Default Finally raced the room mate...

SO this has been a long time coming lets not get to wordy with it...

My AP1- Megan header, test pipe, exhaust, VAFC2 (untuned... but leaned alittle)
Stage 2- K&N intake, plus all the Rousch goodies...

We were doing.... interstate runs, 65-130ish. We did about 5 runs,

1st. he had the jump i didnt down shift into 3rd, lets just say it wasent pretty
2nd. started in third, went to 6th...
3rd. same mistake... are you kidding me?!
4th. We both lined up i let him take the jump, he pulled half a car, shifted into 4th and started walking... pulled him over a car then 5th, we shut down him at my door.

5th. i pulled him a car and we ran into traffic.

End result, pretty damn close race. When i wasent ****ing up my shifts i took him by a car!!! Thats a V8 special edition mustang!! AHAHAHA I have an Injen on the way then im getting tuned. Its over for him.

I think stage 3 is the rouschcharger. Stage 1 and 2 are just cosmetic and suspension. Maybe exhaust also, but i dont think so. Otherwords, its not much more than a GT.

Well atleast the dispute was settled. I think a Roush edition 'Stang should have a significant amount of HP over the base model, not just some exterior and intake etc....

Roush stage 1 has minor upgrades, mostly cosmetic. Stage 2 has cosmetics, suspension, and bolt ons. Stage 3 is the pimped out version. However, stage 2 is also customizable to add the charger in it.

I prefer the Steeda packages over the Roush. My old Saleen has the full Steeda suspension package and it was amazing!
