roush stage 3 vs 89 bird

i ran the bird from my sig against a 00-04 roush. it was the roush charged stage 3 i could hear the charger whine. we went from about a 40 roll cuz at the line i didnt think the guy was going to do anything. i had him til about 60 and then he was about a car length per second ahead after that... i didnt think that charger would make such a huge difference from a doch cobra (wich i walk all over on rolls)

the mach 1's arent supercharged. those are the cobras you're thinking of. still not a bad race all things considered.
