Ok as you know I had Green VS Black Bullitt thread a while ago .. But they sold the Green one so .... Now a Stage 1 09 has been traded in at the Dealership in our city, and the dealership is a Roush dealer by the way ... Should I stay away from the Stage 1, is it any better than the Bullitt?? and remember this will just be a DailyDriver ..never see a track except from the parking lot .. Ohh miles on are about the same ...

The Bullit will perform better since it has a 3.73 rear gear, a slightly better suspension, and a little more horsepower. The Stage 1 is a visual upgrade only. It is up to you whether you like the more understated looks and better performance of the Bullit or the more attention grabbing Stage 1. Buy the one you like better, it is not up to us, we won't be driving either one. I personally like the Bullit better.

You still looking for a Mustang?!!

If it was my choice, I would buy the Bullitt. Like ct07gt said, the Roush Stage 1 is just an expensive trim level.

Trade in that GTO. If the black Bullitt has been there that long you might get a great deal.

What's the dealership name and location?

The Stage 1 is like 5 miles away and the Bullitt is more like 85 miles away .. Problem is Im finding to many good deals on the more rare Mustangs ... I got Shelby Gts, GTCS,2010 GTs, all m5 and autos .. and I been on night shift for almost a month ...

Just a heads up, the '09 Roush had exhaust added.
And depending on options on the car:
Short Throw Shifter
Lowering springs
14" Brakes
Strut Tower Brace

So it could be not entirely appearance, but I have no idea how likely those options were added to Stage 1 Roushes.

The brakes are an unlikely option, it is relatively rare on even the 427R models which are supercharged. It was over $2000 for the option so it is unlikely someone would want the big brakes without the suspension that comes with the Stage 2. The springs are a cheap upgrade to do later so they should not influence your decision much. The exhaust and shifter are the only ones that I would think are likely to be installed.
