First Post. First Mustang.

Hey everyone. This seems to be the most active Mustang forum around so I figure I'd join up and share some photos of my new pride and joy.
These are pics from the dealers website. I'll post some of my personal photos once I get it detailed and looking pretty (and some Roush decals!!).

My only complaint is its automatic transmission which I may convert later on down the road.

The body work isn't Roush , maybe it's the engine work ? Nice car anyway and welcome to the forum ...

I'd be hesitant to call that a Roush without some supporting documentation. Not to rain on your parade or anything, but I've seen and driven some stage 3's and they all had Roush body kits. Any pics under the hood?

Nice car but the only way id be able to see any roush clues is the emblem above the gt. Got any under hood pics or supporting docs?

Not just you... Looks like a regular GT to me. You would think that a Stage 3 Roush would look like a Roush. Maybe the dealership is trying to pull a fast one.

Did a VIN search over on roushperformance.com (last 5 digits are 94162) came up with this:

Result 1 of 1*:
  • Model: Mustang
  • Model Year: 2008
  • Body Type: Coupe
  • Bed Type: N/A
  • Engine Type: GT
  • Transmission: AUTO
  • Stage: Custom
  • Color: Vapor
  • Paint Code: ZY
  • Stripe Color: None
  • Interior Color: Grey
  • Build Site: B50
  • Dealer: Apple Ford MD
  • State: MD
  • Prod Start Date: 4-Aug-08
  • Completion Date: 6-Aug-08
  • Vehicle Serial No: N/R
  • Build No: 1800
  • Roush Leather: Yes
Stage says custom, but the plate under the hood says:
(sorry for the crummy pic, took it last night. cant take a new one today, heavy rain and all)

To be fair to the dealership they never advertised/called it a stage three Roush, just a Roush. That was an error on my part.


Since I'm putting up crummy pics, here's one of the supercharger

I wonder if it was a special order of some kind. Could be a pretty rare car... I don't know if that really adds to its value or anything, but makes it neat nonetheless.

Does it have all the stage three suspension components and what not?

Thanks for the welcome, guys.

Guess this is an oddball Roush :-)

Has the interior (Autographed leather seats) and the Stage 3 engine mod by Roush but nothing else.

Brembo brakes, Shelby Rims (pretty sweet wheels actually).


My first order of business is to upgrage to the Roush suspension.

I'll get some pics up, hopefully, tomorrow.
