Another day, another limited-edition Ford Mustang for sale. This time, our folks at Petty’s Garage Team are putting together two really special packages for 2015 Mustang GT fans, running on a very limited production of 143 units. What makes this modified Mustang so special?

First, Petty’s Garage did not plan to put out this masterpiece for sale –at first. The first model was displayed at the SEMA Auto Show in Las Vegas, and it drew so much attention they decided to give it a shot. Growing interest and the right mechanics gave birth to two modified versions: Stage 1 and Stage 2.

Stage 1 Mustang GT will include a Ford Racing supercharger, custom engine adjustments, a MagnaFlow exhaust, and other upgrades. The updates bring the Stage 1 GT to 627 horsepower territory.

Also, the Stage 1 comes in any color, along with a reworked rear spoiler, 20-inch HRE Flowform wheels, center-exist exhaust, and other improvements to the interior.

Stage 2 gets upgraded brake calipers (for enhanced capacity for extreme performance vehicles), three-piece forged aluminum brakes, and a custom two-tone paint job. Out of the 143 production run, only 43 will be Stage 2 Mustangs.

Orders for the new Stage 1 and Stage 2 2015 Mustang GT can be placed at your local Ford dealership.

Ford and legendary racing team Roush Performance have co-developed a top-of-the-line supercharger kit for 2015 Mustang GT. The collaboration includes a limited warranty, distribution through Ford dealers, and the quality of knowing the supercharger was designed and built for your Mustang. Let’s find out what makes the Roush Performance package so attractive.

Roush Performance is promising all the necessary components along with engine calibration to deliver a whooping 600hp. Their software, developed using Ford’s own racing test facilities and calibrators, is the key to the performance and drivability the supercharger delivers.

2015 Ford Mustang GT already comes with the powerful, loud and fast 5.0 V8, with great acceleration and torque. This engine itself produces 435 hp thanks to its enhanced intake and exhaust valves and new cylinder heads. The Roush package also includes exterior enhancements like a hood scoop, heat extractors, quad split exhausts and more.

Mustang fans should take advantage of the Ford-Roush collaboration, as engineers of both teams worked together to ensure all parts and systems work just like in a brand new car. While there are other after-market tune-ups and add-ons, only Roush can guarantee the highest quality and compatibility for your 2015 Mustang GT.

Don’t forget to stop by your local Ford dealership and test drive the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang, also available in EcoBoost and V6 models.

2015 Mustang Performance | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans

With the all-new 2015 Mustang scheduled to hit dealerships in December, the final specs are rolling in. Several car magazines have done their own tests and they all agree on one thing: the new Mustang is awesome! The 2015 Mustang comes in three engine configurations: a 3.7 liter V6 , a 4-cylinder turbo-charged Ecoboost, and a 5.0 GT.

The standard entry level engine is a 3.7 V6, and it was the first to introduce twin Ti-VCT technology to the Mustang lineup. The V6 produces 300 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft of torque, which ensure a fun ride. However, the best features are its standard equipment, which for 2015 include an independent-rear suspension, 17″ aluminum wheels, HID headlamps with signature lighting, dual exhaust, LED tail lamps, leather-wrapped steering wheel and hand brake, and more. The V6 is definitely a great options for first time sports car buyers.

Next comes the four-cylinder EcoBoost, which produces more power and torque than the V6 while getting better gas mileage. The 2.3 is Mustang’s first EcoBoost as it now joins the rest of the Ford family. EcoBoost engines are designed to perform better than bigger legacy engines while reducing emissions. Thanks to its twin turbo-chargers and a new exhaust system, the EcoBoost Mustang hopes to be the most popular model.

Finally, we meet the powerful 5.0 V8. This GT model tops at 435 horsepower and 400 lb. of torque, thanks to improvements like a new intake manifold. The GT’s performance package includes 19 in wheels, a larger radiator, Brembo brakes, and updated suspension for better stability.

Remember to stop by Lamarque Ford and test drive the all-new Mustang next month.
