Well, I was hanging out up in Concord last night, with a few local LS1ers and the local rich boy, rolls up in his Roush Stage 3 drop top stang'. (he's a cool guy, guess i'm just a bit envyous of his $$$) Not sure of exact mods, but he said he dynoed 370 to the wheels at Underground Racing in Charlotte, and i know its a stick. So we head out and a few miles down the road, we get 'lucky' enough to catch a light. Neither of us popped a rev or anything, but when the light turned i was gonna ride 1st, just to be ready. So we're going 5-10ish and he hits it and puts a fender on me, i respond. i take it up to then end of 2nd gear and shut it down, didn't wanna get going to fast because its not a totally remote location. The end result, i put his nose about flush with my rear tires. Not a very long run, but lots of fun a no doubt satisfiying! -Jim

Thats a blower car. Run the 1320 and get back to us. Nice semi kill though.

Short run but nice kill none the less.


Roush S3 are bad *** lookin but don't put much to the ground for being blown, very low 300s kinda like a stock LS1 mabe a hair more.

fast enough, all the magazine I seen report 12.7s. It's by no means slow. Nice win, I agree, needed a long run but it's still goes down in the book for ya.

you're kidding right? i know for a FACT that the stage 3's dyno between 350-360 rwhp and have seen a few that have gone over 370 rwhp STOCK.

Joegt38

Never seen that quick at that track.
Im not a mag racer either.

if those moron magazines can post that time. I expect better times at the track. At least here in maryland. There's a guy here who works for enterprise said his ran 12.9 on street tires.

I never witnessed it but I don't see him lying about it. But than again, anything is possible.

Joegt38

Heres one stock stage 3 dyno sheet bone stock 329.2rwhp/341rwtq, like I said a little more then an LS1.

Heres a link of the car to show its a stage 3 roush.

Im sure its possible, but the very best ive seen at the track was a 13.0 (I know 12s ain't outta the question I just haven't seen it).

Ive also read many times between 12.7-13.0, and again I haven't seen it.

Well, i'm planning on going to Fayetteville Dragway this sunday, and i've invited the guy to come with me, he said "we'll see" so maybe i can give ya'll a report on the results. I'd liked to ran him longer, b/c i was still inching him back, but shut it down due to the location we racing. No need to do something rash when i already 'had' him and then regret it later. -Jim

i am familliar with that car and i am a member of the site that it belongs to. also, that was before they made a computer change on the s/c cars.

R&T tested the Roush stage 3 and drive only ran a 13.3, but he admitted he was a horrible driver and said it should go high 12s

Joegt38

Ok fine but the highest other one I seen there was still only 34?rwhp. Its good power but......
Im not trying to argue I just sharing what Ive seen.

Joegt38

What was wrong with the computer?

They might get some more power if they st8n out the AF in the higher RPMs. I just don't see them getting anywhere near 380-390rwhp. With that kinda power stock they would see mostly low 12s.

they tweaked the tune a little.

note: the graphs pictured are from before the computer change

here is a graph of the same car you posted above. notice the 362 MAX POWER.


here is another graph of a 2001 stage 3 vert which is also stock

was it silver???i have ran the same one on Weddington this past summer heading back to HD from lunch, he put about a car on me from 30 to 90

Yep, Hoss itsa silver one. There are two running around here. One with silver wheels and a HUGE older guy driving. The one i ran has chrome wheels and good sized guy. both are convertables.

Joegt38

Looks like they leaned out the higher RPMs for a little more juice. Decent #s I have seen a few dynos from them and they were much less. Unless Im also thinkin of the S281 S/C (not the E).
In that case the fix we will call it Roush S3 should take an LS1 for sure then .
