Well personally I think the mustang is beautiful. The roush stage 3 even more beautifully done. I have driven a few and they have some serious pull.
From the video it doesn't sound like either one of you really pushed it hard but I am chalking that up to poor sound or possibly too much wind noise?
At any rate that cobalt is a beast for sure as well as that mustang.
Should race him from a dig and see what happens. I think you could still get him, off the line he would take you but something tells me high into 2nd gear you would catch up and by 4th you would pass him.

I like Mustangs, that one is ugly though. I think the stripe with the 427R is cheesy, the fake hood cowl is also and the color for the seats have to go, the grey doesn't even match the interior carpet or the rest of the dash.

we were both full out racing shifting at 7300 for me and 6800 for the roush... we shut down at 135 cause of traffic but the race was over any ways i pulled him

The Rousch needs either Kooks or ARH headers and a TVS supercharger. My Cobra would blow your eardrums out if I was on the side of you. That was a very quiet race. I assume your using Hahns 20G turbo?

the roush blower is such a POS. whipple and KB are the way to go. 450rwhp on 10 psi every time. mmm.

the windows were up and the roush screams but i do agree with the blower swap to bad the motor cant handle it... it not the motor that came in the cobra's its a 4.6 with a blower slapped on

the roush blower is a piece of junk, at least with the stock pulley. 450rwhp is absolutely fine on a 3v 4.6 and the roushes are making probably 70rwhp LESS than that.
