NAIAS Tidbits: Roushcharged Focus, Grabber Green Boss 302
The Roush RS3 Focus debuted at SEMA, but unfortunately TTAC was unable to obtain press passes for said SEMA due to an inability to find any photos of our staffers wearing super-cool sideways baseball caps. We are, therefore, seeing it here for the first time. We also saw a Mustang that just might have to be your humble author’s next ride, assuming my attempt at becoming one of the first 86 Scion FR-S owners fails…
The RS3 apparently makes 230 horsepower thanks to a ROUSH supercharger. This means it would be comprehensively humiliated on tha streetz by such zestier hardware as the Lamborghini Reventon and the 2003 Dodge Neon SRT-4. Still, if you don’t want to wait for the Focus ST to get your Mopar masochism on, this is an attractive way to do it. The brakes are Stoptechs and the graphics package is almost tasteful. Now let’s see a real ass-kicker of a Ford…
Oh yeah, this is more like it. How do you replace the world’s only Porsche Lime Green Audi S5? This is one answer. Boss 302 in Grabber Green. This or the Shelby? Hmmm….

I much prefer Bullitt green. http://www.themustangsource.com/timeline/67-68/68/bullitt/burninrubber4.jpg
Jack, which Shelby, the licensed GT500 built by Ford or one of the 200 or so modified each year by Shelby American?
