2020 Ford Mustang Roush Stage 3 Is GT500 Alternative You Can Get With Manual Transmission
A stick shift and 750 supercharged horses is a great combination in this tuned Mustang.
The new Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is one of the hottest cars you can buy right now. With a 760-horsepower supercharged V-8 and a host of performance-minded upgrades, it's the ultimate Mustang flagship, capable of outrunning virtually anything else on the road. But for people who have a passion for shifting their own gears, the GT500 has one fatal flaw: It's only available with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. The Roush Stage 3 Mustang fixes that problem.
Roush has a long history of building super-fast Fords. In addition to Mustang upgrades, the firm also sells equipment for F-Series trucks, as well as entire race-spec crate engines. The Stage 3 Mustang is one of the most extreme Roush packages available: Starting with a Mustang GT with the Performance Package, Roush adds its own Phase 2 supercharger and cold air intake, boosting the 5.0-liter V-8 to 750 horsepower and 670 lb-ft of torque — increases of 290 horsepower and 250 lb-ft over stock, respectively.
