Now that the 2015 Ford Mustang has broken out of the paddock, tuners are jockeying for attention as they roll out their takes on the new pony. Last week, we got news from Saleen on its steroidal Mustang S302 lineup, yesterday was Hennessey's turn to show off its 717-hp HPE700 Mustang, and now Roush rides in with its line of RS Mustangs for 2015.
Unlike the new offerings from Saleen and Hennessey, the basic Roush RS, RS Stage 1, and RS Stage 2 are primarily cosmetic kits for Mustang V-6, EcoBoost, and GT models. The standard components of each RS model include new front and rear fascias, new grillework, driving lamps, side-sill extensions, a rear spoiler, embroidered floor mats, and a smattering of brand fireworks on the fenders, grille, tailgate, windshield, dashboard, and engine bay. Stage 1 vehicles also tout a performance exhaust system, while Stage 2 cars get all of the above plus a set of gorgeous five-spoke 20-inch "Quicksilver" wheels and Cooper RS3 performance tires. (The rolling stock is available as an upgrade on the other two models). Optional on all are a hood scoop, window scoops, billet pedals, a ball shifter, Roush gauges and Roush door sill plates. Stage 1 and Stage 2 models can also be upgraded with a reverse sensing system and active exhaust.

While their specs may be modest compared to the musclebound Mustangs from Saleen and Hennessey, the Roush Mustangs kick ass in pricing: RS upgrades start at $4495, while the RS1 modifications add $5895 to the bottom line, and RS2 models will set you back $8495, plus the cost of the Mustang.
