You know I am real impressed with the new engine packages and offerings, from ford and chevy. Gives builders a nice choice, for powering their restorations, or modified cars.

Our car club recently hosted a "roush night" at a local ford dealership. There were the top offerings there from roush, including "the hammer", the new boss 302 etc etc.

I didn't want to leave my car on the street, so I parked in a no-parking lane, in front of their service centre (away from the test cars.) The body shop manager came out, and we chatted for quite a while. He commented that is was interesting that all these people who came to test drive the roush's etc. were losing their place in the queue, to come over and look at my car.
I asked him, if I should park out in the back? He said hell no!

Incidently there was a drop-in s/c roush motor, for sale there, based on the new ford offering. $30K
Still had more people looking at that old oil seeping FE

As far as a driving report. I took the roush out for quite a good long drive. A nice smooth running engine, which made a good amount of power after the supercharger kicked in. A nice civilized car.

I just like being uncivilized
