He was so pissed afterwards that he sat on the tarmac for an hour next to his car sulking like a lil beotch. Came to work this monday and said he was trading it in for a Brembo 3.73 Premium GT, I LOL'ed.
That's pretty awesome.

I never understood why those Roush guys buy that crap car for as much as it costs instead of buying a real car in the same price range like the GT500. M4, perhaps you can chime in.

Status probably. Unless you get one of their supercharged models it doesn't really make any sense to get one. But the Roush cars are generally better "values" than Saleen or Shelby if you insist on buying a pre-modded car.

The Z takes nearly 6 seconds to do 5-60 (5.8), while the GT500 takes 4.5. It is a very considerable difference.
A lot of reviews came up with a time much closer to 5 secs for the z
