Roush’s new 427R 2010 Mustang is powered by a 4.3L V8 that has been supercharged to produce 435-hp. Not bad seeing as it allows you to do 0 to 60 mph in the low 4-second range. But what if you feel that isn’t enough horsepower for you to put the all the other pony cars on the road to rest.

Well, Roush today introduced something called the 2010 Roush Stage 3 Mustang, which uses the same engine from the 2009 Roush P-51B Mustang. However, with a couple of modifications, including the next-generation R2300 ROUSHcharger, the engine now produces 540-hp with a peak torque of 510 lb-ft.

Suggested retail price for the 2010 Roush Stage 3 Mustang comes in at $59,945. Roush will produce a limited 103 units of the Stage 3 Mustang so you better hurry if you want one.

However, if you don’t want to pay all that money and don’t really care about 18-inch wheels and a body kit, Roush is also offering the 540RH which it says is “intended to be a ’sleeper’ car.” It gets the same 540-hp along with a new suspension package, front and rear springs, front and rear stabilizer bars and jounce bumpers – all starting at $46,145.

Press Release:

ROUSH® introduces a pair of new 2010 Mustang models, each with 540 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque ready to be unleashed by the touch of the throttle.

The 2010 ROUSH Stage 3™ Mustang will once again take its rightful place atop the hierarchy of Jack Roush’s lineup. The vehicle comes fully-loaded with the ROUSH body components; resonator exhaust; four-piston front brakes with 14-inch rotors and painted rear calipers with slotted rotors; and the new upper billet grille which removes the fog lamps and streamlines the appearance of the new Mustang while improving cooling performance. Interior enhancements include ROUSH leather seats with an embroidered Jack Roush signature; four-piece performance pedals; ROUSH illuminated sill plates; short throw shifter with black or white ball; and a new interior Stage 3 badge with the car’s serial number engraved.

The 2010 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang will ride on 18-inch chrome wheels with high-performance Cooper RS3 tires; 20-inch chrome wheels with Cooper RS3 tires are one of the few options available on this model. The suspension package includes ROUSH front struts, rear shocks, front and rear springs, front and rear stabilizer bars and jounce bumpers.

“The ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang has traditionally been among the halo vehicles of our lineup and I’m really proud that it sits atop the pecking order once again,” said Jack Roush. “This new iteration of the Stage 3 represents our highest horsepower and most sophisticated ROUSH Mustang yet, and is sure to resonate among our fans.”

The suggested retail for the 2010 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang is $59,945*. The 2010 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang will have a limited production run of only 103 vehicles.

The second Mustang unveiled with the 540 horsepower powerplant is the new 2010 ROUSH 540RH™, a limited content, full powertrain vehicle. Also known as the Hammer®, this car comes armed with massive horsepower, a ROUSH rear decklid spoiler, and short throw shifter with a choice of white or black ball, the 540RH is a stoplight slayer.

Proving just how quick this car can be on the optional 18-inch Cooper RS3 tires, ROUSH engineers recorded an 11.8-second elapsed time at 121 mph during testing at Milan (Mich.) Dragway in early September.

“The new ROUSH 540RH is really intended to be a ’sleeper’ car,” Roush explained. “It will be purposely built with minimal content as it was designed for the buyer who wanted the ROUSH horsepower but with a blank canvas that can be customized into their own personal one-of-a-kind ride.”

The 2010 ROUSH 540RH has a new suspension package which includes front and rear springs, front and rear stabilizer bars and jounce bumpers, and a subtle tone-on-tone striping package. All this comes with a suggested retail starting at $46,145* when built on a base Ford Mustang GT chassis.

Both the 2010 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang and the 2010 ROUSH 540RH Mustang use the same engine that debuted in the 2009 ROUSH P-51B™ Mustang. In order to get this type of power from the Ford 4.6L, 3-valve engine, ROUSH technicians replace many of the internal components with stronger parts including forged aluminum pistons (with an increased dish to lower the compression ratio from 9.8 to 8.6), forged steel H-Beam connecting rods and a forged steel crankshaft. The fuel rails are changed, as are the fuel injectors and an upgraded fuel pump. ROUSH also upgrades the clutch and includes a custom-calibration for the ECM to manage the performance of the next-generation R2300 ROUSHcharger®.

As is standard with all new ROUSH Mustangs, both cars will come with the anti-wheel hop kit installed during the assembly process. This part (No. 401788) is an outstanding addition to any 2005-2010 Ford Mustang GT.

Both vehicles are covered by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty and will be available with a manual transmission only. The 2010 ROUSH Stage 3 is expected to start production by the end of September; the 2010 ROUSH 540RH should start showing up on dealer lots in October.

It took Roush just 11 months to complete its latest creation based on the 2010 Ford Mustang and after 11 months of impatient waiting, Roush has taken the wraps off of its 427RT Mustang. Under the hood is a Ford 4.3L V8 that has been supercharged to produce a total of 435-hp.

That gives the Roush 427RT Mustang the ability to go from 0 to 60 mph in the low 4-second range with a quarter mile run in the 12 seconds range. Going from 60 mph to 0 takes less than 115 feet.

In addition to the car, ROUSH now has more than 150 different parts which fit the 2010 Ford Mustang and allow buyers to personalize their vehicle according to their preferences.

