i was coming home from work earlier. i came around a jug handle and i notice a really nice blue mustang pull behind me. it had a roush windshield banner and it looked like a roush front end.
i pull away from the light making a left and hes right on my *** so i gun it. as i let off at around 60 he was a few lengths back and not gaining.
he flies by. car sounded nice. if he was on it all the way i wasnt impressed.
it was a 4.6 version im sure with just light mods if i had to guess. maybe a stg.1 package.
i was in my GTO which makes 345/340 on a mustang dyno so its not anything special.

It depends on the year but most stage ones and twos are mostly just appearance mods and suspension I believe, might get an additional 30hp..stages 3s get a supercharger but if it was an 04 or ealier they really don't make tht much power...I ran an 07 roush 427r from a roll and only lost by a car which surprised me..I coulda started in a lower gear so it might have been even closer
That would be a good kill if it were the 11-current body style but if it's the 05-10 it would have the 3 valve 4.6 which doesn't even break 300 to the wheels.
The new 5.0 makes obviously 412 to the fly so that would be a good run for you.
(I own a 2000 gt that is slow as **** I made 210 to the ground with an x pipe on a mustang dyno)

Mustang's before the 5.0 coyote are absolute dogs. Most LS1's and all LS2's can beat the 4.6, no reason to not feel proud, beating a smug bastard who thinks his shitstang is top dog because it has a horse on the front is one of the best feelings a LSX owner can feel.
I have a friend with one that is SC, don't get me wrong they look nice, but they are slow. He stated that he would have anything for me, I was on motor witht the old LS1 heads back then, but it was not much of a race. just me pulling away. The End.
