Coming Soon from Roush: P-51B & RS3/C

Look for two new products from Roush for 2009: The P-51B and RS3/C. The P-51B will be limited to 51 copies. Dealerships are accepting orders now for the P-51B. A prototype of the RS3/C is below.

I think it stands for Roush Stage 3/Cooper Tire, since Cooper was just announced as the official tire of Roush Performance.

That is pretty funny but I think Roush made it abit more clear that there were going to be 'other' P51 versions. Problem is there are 151 P-51A owners. Now they only build 51 P-51B's. Which limited version would I buy? Easy answer!!! Putting it all in perspective, these are just cars and Roush is one aftermarket builder. They build to make money and we buy to enjoy. If they quit building we would complain, if they build too many versions, we complain. Its just the nature of the beast!!!

That RS3/C is just another car Roush is building which is in conjunction with Cooper Tires research on a new next generation tire.