Roush said that it will offer three versions at launch with prices ranging from $34,847 for the Stage 1T model and $43,051 for the 427RT.

Press Release:

ROUSH® EXPANDS PROPANE VEHICLE LINEUP WITH UNVEIL OF LIQUID PROPANE INJECTED F-250 PICKUP

LAS VEGAS (January 22, 2009) – Hammering home their success in offering a propane-powered truck, ROUSH® Performance unveiled yesterday at the 2009 International Builders’ Show the next product in the lineup – the 2010 ROUSH Liquid Propane Injected F-250.

The ROUSH propane-powered F-250 immediately received considerable interest among the attendees who had been looking for a medium-duty truck that could offer both lower operating costs and greenhouse emissions.

According to research provided by the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC), propane is the most widely-used alternative fuel today, with more than 10 million vehicles around the world using it as a fuel. Operating costs typically range from five to 30 percent less than those of a gasoline-powered fleet, and on average create 20 percent less nitrous oxide, up to 60 percent less carbon monoxide and fewer particulate emissions.

“We have had tremendous interest in the ROUSH propane-powered F-150 and sold several hundred vehicles and conversion kits, but more than that we had people tell us that they would be much more interested if there was a medium-duty pickup available,” said Joe Thompson, vice-president and general manager of ROUSH Performance. “With that in mind, we went to PERC who has been our strong supporter in developing propane vehicles and took the next steps to expanding the ROUSH lineup with the F-250. It is gratifying to see that the response has already been so positive.”

With deliveries anticipated to start in the third quarter, ROUSH will make this product available in two forms; customers can choose either a complete ROUSH-assembled vehicle which will have a 3-year/36,000 mile warranty, or a conversion kit to fit existing trucks in the field which also carries the same warranty. The conversion kit will also fit 2009 F-250 pickups that may be in service.

The order banks for both the vehicle and the conversion kit, both of which are true OEM-quality in terms of engineering and materials, will open on January 26. Among the components changed are the fuel tank with multi-valve fuel pump, stainless steel fuel lines, billet aluminum fuel rails, an upgraded custom ROUSH PCM calibration, and all necessary wiring, hardware and instructions.

The kit will have a retail price of $7,995, and qualifies for a federal tax credit of $5,000. There are also a number of state, regional and local tax credits and rebates available for the purchase and implementation of alternative fuel vehicles. Additionally, propane prices per gallon are normally significantly much lower than gasoline or diesel, and with the proper infrastructure in place a fleet user can qualify for a 50-cent tax credit per gallon used.

The ROUSH propane-powered F-250 will come standard with an in-bed tank offering 62-usable gallons of fuel. This will allow a range of approximately 500 miles depending on the chassis and driving habits. A under-bed propane tank will be available (with a range of approximately 250 miles) for users where range is not as important as bed capacity.

There will be no loss of horsepower, torque or towing capacity on the ROUSH propane-powered F-250 as compared to the truck’s gasoline-powered equivalent. The truck will have all federal, CARB and Canadian certifications.

ROUSH has long been considered as Detroit’s foremost Tier 1 advanced powertrain engineering company and well known for producing massive horsepower from gasoline engines. Now this same company has turned their resources towards helping fleet customers save money and reduce greenhouse gasses by utilizing propane as an engine fuel. The company launched a propane F-150 in 2007 and has plans for several additional vehicles over the next few years.

ROUSH has announced its second aviation-themed Mustang paying homage to the legendary World War II fighter planes. The 2009 P-51B Mustang joins the P-51A (seen last year) in ROUSH’s aviation inspired pony cars. The P-15B Mustang will see a limited production run of just 51 units but ROUSH is quick to say that it may build some extra units for the press and testing.

Power comes from a 4.6L supercharged V8 that pumps out 510-hp with a maximum torque of 510 lb-ft. Performance was increased with upgrades to the clutch and custom-calibration for the ECM to manage the performance of the TVS2300 ROUSHcharger. ROUSH also added 6-piston brakes and its Stage 3 suspension for extra stopping and handling power.

Appearance wise the 2009 P-51B Mustang comes in Vapor paint with Olive Drab green stripes. ROUSH designers added black-chrome wheels, a ROUSH vent pod gauge with a boost gauge, Cooper RS3 high-performance tires, a rear decklid and ROUSH’s 6-piece aerobody kit. Inside you’ll find P-51B badging on the shifter ball, floor mats and the leather seats.

Pricing for starts at $65,800. All ROUSH cars are available with a 3-year/36,000 mile warranty.

ROUSH 2009 P-51B Mustang:

A class action lawsuit was filed by Drew Conner of Bardonia, N.Y. and at least 100 other buyers, accusing FoMoCo and Roush Performance products of producing at least 100 more units of the 2007 Roush Stage 3 BlackJack. The owners claim that they paid $59,000 for their cars last year after Ford advertised only 100 units of the special-edition model would be made.

“The vehicles purchased by the plaintiff and the other class members were not as unique or rare as the defendants had stated them to be,” the complaint said according to Reuters. “Their value from scarcity and as collectors’ items were and are dramatically less than the buyers had been led to believe their value would be.”

The members of the class are seeking a jury trial and more than $12 million in damages. As if Ford didn’t have enough problems on their hands.
