Picked up this weekend. 2016 Roush Stage 3 Mustang. The original owner selected all of the options except upgrading the single coilovers to 3 way coilovers. Great power and ride quality. Way to go Roush!

I'd be curious how it behaves as a daily driver, manageable power with a sensible right foot?

Thanks in advance...

Good deal! I’m sure you’re already enjoying it. I like that it has minimal graphics. I’ve driven a few Stage 3’s and they definitely put a smile on your face. Just watch the low temps on summer tires as it gets sideways quick.

Auto or manual? I'm just curious if the manual Roush's have the same wheel hop issues that stock manual gt's have? Nice car BTW!

Really nice.. I like the wheel package. I don't know much about Roush packages.. can you upgrade the pulley for some extra power?

Definitely manageable power with an easy foot. Crap gas mileage though, even with the easy foot. I'm betting 12-14 mpg going fairly easy most of the time. Great looking ride!

Here are my thoughts so far. Manual. It had 5,600 miles. Got a pretty good deal, after looking at lots of ads. To me it's really refined cruising around. Even when the supercharger kicks in the whine is not loud. It has the active exhaust and enjoy being able to adjust the volume. The wheel set up is the optional Roush 275 35 20 squared. The rear wheels are not big enough for traction from the 670hp engine. You'll spin 1st 2nd and 3rd. But I'm fine with that I like to spin every now and then. No drag racing for me. So far a complaint is the stock Cooper tire. They are all season and for high performance but are loud on the highway. I'm really enjoying the coilovers but not best for commute with rough roads. Roush had no options for any engine mods. Some fun facts I found out, 364 Roush Stage 3 were made in 2016, of which there were 32 Race Red coupes.

Really like it, looks sharp. Always did like those wheels, but admittedly wish they would be wider in the rear. I love my Roush/Ford Racing supercharger as well. Room to grow power-wise if you're into that kind of thing.

How do you find the statistics about how many RS3s were made in your setup? I just bought a brand new 2017 RS3 and I'd like to run that stuff down.
