Default Little run in with 5.0 rs3

Hey everyone just had a little run in with a brand new mustang Roush. I believe it said rs3 on the side. The dealer tag on the back had yesterday's date on it. Well we didn't get a run from a dig since i was to scared to race where we were at the time. So I followed him out to a road I felt a little better about. Well we raced from a roll ( I know I know) we went WOT about the same time and we were pretty dead even then he shifted ( kind of a slow shift) an I pulled about a fender or so and then we stayed pretty even but I feel if we could have gone longer( stopped at about probably 100-105 I would have edged him out. Does anyone know what kinda power an times these cars put down? I'll give my mods since my sig doesn't always show up while writing from my phone.
99 trans am m6 ls7 clutch, pp tb, lt, x pipe, lid, 228r cam 110lsa and ls6 intake. It put down 385rwhp and 378rwtq. What y'all think?

540hp 2012 Stage 3™ Mustang. The powertrain of this vehicle features the 5.0L 4-valve DOHC TiVCT engine further enhanced by the R2300 ROUSH supercharger, feeding 10psi of intercooled energy to the already robust Coyote engine. The ROUSHcharger increases the base horsepower from 412HP to an impressive 540HP. ROUSH stands behind this system with an impressive 3 year/36,000 mile full powertrain warranty.


From what I have seen on mustang forums they run lower-mid 12s stock., They are kinda like the GT500. Traction limited. Dyno numbers vary from 440-470whp.

They are a ******* joke, period. Yes if someone gave me one I would drive it with a smile but no way in hell I would pay for one. Same goes for Saleens or whatever they are now.

Now if Maximum Motorsports, Kenny Brown, or Griggs Racing made a Mustang yes I would spend money on that. They are the real deal, not a Mustang with pretty (heavy) wheels, body kit, and some Eibach springs.
