Well, as I promised I am providing more images of my Roush. I am attaching a video I took because I was thinking it would be better then still shots.I know some of you will really like it but I expect true Nissan/Infiniti owners may feel a little indifferent. I hope I loaded this correctly.

Take care and let me know what you think, positively and negatively.

God D***!!! Very nice car. I've always liked the Roush package much, much better than the Saleen.

Very nice.

Saw a black one a couple of weeks ago and loved the look. I can't stand the center dash tho.

I agree the dash is pretty bland. I plan on improving it though maybe with some black chrome and a DVD Navigation system.

Yeah, adding something that adds shape to it would help. Looks flat

I will need to get a tripod for the drive and show I loaned the one I had to my brother and he lost it. The short throw is tall and no its not a Hurst, it's one of Roush's own shifters. The length of the shifts is short, meaning there isn't a lot of travel to go from one gear to the next.Hope you enjoyed it and I will work on the G coupe/sedan and the video of the Roush in motion.

The P51A is a new car from Roush and I am sure it is going to go for a lot more then even the Shelby is going for. I don't know if I like the paint job on it to me its kind of too much.

So is it really 427 cubic inches???

How fast is it?

Love the exhaust sound. Miss the torque :-(

Comparing that to and infiniti is apples to bananas but nice car none the less.

It's the horsepower, I wish it was a 427ci. One day I plan on getting a Roush 427IR crate motor for it but they cost about $20k so 427 horsepower will have to do for now.It is very fast, I have allegedly gotten it up to 125 in 4th gear and I allegedly went into 5th gear and was going 135 when my stones turned to mud and made me back off. I figured I must have had about a half of an inch of pedal left and about 400rpm's left before redline. My biggest complaint it they have the rev limiter way too close to redline 6200rpm's I think it could go at least another 400 or so and then it would be even quick in my opinion. It is a quicker car then my g was and it feels safer at higher speeds then my g did but as far as cornering I think the g gets it there. The interior of my g was way nicer but the looks from the outside is a tie for me.

The gearing sounds similar to my 07 G. It will do 105mph in 3rd about 130 mph in 4th and I got up to just past 150 in 5th and had the same testicular deficency you did.

I'd love to get the G out to the track to see if it really will do 160 especially since I have speed appropriate rubber on it now.

My dad was a Ford guy so I grew up holding the OS handle in the passenger seat of Mustang GT's. When you sell or trade that car your going to regret it!

John,Reason I asked about the short throw shifter, is I've got a Steeda Triax in my cobra and the shifter handle on mine is really short. It does come with two settings, but I have it on the shortest height. Don't know if you can tell on this pic.

I can see it looks good at that height. Maybe mine is just bigger then yours? sorry, but you know I just kinda had to say it. I will see if I can lower mine to that height. I want to change out the knob to a billet and am kind of concerned that it will even look bigger.
