Mustangs are pretty entertaining out of the Ford chute – but who’s going to turn down a Roush-modified pony car with a 430-horsepower V-8 under the hood?

Not even Jack Roush himself. After driving a test car last year around NASCAR’s tracks, Roush decided on the final specs for the rousing new edition, down to its inky black paint. That car ended up on the auction block at Barrett-Jackson in January, after which Roush decided he’d build 100 copies for lucky owners.

 

The limited-edition ROUSH Stage 3 wears the last name BlackJack in its production version. And under the hood, it spins out 430 hp and 400 pound-feet from its “ROUSHcharged” supercharged V-8 engine. Other specs on the BlackJack include a new intake manifold, intercooler, and specially calibrated engine control module.

 

To announce to the rest of the world that this is a Mustang for the highly privileged bad ass, the BlackJack gets a 21-inch matte stripe down its center, a new aero body kit, aluminum trim under the hood, and a firmer suspension with tuned shocks, struts, and springs. Upgraded 14-inch front brakes and slotted rear rotors are added, too.

 

Inside the BlackJack flips out with special trim on its seats, new white electroluminescent gauges, a short-throw shifter with a black shifter ball and new floor mats, door sills, and other trim.

 

All 100 copies have been claimed, but if you’ve got the cash, maybe you can connect with Jack through his Web site or ring him at 800-59-ROUSH.

    What Are You Waiting For?

    At 15K miles, the Mustang GT has not only proven super reliable, but a tremendously satisfying driving experience on the street and highway. Instant throttle response and pleasing engine growl and roar. A real Torque Monster at low and high speeds in stock form. The 5-spd auto has fangs and runs with the Big Dawgs. A popular car magazine tested an auto-GT and posted a 13.79 qtr.-mile time and 12.89 with a cold air intake and computer re-tune (up there with the '68 Mach 1 Cobra Jet). Amazing! I added only a $40 aftermarket reusable air filter and an increase in throttle and engine response was quickly noticeable. The GT easily responds to add-ons. A Supercharger may be worth it if you plan to drag race, since it's optimum only at high speeds. Otherwise, the GT's 300 hp and 320 lb.ft. torque is plenty and can smoke most cars and trucks on the road. Checked out other exhaust systems, but you get more sound blast than power. The GT's stock exhaust is tight, sweet and unique. After 3K miles break-in, suggest using 5W-20 Red Line fully synthetic or other superior engine oil (some Ford dealers sell it). Freeway gas mileage is pretty good at 23mpg doing about 75mph. Watch that speedometer constantly...cause you can quickly hit 90-100mph and start to pass other cars like they’re standing still. Caution…this car definitely bruises egos, so look out for the crazy antics of jealous drivers.
