Default Blue oval Vs. Bowtie
At a local hang out spot I notice a new black Roush Stage 3 Mustang about to leave. I had him roll down his window to see if he wanted to race my bolt-on car. It turned out he use to own a 02 z28, and wanted to see where he stood compared to his old car. We left to the local race track to do our comparo and the outcome was as follows.

Nice kill.

That should make him want to get his z28 back!

Damn, he had to be surprised. I think stage 3 is mid to high 12s. The outcome was expected.

looks like he took off in the wrong gear. Good kill nonetheless.

In the first race maybe, second run, lol, no. The S/C was spooling quite nicely.

They use pulley and gear multiplication, there isn't any free spinning.

Sure but that is usually set up well before hand in an area which isn't on a highway.

Here you go one from a stop. The guy blew the launch... Oh well

I know that, ok, so.....

"You could hear the pulley and gear multiplication of the Roush."

Man, a S/C new mustang can't stack up to a bolt on LS1? Those Stage 3 Roush's must be on some low boost...
