Vehicle Description
2014 Ford Mustang Roush Stage 3 Aluminator Coupe
There are a few names synonymous with performance Mustangs; Saleen,
Steeda, Shelby, and the house that Jack built...Roush. And what
Jack has done in terms of options is create stages, different
levels of modification that go from simple cosmetic and mechanical
enhancements to full on engine builds that are coupled with
suspension, exhaust, supercharging, and design in the King of the
Hill, the Stage III.
For consignment, perhaps the ace on top of the king of the hill,
the 2014 Roush Stage III Aluminator. This blue metallic beauty has
just 26,493 title verified actual miles and as we'll learn, pumps
out an astounding, ground pounding, awesome sounding 675
horsepower! This car is so special it just has to scream it out. It
says Roush on this car in 24 places, has a Stage III badges in 7
places, a Roush R in 4 spots and the best part of all Jack's real
handwritten signature in 2 places. For the Mustang or Roush
enthusiast, this is an absolute low production show piece.
Exterior
Lowered onto 20-inch Roush wheels, the Deep Impact Blue Metallic
pony is immediately set apart from mere pedestrian Mustangs. The
Magnum Gray stripe kit contrasts with the blue and adds a track car
ambiance to the appearance. A wide hood scoop is flanked by rear
facing heat extractor vents, all fronted by a custom grille with
horizontal slats and a Stage 3 emblem. The door handles, mirrors,
and quarter window covers are body colored and the rear wing
reaches way back to grab some downforce. Jack's printed signature
is on the rear valance which also houses the mock gas cap with the
distinctive black and red Roush "R". The trapezoid shaped exhaust
tips fit the sculpted openings of the rear diffuser. To blend all
the black and blue in the back, the taillights are trimmed in black
with clear LED inserts. It all looks very, very good and it's
obvious this car has been pampered. We note a small scratch, one
that's been touched up, a chip near the wheel arch, and some curb
rash on the chrome Roush wheels.
Interior
We open the door and are greeted with standard Charcoal door panels
that do not veer from the GT. Our attention turns to the Recaro
bucket seats which are heavily bolstered and gapped for a racing
harness. The adjustments are manually controlled which likely saves
some weight. The rear seats are split buckets with similar
bolstering on a narrower scale but with tall headrests which will
catch your cranium when this car accelerates. The Roush gauges are
white faced with bold numbering and backlit in blue. They surround
a digital information screen that is black when the car is off. The
center stack is standard GT with a screen that displays an AM/FM/CD
radio that is XM and Bluetooth capable and navigation. On the
brushed aluminum dash on the passenger side is the printed Jack
Roush signature and a handwritten signature as well. Along with the
engraved metal medallion on the center console with the American
flag, Jack shows his pride of country by adding USA to his
signature. Also in the center console is the short throw shifter
with cueball like knob. The charcoal low pile carpet and headliner
are in minty condition as is the gray flannel lined trunk.
Drivetrain
As we mentioned this is the top of the food chain. An aluminum
block 5.0 liter Coyote V8 with a 2.3 liter TVS RoushCharger
connected to a high efficiency intercooler lurks under the scooped
and extractor equipped hood. To fuel this herd of horses is
electronic fuel injection and to regulate the air, a 110mm MAF and
twin bore 60mm throttle body. An MT82 6-speed manual transmission
feeds back to the Ford 8.8 rear with 3.73 and TracLoc gearing.
Naturally, power disc brakes are on all four hooves...er...wheels
which carry 275/35ZR20 tires with a late 2019 date code.
Undercarriage
The Roush tuned dual exhaust terminates at two Roush mufflers which
then send exhaust through the tips. Roush performance suspension
includes MacPherson struts in the front with coil springs and a
panhard bar on the 3-link in the rear. Some very minor surface rust
underneath most notably on the driveshaft but overall very clean
and unblemished.
Drive-Ability
"It's not my car....it's not my car...it's not my car". I had to
repeat this mantra so I wouldn't put my foot into the gas. I kept
it cool, rowing through just enough gears to get it going and test
all functions. It's actually mild mannered at slow speeds but that
supercharger is always poised with power just an ankle rotation
away. It performed well and all functions operate as you would
expect on a 26k mile vehicle. And it sounds like a herd of
stallions.
This is not your average Mustang. It's been massaged by one of the
top Ford massage parlors in the world, Roush Performance. And while
others opt for more mild versions of the shop's rub downs, this one
goes all out and pushes darn close to 700 horsepower. All we can
say is, if you're looking for the deep tissue treatment that you'll
feel in every muscle of your body and brain, this is the Roush to
buy.
