Roush 380R???

99B16Si · 09-29-2003, 01:14 PM

i have no idea what one of these things are but i was on my way home heading down DM. when i see a nice looking conv mustang. i noticed it was a roush and said 380r on it. it was an older guy, maybe 30-40, and probably his wife or something. i didnt really think anything of it because i didnt try anything and neither did he. we both hit a light and im in the outside right lane and hes 2 over from me in the left. i just roll out of first and shift at a normal 4500, go into second and give it a little more gas and blow off with him being about 2 cars behind me...he does nothing. we then hit another light and i notice btoh them looking over at my car, maily the woman. i didnt say anything, although i was about the holla at the slizut givin me a couple looks, instead i just returned the glance and then kept lookin forward. so a min goes by and the light finally turns green. i rev to about 5k in 1st then shift when all of a sudden from right next to me he stomps it. at this point i was at about 4k in 2nd(well out of my powerband), so to compensate i give her a little double clutch action get her movin. by the time full boost hits hes got about 2 cars on me. i get to the top of second and onlt get about a half a car back, into 3rd and i finally catch up at around 90mph or 7k and let off a LOUD blow right in his lady's ear

. i didnt feel like doing 100+mph down DM, and was pulling him pretty hard, so in my mind i proved my point by catching up 2 cars from 30-90 after he got the jump. sweet lookin stang and i guess its always fun to get a decent run now and then

Does anyone know what the 380R puts down stock?(I know it has a blower)

DaTruth · 09-29-2003, 01:45 PM

Nice Kill.. I think it puts down somewhere around 350rwhp..

I would think that Vince is right. I ran a Sunset Orange colored one with exhaust, a few weeks back, and he was right there on my door.

good kill

I think the 380 rating is flywheel HP. Good kill.

I can't wait til I get my spray, we should be a good run.

Well, I run mid 12's, and with his mods, he was probably high 12's. I was slowly pulling.

The way the weather has been lately he's probably hurting as well... With some cooler weather the blower cars are going to be moving a LOT quicker.... I know mine felt like it had an extra 50 horse when the weather dropped around 70...

Not defending the roush, I still think they are WAY overpriced for what they are... I'd rather have bruce's Mach 1 and a Vortech any day!

BTW Dino - your mid 12 runs were back in January... ever make it to the track since then? I ran 12.79 that day - first time out in the car and I haven't been able to do better than a 12.9 (against Shalane) since that day because of my gremlins (of course I'm sure the heavy wheels and lowered suspension didn't help the cause)...

Maybe we need a 99B16Si vs. Dino run
