[Video] G37S 7at vs '13-'14 Roush RS Mustang
Just a dressed up V6 mustang. Sounds very rowdy. Almost V8-ish. Can't hear it in the video below but definitely noticeable in another video I have.
Had 3 'short' runs that all ended early due to upcoming traffic. Had 1 'good' run that was worth uploading for viewing.
In the last 'short' run we started off at 60 and I was in the wrong gear. I was in 4th instead of 3rd.
By 80mph he was exactly 2 car lengths ahead of me. This was the only time I saw his tail lights during any of the runs. That was as far as he got. By 85mph I started to close the distance and catch up. By 105 we were side by side. I had to let off due to cars up ahead. He kept going wide open throttle because his lane was clear.
I can tell that if we continued to keep going I could have shown him my tail lights because when we got side-by-side I could clearly see my car start to easily pull away.
It seems like the 3.7 in the mustang runs out of steam around 100-110 whereas the VQ37 pulls to 130 without a problem. I am sure it has to do with gearing because the 3.2L 5AT TL also hits a wall at 110 thanks to 4th gear.
I couldn't tell if he was Auto or Manual.
Had 1 'good' run that was open road with no cars in sight which is the video below.
2014 ROUSH RS Mustang <-- More info about RS Mustang.
His was not a convertible. It was a coupe.
I let off when I hit 115 and hit the brakes when I was going 110.
