 There she is So literally like two seconds into my drive already get complimented on staga source Just stopped at the gas station had to pick up some energy drink So that is pretty freaking cool. But anyways, welcome back to another one. If you are new to the channel, I am Gold Pony I am in staga source and today we are going to be driving a Rao stage 3 Mustang a 2015 and competition orange guys remember that color before orange fury came out definitely a sweet-looking color But got me thinking though getting a new Mustang GT versus getting a pre-owned Rao stage 3 Mustang with nearly 700 horsepower They're right around the same price at this point So it is apples to apples as far as pricing goes So kind of curious what this one is going to be like and of course super excited because it is a high horsepower car So let's head off to Bob Ruth for the Dillsburg PA here and we should be there in approximately I don't know three to five seconds So you guys I told you it was only like three to five seconds. We are here Let's go for you guys in the comments section below is the 2019 Mustang worth getting for the Roush you guys This is a 2015. It looks like the trunk open. Yep trunks open There we go. Anyways, this is a 2015. This is the one we're going to be driving stage 3 Let's go get the keys And so we are now in the 2015 Roush stage 3 Mustang and dang I can tell you guys off the bat the crackle on this active exhaust system is Amazing before I get ahead of myself as always let's start with pricing on this one And so back in 2015 the Roush stage 3 Mustang MSRP for $55,235 with options you can go up to around $70,000 on this one believe it or not, but today you can now get a Roush stage 3 Mustang 2015 year for under $50,000 and that is quite a lot of bang for your buck Considering the power output on this one powering the stage 3 Roush is going to be a 5-liter Roush supercharged V8 engine putting out 670 horsepower 145 pound-feet of torque sent to the rear wheels through a standard six-speed manual transmission and the six-speed manual transmission Is actually quite nice and I've always liked the MT82 from the 2015 to 2017 model year It definitely shifted very nice easy to find the grab points and they are very short throws as well So if you're thinking with 670 horsepower, it may be difficult to drive a six-speed It is not you will get used to it and it is actually quite nice paired up in this one But so with all those specs 0 to 60 time comes in an approximately 3.7 seconds and so therefore you guys know what I have to do next as always Let's give this thing a little bit of gas here and let's do a quick little acceleration test See how quickly we can get this 2015 Roush stage 3 up to speed It is a blustery 40 degrees today, so there was a slight bit of spin there But in normal conditions with this one the Roush stage 3 does come with cooper rs 3 tires So they are quite sticky again, but it's not freezing temperatures outside with a set of drag radials on this one This could very easily be a 10 second car, but so then you may be wondering what else does the Roush stage 3 Mustang actually give you Let me tell you probably one of my favorite parts the Roush active exhaust And that button is going to be just to the right of the shifter And I will say the button itself kind of looks like an afterthought it doesn't really match with anything But the fact that it has an active exhaust is pretty darn sweet It's so essentially what that does since the Roush does add quad tips in the back the standard Mustang GT 15 through 17 year Actually just had the dual exhaust outlets with dual tips So the Roush did add the quad tips as they are today that comes standard But you can actually see within those quad tips if you have it in let's say the normal touring exhaust mode It is going to open up the valves on the outside then when you put it in that track mode It is going to open up the valves on the inside of those quad tips. So you guys know what we have to do next Let me actually give you a comparison between that touring active exhaust mode and the track active exhaust mode So as always here is that exhaust clip And so as we are carving through these back roads in pa here that leads me into the suspension and handling on this one Because once again Roush has modified that to make the standard GT even better For example, there is now a Roush three way coilover suspension setup with heavy duty half shafts and again stick your Cooper RS 3 tires and when it comes to the steering feel just like the standard Mustang GT There is a steering mode toggle switch just in front of the shifter there But it's going to give you normal mode sport mode and comfort and honestly in a car like the Roush I really see no reason to put it in any other steering feel mode other than sport It is a heavier feel to it when you put it in that sport mode and that is also the mode I leave it on in my own personal 2019 Mustang GT as well So that is definitely going to be the one you want to go with there But so then I've been continuously mentioning all the performance upgrades that the Roush stage 3 gives you There are actually several exterior Interior upgrades that this one is going to give you as well So let's touch on the exterior a little bit on this one And so a lot has been added to the aesthetics on the Roush stage 3 as well including an abundance of Roush logos They could be found absolutely everywhere on this one. Let me demonstrate But perhaps my favorite aesthetic upgrade on the Roush stage 3 Is the stylized dash plaque just above the glove box there So with that you're going to find Jack Roush's signature, but just below that there is a serial number specific to the Roush Mustang So what those numbers actually mean the first 15 is for the model year This is a 2015 that's going to be what the 15 stands for at the very end of it You're going to see the RS 3 that's going to be Roush stage 3 because there are three different stages 1 2 and 3 3 is the one that gives you the supercharger So that's definitely going to be the one you want but in the middle that 0 0 3 9 That is going to mean that this was the 39th Roush stage 3 to actually roll off the assembly line in 2015 So it is definitely pretty cool that they assign a serial number It definitely makes the car more unique and makes the owner even more proud to own a Roush So that is probably my favorite aesthetic addition to this one But to go along with that there's also a revised instrument cluster That was one of the first things I noticed there is Roush specific gauges. That is pretty cool There's also illuminated door sills and you can get Roush specific Recaro bucket seats Although the ones we have today though are the basic leather, but they are heated and ventilated So I am appreciative of that on this super cold Pennsylvania day we have today But make your way back out to the exterior on that front fascia You're going to find the stage number within that front grille So that's going to be what the three stands for up there And there is going to be a Roush specific front lip Roush specific hood as well There's also body side scoops that have been added These side scoops do continue on to the rear quarter window back there as well And you got the Roush badging on the front fender and that side L design decal That is also going to come standard on the Roush And I actually do think that decal looks quite nice on this one But also Roush specific 20 inch wheels That is also going to be an addition on this one But in the end Roush actually has a very cool history with Jack Roush Founding the company after being an employee for Ford Motor Company for quite a while And Roush is based in Livonia, Michigan They've been doing the racing thing for quite a while now Racking up championships with NASCAR, NHRA drag racing And 24 hours of Daytona as well So what I'm getting at basically is the name Roush is definitely synonymous with racing at this point And this Roush stage 3 is definitely a blast to drive A few minutes later Alright you guys so the question now becomes I want to hear from you guys because I love hearing your opinions in the comments section What would you rather get a brand new 2019 Ford Mustang GT With the ability to really modify it how you will Or would you rather get the 2015 Roush stage 3 Mustang with 670 horsepower And honestly probably an absolute blast in warmer temperatures Today it's 40 degrees out so we had a little bit of slipping going on there But with some warmer temperatures of course that would not have happened And quite honestly like I said I can easily see that being a 10 second car at the track Assuming the conditions are right of course So anyways I know this is probably a shorter video But I do want to hear from you guys Let me know which one you would pick in the comments section below And as always appreciate you guys watching Feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen there And I will see you guys in the next video Stay Gold There's the salesman once again What's up man? Oh wow it sits We're getting there Oh my god that's amazing
