Ford ROUSH Mustang Stage 3 (Super Street)

The Ford ROUSH Mustang Stage 3 is a supercharged, street-legal muscle car built to turn the modern Mustang into a far more serious weapon. Based on the S550-generation Mustang, ROUSH’s Stage 3 package layers in big power, aggressive aerodynamics, upgraded suspension, and an unmistakably attitude-heavy presence.

In the Simulator Feel

The ROUSH Stage 3 is a brutal, high-torque street bruiser that rewards commitment and smooth hands more than finesse. With big supercharged punch and rear-wheel-drive chassis dynamics, it delivers the classic muscle-car experience: huge acceleration, loads of rear tire load-up, and plenty of drama when traction starts to fade. It’s fast in a straight line, but you’ll need to respect the weight and power if you want to stay tidy through technical sections.

Engine & Sound: The supercharged Coyote V8 has a deep, angry tone with a loud blower whine layered over the exhaust note. It feels muscular from low rpm and builds with a hard, forceful surge toward redline. The sound in sim is exactly what you’d hope for from a modified Mustang — loud, raw, and very much in-your-face.

Handling Characteristics:

  • Cornering: Stable enough at speed, but the front end can feel heavy and push wide if you enter too hot.

  • Traction: Strong in a straight line, but wheelspin is easy to trigger on corner exit, especially on cold tires or low-grip surfaces.

  • Braking: Good stopping power, though the car’s mass means you need to brake early and progressively.

  • Top Speed: Very strong thanks to the boosted V8, with serious acceleration that makes it a blast on fast circuits and drag-style runs.

Driving Style Tip: Drive it with respect and patience. Roll into the throttle early but not abruptly, and use clean inputs to keep the rear tires hooked up. It shines on flowing road courses and fast, open tracks where its power can stretch its legs without too many tight hairpins.

Livery & Aesthetics: The ROUSH Stage 3 looks every bit the part, with a more aggressive body kit, bold vents, splitter and wing work, and a distinctly modern American muscle stance. It has that tuner-special vibe that makes it stand out immediately in a showroom or on track.

Whether you're carving up a road course or just enjoying the soundtrack of a supercharged V8, the Ford ROUSH Mustang Stage 3 brings big power, big noise, and big personality to sim racing.
