Vehicle Description
2007 Roush Mustang 1 of 1!
This amazing Roush Mustang was a joint effort between Office
Deport, Roush Racing and #99 Nascar racer
Carl Edwards.
It was won in the Office Depot sweepstakes and then owned by two
caring owners.
It currently has 22907 Miles on it and is in impeccable original
condition.
What separates this car from other Roush Mustangs is clear
association with famed Driver # 99 Carl Edwards.
It is a visually striking car but also reasonably collectable.
THe mileage while not high for a 2007 Mustang or even Roush car of
that era does place the car in a value range
that opens it up to the average person which is quite cool.
Cosmetically and Mechanically it is in excellent and well
maintained condition
WIth its 410 Horsepower supercharged engine and it is a blast to
drive!
Engine: 4.6-Liter Single-overhead-cam V8

A great collector car that is in a price range you have to
love!

No doubt you've heard us gush about Roush performance efforts, and
anything Mustang, more times than you can count. And we think
that's just fine, especially when you put them together and a
Roush-tuned Mustang crosses our path. With race-car blood coursing
through its automotive veins, we found the latest Roush Stage 3
Mustang is the real deal.
If there are two things that the folks at Roush Performance know
how to pull out of car, it's horsepower and handling. And the 2007
Roush Stage 3 Mustang delivers train loads of both.
This over-the-top pony car pulls its horses from a heavily modified
Mustang GT 4.6-liter single-overhead-cam V8. It now sports a
supercharger and intercooler; plus free-flow intake manifolds and
air induction system, a larger radiator, and Roush calibrated
engine computer.
Output jumps to 415 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque. While
less than the Shelby GT 500, it's 115 horses and 65 pound feet more
than a stock Mustang GT.
The Mustang's stout 5-speed gearbox proves strong enough to handle
the extra power, though optional short throw shift kits and billet
shift knobs are available.
Standard, are great looking 18-inch billet aluminum wheels, with
sticky 275/40 tires, as are upgraded brakes that include 14-inch
front rotors, and 4-piston floating calipers. Suspension changes
include new, custom-tuned front struts, rear shocks, springs and
sway bars.
So it all looks good on the spec sheet, but how does it on real
pavement? Well we hit the gas at our test track and saw 60 in 5.1
seconds. The quarter mile ended in 13.6 seconds at 107
miles-per-hour, again, between the results of the GT and the Shelby
GT 500.
And while the stiff clutch offers tons of feedback, giving us the
control needed for smooth, clean launches, it's when the freight
train engine roars into higher revs that the Stage 3 really comes
into its own edgy personality.
Add in a throaty high-flow exhaust note and distinct supercharger
whine, and the Stage 3 proves a delight to all a car fan's senses.
And that's before it ever turns a corner. But it does, at West
Virginia's Summit Point Raceway, where the Stage 3 lives up to the
Roush reputation by delivering handling light years above the GT
and with more of a racer-feel than the Shelby GT 500.
Direction changes are quick and effortless, with just a touch of
front-end push at mid-corner, less than the Shelby. The retuned
suspension delivers superb feedback, and nearly flat cornering. In
fact, the balance of power and grip is so spot-on that you have to
work pretty hard to make the rear tires break loose.
Little effort is required for great braking too, as the
ABS-equipped big discs bring the car down from 60 in a short
average of 119 feet. There's plenty of feel through the firm pedal,
and rock solid stability even when you punch them hard in a
panic.
While the Stage 3 feels more secure than the GT 500 on the track,
its firmer setup makes it less comfortable on the streets. It's a
little noisier, and rides rougher. But it's still very strong,
rocking easily through traffic, and passing anything rolling with
just a nudge of the gas pedal.
We found overall performance to be very impressive. But, a little
extra pose doesn't hurt either, so Roush equipped the Stage 3 with
an aggressive 7-piece body kit that makes Mustang styling even more
of a head turner.
With its revised front fascia and deeper chin spoiler -
vintage-style hood scoop and optional racing stripes - and tall
duck-tail spoiler, the Stage 3 will stand out at any pony-car
gathering.
Interior trim hasn't been forgotten either, with our test car
sporting standard two-tone leather seating that's color-matched to
the body, and features Stage 3 embroidered logos. Plus Roush
white-face gauges, aluminum pedals, and custom floor mats. You can
also add an optional carbon trim kit to the dash and doors. And
even an official Roush tool kit to fill out the trunk.
The Stage 3 treatment adds $21,000 to the price of a Mustang GT for
a base of $47,370. While that big sticker is more than a Shelby GT
500, Roush has other Mustang packages for less, including the 427R
that still includes the supercharged V8.
The 2007 Roush Stage 3 Mustang delivers a competition street-car
persona that is a definite rush. And, that big money buys you big
performance from one of the biggest names in modern American
muscle.
