Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip

The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.

Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.

With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races.

Roush vs GT500
13.05 vs 12.46 Race 1
11.72 vs 12.23 Race 2
11.68 vs 12.24 Race 3


Once the Roush warmed up it seems it was pretty menacing. The GT500 was very consistent. I'd still take the GT500 if given the choice between the two

+1, GT500 all the way....I wouldnt even consider the roush.

J.P.

Roush had traction control off on the first run, otherwise it seems it would have ran consistent as well
