LIVONIA, Michigan — The 2012 Roush Stage 3 Mustang debuted Friday, with the accent on new graphics and design options.
A new Roush vehicle configurator lets the curious play around with the new RS3 paint colors, graphic striping and wheel options. The RS3 is available with eight choices for the base vehicle color, six stripe colors and six stripe accent colors.
The "redefined" graphics introduce new metallic colors using "automotive paint-grade materials," said Roush in a statement. "The result is a breathtakingly deep tone to the RS3's graphics," Roush said.
The 2012 Roush Stage 3 Mustang is expected to start around $59,945, says the Ford tuner. It should arrive at Roush-authorized Ford dealers in late April. It is not for sale in California and other states requiring CARB emissions standards, however.
The 2012 Roush Stage 3 Mustang gets a supercharger that increases the base horsepower from 412 to 540 on the 5.0-liter V8 engine. Roush said the RS3 is only available with the six-speed manual transmission.

The market for premium Mustang is way over saturated. They all beginning to look the same to me, therefore, I am loosing interest overall. Just don't feel like keeping up with the development anymore...Too bad, I did like the Mustang alot...

I like how everyone uses a bunch of 3DSMax and Photoshop instead of actual picture taking.
There are TONS of photos of this thing: http://wot.motortrend.com/roush-stage-3-mustang-pumps-shelby-rivaling-540-horsepower-68705.html
Looks like they just chose to use the rendered one on this site?

I usually hate Roush's products because they are so tacky. This, however, is pleasantly restrained. Nice. Needs different colors, though.
