2008 ROUSH MUSTANG VS. a Modified C5 by CMS
Need your guys help!! Want your opinion on who would win a 1/4 mile drag. My Sgt. at work wants to race me at the local dragstrip. Its all in fun. But hell a little $$ on it wouldn't hurt. But before I get too crazy a little cheating wont hurt.
He owns a 2008 Roush Mustang 4.6L Supercharged. All stock. He states it rated at a little over 500HP, but he wasn't for sure. What are his real real #'s?
Me a 1999 C5 MN6 Vert. last dyno was 421RWHP and 396RWHP. This was taken before the install of the 3:90's. So I would assume I'm a little lower on HP. My car has AR LT's with cats, FAST 92, LS2 TB, 224/228 114LSA+2, LS6 heads that were CNC'd, and just installed 3:90's last week. Never tracked her so I have no idea what my vette will do!
So which one would you put your $$$ on?

Well that 500 he says is at the flywheel and with your numbers you'll be around 540 at the flywheel. Your car is lighter and so you'll take him as long as you have traction on the launch. I raced a 2008 Roush at the track and I'm putting down similar HP numbers as you. He was running mid 12's while I was doing low 12's. I had about 2 cars on him by the 1/4 so you should beat him by that or more. Just make sure you don't spin off the line and you'll have him. Good luck.
