anyway he loves the mustang and he does them up from stock and releases them to the public...now that got me thinking. what if he did up a fpv gt. what does everyone think of this and do you think it would be possible to ever ship over a gt and have his company work on it? id really love to see the outcome of him getting his hands on one. maybe someone can do a photo chop and add specs if they are in the mood to...cheers everyone

Alot of the guys on the mustang forums use his supercharger kits with good results - since the mustangs engines are similar to the ones we use I would guess that it would not take much to get one of the kits to bolt up to the Aussie engines.

I'd proudly enter my XR8 into that show if he did an Australia Tour!

Chip Foose is a unbeliveable with what he can design and just draw off the top of his head.

Have you seen him do those sketches upside down? The man is amazing.

I purchased a couple of his sketches and have them hanging on the wall.

Once saw him air brush true flames like Mike Lavelle.

get a load of this beast

The ROUSH 500RC Ford F-150

The ROUSH 500RC Ford F-150 is a high-performance road runner. Complete with the ROUSHchargerTM, the 500RC puts a ground-pounding 445 horsepower/500 lb.-ft of torque to the street. Additional ROUSH treatments include a dual rear exit high-performance exhaust system, 20-inch chrome wheels and tires, and a billet aluminum grille. Completing the styling and proving the heritage of the truck is the unique ROUSH 500RC fender and tailgate badging, the side stripe kit, and the serial badge in the engine compartment. Born from Roush Racing’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck program, the ROUSH 500RC is a perfect example of what comes between a race truck and a regular truck – a ROUSH truck.
