E55 vs Mustang Roush 2
Yesterday my son and I had a hai cut, on the way back I spot this guy on a very nice looking (late model) silver mustang ahead of me, I go aside and check him out, Nice chrome wheels, side exhausts, plus body work and Rouse 2 badge on the rear. I thought it was a nice car.
There was a lot of trafic (two loaders were moving huge pieces of machinery for a refinery or someone), so I took another route, the mustang followed, this was a 2 way road and he was going left and right (like warming up the tires), at the light it opens to divided road 2 lanes each side, he pulls next to me and at the green we both punch it, take off was where he couldn't do much I immediatelly gained about 2 cars (may be 1 1/2 cars) and kept the same distance from him till about 100 which is when I led off the gas (mainly because my son was with me, all excited about the race too
).
We both make a few turns into streets into the same neighborhood, I honked at him and waved, we stopped and talk about the car and the race. He was amazed he couldn't catch up with me but not surprised I pulled at take off, he was telling me that he sent the car to Roush (Mustang ports tuner) and had the second stage installed (all is left is 3rd stage which includes a super charger), he has interior, exterior and engine mods, very nice mods
When we said good by he said, "thanks for kicking my butt", turns out he lives 2 block away from me, next time I go to the track he is bringing his car too.
God did I miss my car all this time!!!

Nice kill. My friend has a 2001 Stage 3 Roush mustang convertible. Very nice for a mustang, the chrome wheels body kit, and side pipes are cool. He kills me.:p He ran a 13 flat about a month ago at the track. So if u ever race one of those u will still be with it.

my roush experience
I test drove the stage 2 and 3 when I turned 16. They both sounded amazing but I didnt think the stage was worth the price or praise. It had to much of a touchy clutch and gas pedal. But the stage 3 on the other hand was an amazing car.. You have got to race one or on the other hand test drive one for yourself.. tell me what you think if you find one..
