i think you can get the stage 1 and differant stages done after you buy the car through roush. So it very well might bearoush stage 1 as i doubt they would turn someone down for having a v6.
Sharp looking car though, love the drop.

yes the stage 1 roush is a nice looking V6 version. there are little engine mods but it still puts out about 190bhp. the stage 1 was just designed to look nice. althought thats a stage 3 front bumper. my front bumper is the REAL roush stage 1 bumper off the V6 roush. stages 2 & 3 are for the V8 models.

stage 1 was 17inch alloys, a lowered suspension and a side-mounted exhaust system. In addition, it came with an air dam, side skirts and a rear spoiler. Stage 2 upgraded Stage 1 with 18-inch alloy wheels and BF Goodrich Comp TA. The suspension was extensively modified with Bilstein shocks, High-rate springs, stiffer anti-roll bars and new control arms. Roush claimed it achieved 1.0g lateral acceleration and was on par with the Porsche 911 Turbo. Both Stage 1 and Stage 2 came with V6 or V8 engine options. The top of the line was the Stage 3, with 360Hp (268kW) and 375 ft-lbs (508Nm). The Stage 3 platform was essentially a heavily modified Mustang GT. The Ford Modular 4.6 L V8 was upgraded with an Eaton supercharger, a new intake manifold, high performing fuel injectors, an air-to-water intercooler and a lighter flywheel (on the manual transmission only).The Stage 3 was available in three packages: Sport, Rally and Premium.
