Roush Performance has announced plans to introduce a full line of accessories for the upcoming 2010 Ford Mustang. By the time the new Mustang starts arriving at dealerships, the company will have a total of 35 different parts available with even more on the way.
According to Jack Roush "Ford has created a beautiful new car, and with the addition of the Roush parts an owner can have a vehicle that performs just as nice as it looks."
To that end the company will offer the ROUSHcharger, a supercharger that bumps the output of the Mustang GT's mediocre 4.6-liter V8 from 315hp and 325 lb-ft of torque to an impressive 445 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Roush is quick to point out that unlike many aftermarket systems, installation of the supercharger will not void Ford's factory warranty.
Some of the other parts that will be available when the Mustang launches are sport suspensions, brake kits, new exhaust systems, lowering springs, interior accessories, and the obligatory wheel and tire packages. Later on Roush will introduce a non-calibrated version of the R2300 ROUSHcharger as well as a variety of body kits and components.
For Roush fans that don't want to do the work themselves, the company will introduce their fifth generation of the Roush Mustang on March 18.
ROUSH® Performance has always been a leader in the high-performance parts industry, but never before in the history of the company have they been this far ahead on developing parts for a new model car.
Starting in early March, ROUSH® will have 35 different parts available for the new 2010 Ford Mustang, right around the same time that initial deliveries of the vehicle begin showing up on the Ford dealer lots.
"I am very proud of how quickly our engineering teams have been able to develop these new products for the 2010 Mustang," said Jack Roush. "Ford has created a beautiful new car, and with the addition of the ROUSH® parts an owner can have a vehicle that performs just as nice as it looks. Its simply amazing to think that a customer can buy a ROUSH part for his new car the same time it is being driven off the transporter at the dealer lot."
Among the initial parts that will be offered by ROUSH®, are:
-
Suspension Packages
-
Brake Kits
-
Resonator Exhaust & Tips
-
Lowering Springs
-
Interior Accessories – floor mats, sill plates, pedals and more
-
Wheel / Wheel & Tire Packages
-
Convertible Light Bar
The famous 445 horsepower, 400 lb.-ft. of torque ROUSHcharger® is expected to be available just a couple of weeks later in mid-March. As before, installation of this supercharger will not void any Ford factory warranty on the new Mustang. For those who really want to make their new pony gallop with the maximum horsepower, a non-calibrated version of the R2300 ROUSHcharger® will also be on the shelf around this same time.
For customers looking to enhance the exterior styling, the ROUSH® body kits and other painted components will be available for purchase in mid-April.
The ROUSH® high-performance parts program has been one of the highlights for the company. Even in the face of a challenging economy, the sales of ROUSH® parts still grew and had a record year. It is anticipated that the early availability of the 2010 Mustang parts will provide another boost to the program this year.
