2002 Supercharged Mustang
i'd just like to say, first off, that i'm very embarrassed to even be posting this. there isn't a race, and i hate the thought of even posting this in this forum because of that, but unfortunately i don't know where else to post it
okay, so i was hanging with my cousin tonight. he has a 2002 mustang GT. he's always saying he can beat my car. yea yea yea...
well, today he dropped a bomb on me that i may be completely ignorant of. he says his car is supercharged. did ford make a supercharged 2002 mustang? he says it's a 2002 roush mustang stage 2. it weirded me out because i was unaware of a supercharged 2002 mustang, plus i've looked under his hood and i've never seen a blower, although i didn't look for it as i was ignorant of this.
my question is, is there a such thing as a 2002 roush mustang stage 2? if there is, how much power do they put out? what kind of quarter mile times do they run? and most of all, can i beat it? i ran a 13.6@105 mph and since then i've added a FTRA system and a cutout over my corsa catback.
does anyone have any info on these cars? also, how can i tell this is actually the car he says it is? he doesn't know much about cars. thanks in advance.

i tried listening for a supercharger but couldn't really hear one. his exhaust drowns it out (flowmaster catback). i did hear some type of noise but it sounds just like the AIR systems sound on our car when you start thertm up at cold start. if it has a supercharger, it ain't very loud.

well thats the stuff it comes with but u can get a supercharger for it i saw a few while i was searching for the specs so he could have gotten one in it, but if he just got the the stage 2 he probably doesnt have one. and it doesnt look like a lot in preformance mods just exhaust and air intake. id ask him to rev it with hood up. since you can't find it under the hood.

yea i don't think he knows what he's talking about
i just wanna know if this thing can beat a stock LS1, even if it is supercharged. it seems that the stage 3's are the supercharged ones, but they only pack 360 hp. if they are heavy pigs, i may be able to take him, although i do have 2.73's so that won't help me

Dont know if this will help but when my car was mostly stock, lid, maf, 80mm tb (no tune), and some suspension stuff, my boy had a mostly stock gt with a roots style blower, dont remember what kind, but seemed that whoever hit it first would keep that much distance between us till we shut it down. All roll races and his junk was not tuned, he messed his motor up. ooppps... I've got an m6

99-04 roush packages....
STG 1 - Base V6 or GT with body kit
STG 2 - GT with body kit and suspension mods
STG 3 - stg 2 with Roots Blower
If he has a stg 2.....you shouldnt' have much to worry about. I would say unless he is a better driver, but since he thinks a stg 2 is charged....there is no way he is. Honestly, I am surprised you have to ask this question...an FI car is pretty obvious, for the most part. Your cousin needs to do some 'learning' before buying a car, much less running his mouth.
Unless of course, you are incorrect on the stage..adn he has a stge 3. Roots style blower, probably says 360R on the side stripes too.

I have heard the Vortec SQ's are pretty dang quiet. If you "cant find it" under his hood, it aint there man. It would either be attatched to or replace his intake. I am sure you would see it. If you cant see it, it must be a recent (after you looked) mod, or you need to seek help. I think hes fulla poo.

True....he could have a stg two and installed a vortech SQ after you looked at it.....tell him to pop the hood again. If he has a vortech...YOU'LL know.
FWIW - Stg's Two's did not come with a charger from the dealerships. only stg 3s did....and they weren't centrif charger's.

btw, i was under the impression these roush cars had stripes on them. this is a pewter car, solid color. aren't the roush stage 3 cars only red and blue with white stripes? i'm just SO confused that he says it's blown yet i've never heard it. i don't know what to think. i just don't know how ANYONE could call a mid 14 second car soooo fast??? especially when mine is mid-low 13's and i think it's not fast at all...quick, but definitely not fast.

#2) Stg 3 would have a 360R stripe on teh side (more than likely)
#3) I am not sure were you get mid 14s from. I have seen low 14s from new edge GTs..then again..your car should be low 13s. Given your cousin's thought process....he would probably be mid to high 14s...
Lastly.....I mean this in a constructive way......you are confused, because you haven't tought yourself about other cars. Try 'research'..it helps.
Let me know if you have any more questions....I will gladly 'fill you in' on stangs, as much as I can.

Roush introduced their supercharged 360-hp 360R which was available in red with white stripes and white with blue stripes.

he doesn't have a stripe for sure. his car is a single color.

I wouldn't count on that 14.7 time. Gt's have run low 14s.
I wouldn't worry about the charger.....he doesn't have one..you'd know.

A little off topic....but I like how in the spec sheet, you get a 'custom trunk tool box.' Is that for all the times the shitty ford breaks down?!?

A Roush Stage 2 Mustang doesn't come with a blower, period. A 2002 Roush Stage 3 is very recognizable on several levels, one being the side exhaust. If it was a Stage 3, no matter how uninformed or disinterested you are about other cars, you'd have to be blind not to see the blower, it sits right on top of the motor! See pictures.
