you could tell me all day mine was slow & I would not have to go spend money LOL
I would say around 350 -360 to the rear stock
I will be honest with you my car has the stage 3 motor & it would never hang with my 96 Cobra with the Vortech

I never understood why Roush does nothing with the exhaust.

An 04' stock stage 3 from Roush is putting around 365 horse to the rear wheels if not more. Go to www.fnsweet.com and they will tell you first hand. They arnt slow, unless you consider high 12s in the quarter slow, and thats with the stock pulley. Roush does do something with the exhaust, its a side exit magnaflow cat back. You can even get enhanced sound mufflers. A friend of mine recently witnessed an 03 stage3 roush go up against an 03 cobra at his track, both completely stock on street tires. The Roush took the Cobra, 12.7 to a 12.9 for the Cobra.

Is this guy sure it was a Stage 3? I couldn't imagine it being slow. Did he pop the hood and see the S/C? A friend at work has a gorgeous Roush that looks like the Stage 3 with upgraded rims and all...great stance, fat tires, looks fast standing still...BUT, it's a V6 Stage 1. I had to laugh...

I forgot about the side exhaust.
I looked at buying a Roush Classic(stage 3), it still had the stock exhaust.
It was gonna be for my wife. I love them.
And No, they are not slow!
