The Ford Roush Mustang
Dragstrip will allow EAA AirVenture visitors to experience Roush Stage 3
Mustangs for themselves right inside the Ford Hangar. The Dyno Display,
the first of its kind in the world at an indoor event, uses a
dynamometer to simulate a quarter mile race on a drag strip while
participants actually drive a full-sized vehicle.
Participants can sign up
and drive the Roush Stage 3 Mustang and test their skills. Drivers are
signaled to start through a series of lights on the Christmas tree.
Horsepower and speed are measured along with the driver’s reaction and
elapsed race times.
The Dyno Display uses
safety straps to hold the vehicle in place, ballistic shields around the
transmission, and fire safety precautions. Exhaust fumes from the
vehicle will be vented through the display ceiling, and sound-deadening
elements eliminate engine noise.
The Roush Stage 3 Mustang
features the stock 4.6L V8 engine provided by Ford with a Roush
Supercharger, intake manifold, intercooler, radiator, and air induction
system to produce this 415 bhp, 385 pound per foot of torque street
vehicle.
