Go race him and then come back and tell us who won. :beer:

That is what racing is all about, give it your best shot.

whats a stage 3 mustang? if your mods are pretty much just exhaust, then you will loose. they are very fast, especially top end, those things pull like crazy up top.

Where are you at in Charlotte? I am in Fort Mill and there is another owner of a 01 Stage 3 in Fort Mill also.


You will have no trouble with the WS6 handing him his a**.

What do you think a Roush Stage 3 is?!?! It's a Mustang GT with a blower, better brakes, and some cosmetic mods!

I think it'll really depend on the driver...you should be able to beat him, but not by much

Roush380R--I met you over at the Palace back in Sept, I was riding the R1 that night, but have since sold it for the Cobra...you coming out this weekend?

You should be able to beat him, if you can drive. My modded GT can beat them (WS6 with exhaust) up to about 90 mph, then their ram air kicks in and they put cars on me.

Ram Air is pure BS! Fbody's are bottom feeders. Meaning they have an air dam underneath the front of the car to direct air up to the radiator and into the air box. The Ram Air term is simply for marketing just like the Hemi. It actually has little performance effect.

Not sure about that. Once you take the air restrictor plates out of the hood inlet you can actually hear the air getting sucked in around 60+ mph. I have never had any trouble breaking away from a WS6 at a low mph.

:rolleyes:

And yes a S/C roush is a modded GT. But a stock stage 3 s/c Roush is a good run with a stock WS6. Stock stage 3 only dyno around 330rwhp, stock Ws6s dyno near that.

This is very true...i had an '03 Acura CL-S on nitrous that was door-to-door with a stage 3 roush til about 140mph...

Some people just don't realize their Roush's are just GT's with some suspension upgrades and cosmetics'...not taking anything away from them b/c they do look pretty sweet :rockon:

Id rather put a cent. blower on a GT (Like I did) and make 60+ rwhp then the roush. But your right its pretty.

If you can hear the air getting SUCKED in, then it's not being RAMMED in, now is it?

Ram air just doesn't work at anything less than 150+ mph, some references even say 200+ mph. Do they work on Top Fuel cars? Yep, but good, cold air is all that "Ram Air" is providing at the speeds us mere mortals travel.

I hope that you enjoy that extra 60rwhp at 6,200rpm. Because the Screw style is gonna put about 60rwhp and 70rwtq in the low and midrange rpms.
