2014 Ford Mustang Roush Stage III Convertible

The third generation of the Roush Mustangs debuted in 2005 and was based on the new S197 model style GT Mustang.  Packages included the Roush Sport, Roush Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3.  ROUSH Performance also introduced several special-edition Mustangs.  Of note were the BlackJack Mustang, 427R Mustang, 427R Trak Pak Mustang, P-51A, P-51B, and the Speedster.  Other special edition Mustangs included the 428R Mustang, the RTC, and a special package for the 4.0L V6 Mustang.  For 2010 ROUSH released a redesigned Roush Mustang lineup. Available options for the year included Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, 427R, and the new 2010 ROUSH 540RH Mustang featuring 540 hp.  In 2012 ROUSH debuted their new Stage 3 Mustang.  The car featured painted stripes, Premier Edition side badges, vehicle-matching interior elements, as well as horsepower and suspension enhancements.  ROUSH announced the return of their Premier Edition Stage 3 Ford Mustang in 2013.  New for the 2013 model year lineup was the ROUSH RS Mustang, based on the popular V6 Mustang platform. The Mustang featured a standard 305 horsepower powertrain, in addition to a high flow upper grille, front chin splitter, side rocker splitters, and rear decklid spoiler. The car also featured custom 18-inch premium painted aluminum wheels.  Jack Roush and the folks at ROUSH Performance also went on to team up with Ford Racing to create The Ford Racing 5.0L DOHC Aluminator crate engine. The motor, which retailed for around $8,879, was an optional powertrain upgrade on any manual transmission Stage 3 Mustang.  For the 2014 model year, the company planned to once again offer a variety of different model Mustangs, from a stylish V6 Mustang all the way up to the company's supercharged ROUSH Stage 3 pony.

For consignment, a 2014 Mustang with heavy Roush styling influences in the form of a Stage III package.  All decked out in Darth Vader-esque black, this 30,040 title verified car has menacing written all over it!   As it should with 575 supercharged ponies under the hood, loaded with every available option, and having only been in the possession of 2 caring owners.  Add in the original window sticker, some dealership paperwork and couple that with this car being 1 of 53 convertibles built for the 2014 model year...Easy there, the force of this car WILL be with you.

Exterior
For this flexing muscle Ford went all out for the design and the ladies and gents at Roush took this to the utmost level.  Reminiscent of the early models it looks far more beefier, and more refined on the line aspect than even a run of the mill Mustang GT.  The front of the car is more “aero” designed, and has an integrated body matching bumper, unique grille fascias with integrated aero "pockets", small fog lights within the lower bumper and a race inspired front splitter crafted into the front lower fascia.  Sinister Darth Vader-esque Black covers the steel panels are very nice with well minded gaps, the front quarters have the appropriate R badging, and the door keeps the hockey stick cove Mustang is well known sans dress up or brake cooling scoops on the rear quarters.  For some extra wow, Magnum Gray decals are dressing a scooped and heat extractor equipped hood that is on between the fenders and gives the perfect modern muscle look.  Meanwhile, on the short decklid is a racy spoiler while just below is the signature faux Roush badged gas cap.  The duo of trio taillights harkens back to the first model, and are now larger and flattened, but still reminiscent of past generations.  Dual exhaust peeks out of the aero rear valance lower bumper and anthracite 5-spoke 20-inch Roush wheels are wrapped by nice rubber all around.  These wheels are a beautiful contrast to the menacing black that bathes this car all over.

Interior
Nice simple door panels utilize molded black plastic and stitched charcoal black cloth and a tasteful touch of thin trimming along with power window toggles, power lock switches and huge speakers with the driver's door holding the power window control.  Inside we can see the Roush white face gauges from the dash on the beautiful charcoal black high-backed leather buckets with gray suede inserts with even higher headrests.  And you will need it as when you smash the accelerator it will snap your head back and press you firmly into the power driver's seat.  In back are 2 plus 2 bucket/bench and these are also very nice.  A center console runs through the buckets and houses the automatic shifter.  As it rises to the dash center, we note the dials and buttons for the climate control and heated seats as well as the Sync equipped AM/FM/Navi/CD Changer Shaker stereo system which is part of the fairly rare electronics package.  Above is a black padded vinyl topped dash and within a silver brushed aluminum dash front are 2 large round deep set gauges, (again reminiscent of days of yore), with a central huge cluster, all analog save for the digital odometer readouts.  Black carpet is below and a Roush light bar is noted above.  A shout out to the trunk with its factory Roush tool kit bolted to the trunk lid and all is looking factory fresh because with a mere 30,040 miles it is.

Drivetrain
A Coyote 5.0 Liter V8 with EFI sits between the shock towers and makes 575hp in stock trim thanks to careful tuning and research by the folks at Roush.  Helping achieve those superstar numbers is a Roushcharger AVS 2.3 Liter supercharger.  Attached to the back of this mill is a SelectShift 6R80 6-speed automatic transmission which puts power rearward to an 8.8” 3.15 TracLoc geared rear.

Undercarriage
All strong and sturdy unibody and rockers with plenty of ground effects panel coverings to produce a free air flow undercarriage.  Brembo power disc brakes are on the front and rear.  The suspension includes independent coil springs up front, and a 3 link with coil springs and a panhard bar in the back with the addition of Roush Black coilovers  The factory Roush Sport Tuned dual exhaust system sends spent fossils through the factory cats and out the back via Roush mufflers. 

Drive-Ability
Climbing aboard this rocket ship I'm grabbed by the buckets, and begged to close the door with the warning sound.  The candles lit right up, and I was off to the test track.  This car performed beautifully, and cornered well, had blistering acceleration from the supercharged mill, and also will cruise nicely at very low RPM's with the 6-speed tranny.

A very clean all kept example of the Roush inspired Mustang.  It's 1 of 53 convertibles built for the model year, loaded with every option available and with the supercharged Coyote under the hood we have the power of the force with you.  Grab your lightsaber and climb in.  We are on the hunt for the Jedi.
