NPC - Nephew is Top Rousch Seller Worldwide 2nd Year, for the `Stang-a-philes out there Options

[Tom_T]

Definitely car related! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) .... Mustangs - not 914s - though.

So this is a little family bragging about one of my nephews in the car biz - since I forgot to put up when he won it last time for 2010 - and he's gotten it for 2011 too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

My nephew John - at Ray Skillman Ford in the Indy area - is the top Rousch Mustang Dealer worldwide - apparently by a huge margin - in terms of the cars sold, and has built himself into the go to guy from the USA/North America, Europe & worldwide for anyone wanting a new Rousch Mustang - or Shelby Cobra `Stang, SVT, or any other specially tweaked new Mustang.

Here's the video of him getting the 2011 award .... I know, boring, but there are good shots of the cars in it & he has his dealer contact info at the end of the video:

He also apparently has a gazillion uploads on how to set-up these specialty `Stangs, & he said to google his name + Mustang (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)
.... and you'll get him on the first 40 pages or something (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) .

Those of you into Mustangs will probably enjoy his other more Mustang oriented stuff better!

Plus he puts on a big Rousch/Mustang gathering on June 29th 2012 at the Ray Skillman dealership, if you're in the Indianapolis IN area then. Here's some clips from the 2010 one he sent me:

Okay...my duty as a proud uncle is done ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Very cool, I'm a huge fan of the new Mustangs, have gotten real close to pulling the trigger and then they come out with something even cooler/better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The new Roush's are much more appealing to look at, vs the 2005-9 models.

IIRC this year's release is the bigger block aluminum V8 (5.4L?) which is supposed to be around 650 hp I think, so that would be a good timing for getting one. IIRC it's also going back to a full ind. rear susp. again then for the 2013 MY.

My nephew had held off getting his most recent red M-Cobra SVT above until the 2010 models for the same reason - the 500 hp 5.0L Aluminum block V8 coming out. He also passed on upgrading his prior red M-Cobra (99 IIRC) cuz - while he liked the new retro-mod body style, it was less of a performance drivetrain in them than his was, up until the 2010 MY.

Geez - I don't know how he's not crawling with cops & tickets with a red convertible that fast! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Heck, I got tickets left & right as a teen with a red Opel Kadette with a measly 1.1L I-4 motor, then again while my 73 914-2.0 was painted in the Copper Metallic 76-80! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

When I got my first job out of grad school I bought a 2004 bright blue Mustang Mach 1 with 1400 miles on it, and I put an H pipe and Borla stinger exhaust on it the first day I had it.

I owned the car for 12 months. In that time I got 5 (that's FIVE) speeding tickets.

I traded it for a silver accord and drove the exact same speeds on the exact same roads. I've gotten zero tickets in 7 years.

Believe me Rich, I know only too well! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I repainted my 73 2L from that 75 MY 914 Copper Metallic - really a metallic bright orange in the SoCal sun - to the Anthracite (Dark Grey) Metallic (my "Pavement Cammy") as seen in my avatar during the rolling resto in 1980.

After that I got no more sideways looks from Cops/CHPs - let alone no more tickets - driving the same way & same speeds in the same dang car - my 914!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
