Traded the 8.

Well guys I am sorry to say that I have traded the Rx8 for a Roush Mustang.

I appreciate all the help you all have given me.

What does the Roush have that the Cobra doesn't?

What does the Roush have that the Cobra doesn't?

May I asked why? And aren't you going to miss your RX-8?

What was the deciding factor peer group or self determination?

Which one is the hottest the Cobra or the Roush? You going to get trashed for announcing that decision!!

Whats the Roush 0-60 time? Later I'm ducking and staying low!!

It's basically a $16k upgrade to the 4.6L Mustang that will make the price close to the GT500, but no where near the performance.

Whatever floats your boat. Enjoy your truckish motor, truckish mirrors, low rent interior and useless backseat and of course soul-less car.

Of all the mustangs, the Roush is the one I would take too. It is far more balanced and lighter than a GT500. Which version did you get? Stage 1, 2, or 3?

It is a good looking car too. Post some pics and ignore the rest in here! I like all fun cars. I think the Roush constitutes fun, just a different kind.

On a side note, with only 16 posts, what exactly is the point of posting and telling anyone anyway. Not like you were very involved here.

Nice, I previously had 2 different mustangs and I enjoyed them both. I even plan on getting a 95 Cobra when my 8 is paid off so I have both of my favorite cars. Anyways, have fun with your new car !

yea... i love the car....
I would have kept the 8 if it hadnt gave me as much trouble as it did. I love the rx8, thats no lie, but my warrenty was about to run out and I just didnt feel like paying to fix it 500 times. The mustang I shouldnt have to do that with. I just posted to tell everyone that did help me thanks. I didnt mean to make anyone mad... but anyways... if anyone wants to race im up for it.. lol

remember not to drive the stang like how you drove your rx8 around corners. from a multi-link suspension to a solid live rear axle with more power to the rear wheels, just watch out. it happened to me 3 days ago in my friend's stang gt. took the corner in the stang, next thing you know, im facing the oncomming traffic. i usually take that turn 5-8 miles faster in my 8 with no problem. you sure are getting a way better dragster car though. point, aim, and shoot. congrats.

haha you guys are hilarious. you guys totally remind me of the civic fan boi's who only line of defense for driving something embarassing is slow is "atleast i can corner". Sure, a true sports car has the balanced characteristics of power and handling. The mustang isn't exactly know to be a good handling car, but neither is the Rx8 known for power so go ahead continue throwing them insults!
