Powertrain Analysis
The 2001 Roush Stage 3 Mustang uses a 4.6-liter V8 with a single overhead camshaft valvetrain and 16 valves. Peak output is 360 HP at 5,250 rpm, while maximum torque reaches 375 lb-ft, equivalent to 508 Nm, at 3,000 rpm.
Forced induction is supplied by a Roots-type Eaton M90 supercharger. The induction system incorporates an air-to-water intercooler, with the torque peak calibrated at 3,000 rpm and the power peak occurring at 5,250 rpm.
A 5-speed manual transmission transfers power to the rear wheels. The rear drivetrain includes a limited-slip differential, and the published 0-60 mph acceleration time is approximately 4.3 seconds.
Chassis & Dynamics
The Roush suspension package combines specially valved Bilstein dampers with progressive-rate springs. Front and rear sway bars use increased stiffness, while subframe connectors reinforce the New Edge Mustang platform structure.
Front braking hardware consists of the Roush/Alcon package with 14-inch slotted brake rotors and 4-piston calipers. This front brake configuration is paired with 18-inch Roush chrome wheels fitted with high-performance tires.
The exterior aerodynamic package includes a front fascia with integrated fog lights and wide lower air intakes. Rear aerodynamic components include a high-downforce wing and sculpted rear fascia, while the exhaust outlets exit through the side skirts ahead of the rear wheels.
Cockpit Equipment
The instrument panel uses Roush electro-luminescent white-face gauges. Shift control is revised with a Roush short-throw shifter and dedicated shift knob.
Interior trim includes leather sport seats with embroidered Roush logos, billet aluminum foot pedals, and custom floor mats. The exterior package also includes an integrated convertible styling bar.
