Roush Takes The Pole With The New 427r Trak Pak Mustang
 

LIVONIA, Mich. (July 20, 2007) - Jack Roush knows a thing or two about racing
and Mustangs. His road racing career includes more than 110 wins and 20 national
championships, and this vast expertise is evident throughout the latest special
edition Mustang offering from ROUSH Performance - the 2008 ROUSH 427R Trak Pak.

Designed for the daily driver who enjoys pushing his car to the limits on open
track days, the ROUSH 427R Trak Pak Mustang has plenty of specialized content to
accommodate the unique needs of those who like driving up to the edge on the
racetrack in a safe, controlled environment.

With the addition of the intercooled ROUSHcharger* the 427R Trak Pak Mustang has
435 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque, plenty of power to quickly get up to
speed on the straightaways. The cooling system has been enhanced with a black
bar high flow front grille and radiator cooling shields. There is a functional strut tower brace under the hood to help
strengthen the chassis and decrease unwanted twisting.

The suspension system has been completely revamped to easily manage the twists
and turns of a road course. The ROUSH 427R Trak Pak suspension includes
adjustable front and rear shocks, front and rear springs, front and rear
stabilization bars, front and rear jounce bumpers and adjustable camber/caster
plates.

To whoa this pony down ROUSH adds 6-piston front calipers with 14-inch,
two-piece slotted front rotors and slotted rear rotors. The brake pads are
replaced with high-performance racing quality versions, and the new ROUSH brake
cooling system and high temperature brake fluid will ensure that the brakes will
be ready when you need them the most.

The ROUSH three-piece aerobody kit gives the car a menacing look as it roars
past the other cars on the track, and consists of a front fascia, front chin
spoiler and hood scoop. The ROUSH 427R Trak Pak Mustang will also be available with an optional functional, adjustable rear carbon fiber spoiler, which
in testing, provided additional rear downforce. The car rides on 18-inch forged
wheels painted a dark charcoal and mounted to ultra-performance tires for
maximum grip on the racetrack. The functional hood pins, unique graphics and
badging add to the overall styling of the car.

Inside the cockpit the driver will immediately notice the addition of the new
three-gauge dash pod with engine oil temperature, coolent temperature and a
boost gauge. A shift light has also been integrated into this dash pod as well.
The ROUSH sport leather seating, short throw shifter with retro-style ball, and
four-piece performance pedal kit help to round out the interior styling.

"There is a lot of innovation in these cars that came directly from what we used
in my Trans-Am and IMSA racing days and to see it transferred to a street car
and for open track use is extremely gratifying," said Jack Roush. "There are no
other Mustangs on the market....

:hmm: . . . This might be my favorite +05 Mustang!! :nice:

Maybe a wing delete for the street, but other than that I REALLY like this Roush!

Thanks Scott!!

I definitely agree, I really love this car and would love to get my hands on one.

I kind of like it too. Wish the hood scoop was functional or
changed to a vented style hood.
Agree that the wing could be deleted unless it was going to be your serious "track-dog' car.

They look so much better with only one set of fog lamps.

Not on my list of favorite new cars and I own a similiar version. I'm thinking they will look slightly different once in the showroom...... We will see!!

Good to see the Track Pak adding to the supsension line up and refining it.
ROUSH also further refining the output of it's lil' S/C.

I believe the BlackJack has that setup. I also believe it is $28K on top of the price of the car.

You're right. I saw a BlackJack at the dealership yesterday (98 out of 100 made). The sticker was 57K. I wouldn't spend an extra 30K for it, but man it was sweet.

Ssiicckk!!
