With deliveries of the 2010 Ford Mustang scheduled to begin any day now, Roush Performance decided it would be a good time to unveil its latest tuning kits for the revamped pony car.
As usual, there are various stages of tune available. The Stage 1 kit is nothing more than an appearance package, while the Stage 2 kit adds a retuned suspension to the bodywork of the Stage 1 kit.
The car you see here is the top-dog 427R. It's force fed by a "Roushcharger" that bumps horsepower to 435 and torque to 400 pound-feet. All models ride on 18-inch wheels and Cooper Zeon tires with 20-inch wheels available as an option.

Your gonna need that Roushcharger just to keep up with the V8 in the competing pony cars.

Yes because the other "pony" cars are so lean and lightweight.

$45,000+ so you can keep up with a stock $31K Camaro SS.

@greenpony
The other pony cars have at least 100 more ponys... Even if it's just for bragging rights, 300 hp is no longer exotic or special. The game has moved on.

"Even if it's just for bragging rights, 300 hp is no longer exotic or special. The game has moved on."
So true Redliner as even the BASE Camaro has 300hp+. Ford has the tools in place to make a better base/GT Mustang but penny pinching is seriously limiting its potential.
