It's amazing how much can be expressed in the automotive world with just three digits. To wit: 427. If that doesn't conjure mid-sixties Ford iron (like this one and this one) — ok, Chevys too — it's time to hit the books. If it does, you'll likely also be wise to the marketing gamesmanship that hangs on vehicles such as the Roush 427R, which call upon such numbers for effect. A less potent version of the Ford tuner's Stage 3 Mustang, the 427R starts with the same 4.6-liter V8, though the Roushies have somehow found 427 horsepower among the hardware, mainly by employing the ROUSHcharger blower system. We're on to you, bunkie!
