Poor Man's Rousch

Stage 1 was the appearance package. It's the body kit and wheels. Stage 2 got all that plus suspension and brake upgrades. Stage 3 was all of S1 and S2 plus the supercharger set up you have. Interior packages were options on all Stages of the Mustang.
Techincally, you have a Roush supercharged GT.

Does Roush have both a '"Appearance" Stage 1', and a '"Performance" Stage 1'? When I got the Roush supercharger, CAI, etc. performance equipment they sent me a dash plaque that say's "Stage 1 Performance". It doesn't seem to make sense to call a body kit "performance Stage 1", but rather "Appearance Stage 1"!
Very confusing!

Nope, Stage 1 is only a looks package other than exhaust (which is a minimal gain). I"m guessing they were just being nice tossing in the dash plaque.
Sport is body kit and exhaust.
Stage 1 is Sport plus wheels.
Stage 2 adds suspension and S2 brakes
Stage 3 adds more aggressive suspension/brakes and the supercharger set up.
All have interior upgrades as an option.

I finally figured out my confusion with the term "Stage 1". The term stage one is also used for Roush "Phased R2300" Supercharger Kits. Phase 1 refers to the lowest H.P. in a supercharger kit which can be upgraded to Stage 2, etc, at a later date with an upgrade kit. In my cars case Phase 1 (460 H.P.) is legal in Calif., but Phase 2 (475 H.P.) is not.
Incidently, do you know the difference in the Supercharger Kits sold by Roush as compared to what is found on a factory '07 & '08 Shelby GT 500. I considered buying a Shelby GT 500 (470 H.P.) that only had 2800 miles on it. It had more torque off the line, but frankly my supercharged 4.7 liter. (460 H.P.) pulled a little better from 25 MPH on. It had no advantage other than the Shelby badges.
Thanx

I can tell you IM happy for the clarity on the whole Roush Stage 1 2 3 deal.
Was not able to get answers till now.
I know my Roush is all show- and no "extra" go- but I have to say I love my ride and it gives me an opportunity to tune it up myself.
CAI next for me.
Any Roush Convertibles out there? I dont see many.

Very sharp 4.6L Roushcharged GT you have there.
The Pre-11 GT500's are heavier, you might want to give an 11' a try to see how you like the lighter package. The block is aluminum now among other tweaks.
