People were very excited when they first set eyes on the ROUSH BlackJack at the Barrett-Jackson auction house.  Now, there's even more reason to join in on the excitement--the 430hp "Batman ride" version of the Ford Mustang will soon be produced in a limited run of just 100 cars, for sale to the public via ROUSH-authorized Ford dealerships.

 

 

This black-on-black car features a polished version of the ROUSHcharger supercharger that produces 430hp and 400lb-ft of torque; the largest numbers in the history of ROUSH Performance.

"I am involved with all the vehicles that ROUSH Performance builds, but the Stage 3 BlackJack is really the first one which was entirely my design and I am quite proud of how well it turned out," said Jack Roush. "When I drove the prototype around the NASCAR tracks last season it got a lot of attention, mainly due to the intimidating theme of the car. Of course, the distinctive rumble of a ROUSHcharged V-8 engine turns a lot of heads, too."

Aesthetics were not ignored on the BlackJack version of the ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang.  A 21 inch matte black stripe adorns the center of the black paint in addtion to the seven-piece ROUSH aerobody kit.  Polished billet aluminum accessories, such as radiator, oil and strut tower caps, are found throughout the engine compartment, which contributes to the exciting package for street or track driving.

 

Race-ready buyers will take note of the improved handling the BlackJack exhibits, due to the addition of the Stage 3 suspension package that upgrades the stock front struts, rear shocks, front and rear springs, front and rear sway bar and jounce bumpers for ROUSH-engineered high performance versions.

 

Interior upgrades include supple charcoal leather seating with an embroidered Stage 3 BlackJack logo, white electroluminescent gauges, billet aluminum pedal kit and short throw shifter with black shifter ball.  A ROUSH carbon fiber design dash trim kit and embroidered floor mats also come standard on the BlackJack.  The door sills have also been upgraded to authentic ROUSH applique.

 

To help compliment the authenticity of the Mustang, a ROUSH Stage 3 BlackJack serialized badge is riveted to the engine compartment, along with a Stage 3 signature badge that is personally engraved with the signature of the ROUSH Performance technician which hand-assembled the vehicle in the company's Livonia, MI, facility.  The 100 cars produces will also come with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Jack Roush.
