Anytime you can get that kind of power with a warranty it's a steal. Try building it yourself and in the process voiding your warranty for that price.
Not to mention no hassle, buy and drive away your new supercharged toy.

You don't get a drive train warranty with 727 hp.

The first thing I would upgrade is the drive shaft and 1/2 shafts...LOL

So are they just bolting on a charger because a complete Roush Stage 2 has no charger included. http://www.roushperformance.com/vehicles/mustang-2016-stage2.html

The stage 3 has a charger along with other goodies for base price plus 22K. http://www.roushperformance.com/vehicles/mustang-2016-stage3.html

:shrug:

I see they are just strapping on a SC.. http://www.roushperformance.com/parts/2015-2016-Ford-Mustang-Supercharger-Phase-2-727-HP.html

It's not that great of a deal...the only thing you're saving is the cost of the install for the supercharger. However you're still paying full price for a base car.

It's a gimmick....there's no real savings here.[/Q]

It is a sale gimmick.....Its a dealership. They will try to up-sell you when you get there. Here is where is is pretty awesome, if you can stick to your guns, and buy the base with 727 HP for 40K, then it an awesome buy. What other brand new car can you buy for 40k that has 727 HP (more HP than a Hellcat) that is as well built as a new S550?

There are tons of people that are going to jump on this deal.

The deal looks good for those who don't do their own work and want a warranty right off the bat.

However, if you get a manual you would/should want upgraded halfshafts that another poster already mentioned ($1500 parts only).

And if you get either trans. you might want to upgrade the OPG/timing sprocket. ($600 parts only).

My question is if you get these parts installed by the dealer is the warranty still valid as the engine is getting cracked open? What if you want to install those parts yourself?

If the warranty is important you would want to read the fine print very carefully, imo.

Interesting since supposedly you can only get the warranty if it's installed by a Roush certified shop anyways.

And the last thing @Kyle@ROUSH said when they released the Stage 2 is that it did NOT have a warranty available.

So if your buddy has that warranty I hope he has it in writing.
Spoke with him again and he says that only parts for the power train is not covered. Everything else is. He has it in writing.

Shultz Ford in PA has toyed with this idea but they can't keep Mustang's in the lot as it is.

Uhm...what? LOL can I get an English translation!

If you only have a 3 yr warranty on the SC then it's not a great deal as Ford will probably laugh in your face if you come to them with an engine or trans problem.

Base GT with a supercharger, broiest-bro-stang out there. If any of these sell they'll end up totaled within weeks.

Perfect cars & coffee Mustang.
well they selling them like hotcakes... no one murdered yet at a C&C!

for the record. stage 1 =warranty. stage 2 upgrade you lose powertrain warranty but still have parts warranty on the all the stuff with the blower and the blower itself.

smart thing to do is just get stage 1 with the warranty and after the car has broken in and not blown up...upgrade to 2 down the road.

smarter thing to do is get a whipple but obviously can't finance it then but at least you can resale the whipple unlike the roush because the block got grinded down.

Except anything drivetrain related....which is where people really want the warranty to remain intact.
Phase 2 parts only.
I have the Phase 1 dealer Installed before delivery . Only reason I went with Roush Ford Racing supercharger peace of mind and warranty. Before having dealer install Roush supercharger I called Ford directly and Roush to find out how the warranty works. Ford was still on 3-year 36000 bumper to bumper with the Roush extended warranty. If Ford can prove the Roush supercharger caused the damage to whatever part brakes Roush will cover the warranty for up to $11,500. This includes half shafts Driveline transmission engine whole bunch of parts if you read the warranty guide. I really wanted the Whipple because of the power it puts down but when it came to it Ford recommended Roush and said they work with each other and that they have very safe conservative Tune. Warranty was very important that's why I went with the Ford Racing Roush supercharger. If I did not care about the warranty I probably would have done a beef cake special.
