2014 Roush Stage 3 or 2015 Roush Stage 3
I'm looking to buy a Roush Mustang and wanted to poll the community on which one to buy. Through my research, there is no doubt the 2015 is a more refined car with additional amenities (heated and cooled seats, etc) While those are nice, I'm more interested in the car from a drivability perspective. I won't be racing it but rather will be driving it on the weekends for fun. The 2014 seems to be about $ 10-$ 12 less. I like the design of the 2014 better. Like the horsepower of the 2015, but think I can make do with what the 2014 outputs. I welcome thoughts from those who have driven both. Thank you in advance

Personally I prefer the 2014. Love the retro looks, and car is plenty fast. From what I have seen in reviews on the 14 vs 15, the 14 is actually a faster car before the supercharger is added. It all depends on what you like. They are very different cars, and every one that gets an S550 sees to like the handling of the car. Drive both and pick your favorite. It really is what you like. The numbers on the 15 RS3 are a significant jump over the 14.

I would get the 2015 as the older body style seems to have some inherent front suspension issues (I have clunking noise in my front end and control arms are bad). I only have 52K miles on this car and it is beginning to disappoint me with problems.
