I picked mine up from Rod Baker Ford in Livonia Mi even though I live in Illinois. Long story...but, in essence I purchased the red 427 that is featured on their site. I really enjoy the car...great fun!I live down in Wilmington, south of Joliet. Where did you order your car from?
Got mine from Court street Ford.
how do you like the 427R? am very interested in a 2007 not sure on a roush or a saleen S/C? any advice?
This will be biased...of course. I love my 427R....it is everything I was looking for. I have had the European speed/performance cars and love their refined engineering....but I wanted something raw. This car is fast, loud (relatively) and sticks to the road. Roush knows how to "stick" a vehicle to the road....race heritage...and the suspension speaks for itself. The down side? At 60 mph or 1800 to 2000 rpm there is a drone...it's the off road exhaust... My options seem to be gearing...maybe a 4.10 rear end or an exhaust change.
The other thing I liked was that the Ford factory warranty is 100% with the Roush...I don't know on the saleen.
From what I have seen the saleens are a great looking car...I just don't know enough to give you an opinion.
thanks for the info innrkid we have a saleen dealer in oregon but no roush dealer they all seem to be in the middle of the country but I will keep looking the roush is what i am leaning towards. do you think the 410 rear is a good idea i have seen some articles that suggest it is a good idea
Thanks again for the info innrkid.Drain,OR. but grew up in Eugene. Will chech out the ford dealer direct. I found a 07 burgandy 43,500 plus shipping in ternet but would kind of drive one first to see if it really what I want. you don't ever see them around here. have a good one and GO DUCKS

kerry, thanks I really appreciate the info wish I would of found this site long ago could of saved some real soul searching. I will get ahold of Hillyers and go from there. How much engine mods do they do when they do the motors? Does Roush add their own crank and rods etc.... or do they just add the blower? Have you ever compared the roush to a Saleen? And whats your opinion of them? Thanks Chuck
