As if the most powerful production Ford Mustang doesn't have enough power straight from the factory, Jack Roush's aftermarket company, ROUSH Performance, has laid out some opportunity to help quench the insatiable desire for more power.  Of course, the ROUSHcharger™ blower setup is one solution, but there are some less aggressive options offered for slightly milder applications.  The options are described in detail below, so take a closer look at what Jack's got in store for us...well, at least those of us lucky enough to have a Shelby GT500 in the stable.

The most powerful production Ford Mustang to date, the Shelby GT500, will lead the pack in the Ford 400 racing event.

Does it stand for 427hp, or 427 Reasons to sell every possession you own just to acquire one? With over 250,000 Ford Mustangs sold by Ford every year, it is no surprise that owners want to make their cars stand out, and aftermarket companies take advantage of this with their many offerings. One such offering comes from Roush, with its different "stages" of Mustangs. However, Roush has brought a completely different animal to the pony show with its new 427R. Boasting 427hp, 391lb-ft of torque and devilishly good looks, the 427R will make an entrance whether it is sitting at a drive in, or tearing down the quarter mile. There's much more in store--check out the video and all the photos below!
