Waxed 2004 Roush Stage II In the wine country in central CA racing against MY OLD 2004 Roush Stage II Mustang with MGW shifter, Mac X pipe, Roush Catback, Intake, and shift light +5HP. I knew my stang could not hang with the big boys so I upgraded to an LS1 w/lid & cut out (See vid) Sorry its so short. After I put two cars on him I let off.

If you had stg 3 it would have done more than 'hang with the big boys'. Don't hate the car, hate the bad choice in your selection. LOL J/P - kind of.
Nice kill.
BTW - where in Central CA? - coast? that looks like just north of nipomo.
Oh, and it would have only been 1.75 cars if not for the sun roof being open.

Nice kill. Lid & Cut-out

um... basic bolt-ons, untuned. Your point? And don't try the "you wasted your money on all those mods" crap because it was on the car when I bought it. I've said time and time again that I WANTED an LS1, but the circumstances presented to me left this Mustang as the best alternative at the time.
