During World War II, the P-51 Mustang was hailed as a savior of aviation and certainly played a major part in ending the conflict. This long range fighter escorted Allied bombers over Europe and Hermann Goering, the head of Germany’s Luftwaffe, summarized the plane’s role by stating, “The day I saw P-51 Mustangs flying over Berlin, I knew the jig was up.” Today, at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the jig is up for the rest of the Ford Mustang tuners as ROUSH Performance unveiled the P-51A Mustang automobile which, at 510 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque, is sure to be held in as high a regard as the airplane has been in the history books and will help to save the streets from the invasion of the foreign brands.

ROUSH Performance, America’s leading powertrain engineering group, has added an additional 30 horsepower to their legendary ROUSHcharger system for the Ford Mustang GT; this increases the output of this supercharger system to a total of 445 horsepower under the hood. The additional horsepower comes from changing to a slightly smaller pulley and an enhanced PCM calibration to take advantage of the higher spin rate. Customers with a previously installed ROUSHcharger can upgrade to this High Boost Pressure Pulley by ordering part number 402863 which has a suggested retail price of $389.00.

ROUSH Performance continues to pay tribute to Ford’s legendary history with the 428R* Mustang, a limited edition pony car which follows in the tremendous success of their 427R* model introduced last year and which remains in the ROUSH product lineup for the 2008 model year. The ROUSH 428R* Mustang will arrive at participating Ford dealerships in October 2007.

There is a lot more than meets the eye at Roush, and a whole lot more goes into designing, engineering, manufacturing and assembling the Mustangs, F-150 pickups, high-performance parts and world class crate engines than people realize. Roush recently opened their doors for an unprecedented look at what goes on in the areas that people rarely get a chance to see. Check out the six videos after the fold and take a tour behind the scenes of Roush Performance.

Roush recently announced the Roush BlackJack Mustang as a limited run 100 production run model Ford Mustang. The car will surely be a highly sought after collectors item for Ford Mustang enthusiasts looking for a piece of Roush History. However Roush has just announced that there will be only one Roush BlackJack Convertible Mustang produced out of those 100 and it will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Given the lucky number 13 as a serial number it will go up for bidding on the 24th of March at the Celebrity Fight Night event in Phoenix with the proceeds benefiting many different charities.

More news from Roush Performance as they are set to release eight new styles of wheels for the 2005-2007 Mustang. Each wheel will be offered in many different finishes and castings and will come with a 45mm offset. You will also be able to purchase tire and wheel combos that come pre-mounted. While you will get to choose the styling, the size of the new wheels is rather limiting with seven out of eight being 20×8.5-inches with the RR03 being the only smaller one at 18×10-inches.

Roush Performance has a new offering for Mustang owners who want to add more flavor to the exterior of their Mustang. The Roush Rear Window Louver for the 2005 and up Mustangs comes in one piece and is designed for strength and overall smoothness due to the heat-treated aluminum and powder coated matte black finish in order to increase it’s scratch resistance.

Jack Roush has had his name associated with the Ford Mustang since he debuted the first Roush Mustang at the 1995 Sema show. Roush has come along way since 1995 and has now introduced the Roush 427R Mustang based on the new S197 Mustang platform. The Roush 427R is the most powerful Roush Mustang in existence producing 427 Horsepower, hence where the number 427 comes from in the name.
