I personally don't think the drilled and slotted rotrs stop any better, or really don't know if they run any cooler temps. I personally bought them for looks alone. I also know thats why they were put on Matt's old Red Cobra.

The Roush is an 02 I believe. It's actually a Roush Classic (#49 of 50) Basicly, it's a 380R without the stripes. Mike, the owner decided to give the stripes a shot and likes them, so he left them on. I don;t think you can get those color stripes from Roush direct.

i couldnt tell what color they were from the reflection in your gorgeous paint but the front end looked like a Roush.

i am with ya on the rotors, they do look bad ass behind the wheels. (and i have actually seen some drilled rotors crack from heat and warp worse then solid ones, but its all a matter of opinions on that)

what all do you have on the agenda for mods? gonna go suspension first, or powaaa! ?

Hey Steve, nice meeting you, kickass car..

the pics def. dont do the paint justice! The wheels fit the body style perfectly imo, and the tires look sick.. I'm suprised the stock brakes(size) fill up the wheel so well! must stop good..

I am pretty much done with exterior mods. The way the car is now is kinda the style I like. Lowered, wheels, and keep it clean!!! No vinyl graphics for me. I would also like to tint the windows. Next, I'll probably just put some exhaust on it and keep riding it. I go back and forth between changing the blower or not, We'll see I guess. Got a lot of other things going on right now and its nice not to have to work on something.

cmon man...twinscrew it!




although, vortec does make a sheetmetal intake for that engine now...and a nice centrifugal that works on it

but i have seen a few guys make damn good power out of the stock blower, tho.


what kind of exhaust? Bassani? SLP? Borla? i have heard all but the SLP on a Cobra...and love both of them.

Thinking about the Magnaflow catback. I will probably keep some type of catalytic convertors on it whatever I do.
