What do you guys think about these cars?
The one I was looking at is a 02 360r and they are limited editions and rare but performance wise would y'all go for the sohc s/c stage 3 Roush or a Mach 1 or I know of course most of y'all will say the 03/04 cobras.

But just having a hard time deciding what car to get cuz I want a good relieable n quick car.

Let me hear every ones input

roush doesn't have a special vin, so it's really not that special IMO.

what's the price range? Hard to beat the performance, gas mileage, and reliability of a c5 z06 corvette...

i think i would get a stage 3 roush before a mach 1 but id deff get an 03 cobra before a stage 3 roush.

IMO I would go with price, mileage condition of the car first. The Roush and Saleen Mustangs are great and all but you have to remember people want to charge you a premium for the names. Yes clearly the 03/04 Cobra was , is and always will be my favorite but the 03/04 Mach 1's are bad ass in my opinion. Go with what you can afford and what you like if you're gonna pay for it you gotta be happy.

Well mach 1s are cheaper but I'm wondering if the Roush will have any value as it gets older and be a collectors car? And Mach 1s can be made faster after putting in a bunch of dough tho

id rock any and all of those. id prefer the 03/04 of course, then the satege 3 roush then the 03/04 mach.

Yea I like that fact that it's rare and I would be the only one possible in the bay with that kind of car

The 360R has the same supercharged 2V motor as the Stage 3. It didn't have the side exhaust or the Stage 3 suspension. Some might have the Alcon brakes which are excellent but replacement rotors and pads are expensive. The car came in two colors: Red and white. All hard tops.

If I remember correctly, Jack Roush wanted the supercharged motor for his own personal car but didn't want the rather stiff Stage 3 suspension so the 360R was built. He drove a white one from Sonoma to Frontier Ford ten years ago today when I had him sign my Stage 3.

There aren't too many 360R's but who knows if they'll be considered collectable.

Was up D a stage 3 Roush would run circles around a Mach 1 in Road Racing and In a quarter mile with a good driver both being stock. Stage 3 Roush hold there value pretty good too but stage 1 and 2 not so really. The main reason I bought mine cause I wanted a mustang nobody really has. O ya Neight,,,,ROUSH FTMFW BRUH
