NHRA Approves Roush Mustangs For Straight-Line Competition
The National Hot Rod Association has granted its approval to the 2008 Roush supercharged 4.6-liter V8 in the Stage 3TM and P-51ATM Mustangs. This marks the first time the NHRA has given the nod to an aftermarket powertrain; previous competition powertrains had to be as-delivered by the manufacturer. Depending on configuration and bodystyle, the Roush Mustangs will be classified between AA Stock and B Stock or SuperStock A and F. Look for the first Roush car coming from Haas, Carrothers & Wagner Racing; the team won three consecutive NHRA Division 3 championships from 2004-2006, and they're currently building a Roush Mustang with a Stage 3TM powertrain.[MustangEvolution]

Ford And Roush Sued Over Mustang BlackJack
Drew Connor has filed a class action lawsuit against Ford Motor Company and Roush Performance, claiming the companies defrauded buyers by building more Ford Mustang BlackJacks than originally advertised. Remember the Ford Mustang BlackJack? No? We didn't either. As one of the million or so Mustang variants, we had to go hunt down the details on the thing too. The car was a limited production run of 100 all-black 430 HP 'Stangs with a price tag of $58,000. Turns out the limited-edition run of 100 was per year over two years, so there's 200 of the cars running around. That's where the rub comes in. More »

Let's say you've got a current generation Ford Mustang GT that doesn't get you excited any more and a couple grand taking up space under your mattress.

Roush Crate Powertrain Provides Engine, Tranny; Crate Car Still Unavailable
For folks who want a high-po old-school ride with a minimum of effort, Roush will now sell you one of their crate engines matched to an aftermarket performance transmission — and they'll do all the fine-tuning and dial in for you. You'll need to be a Blue Oval fan in order to take advantage of the aptly-named "Ford in a Ford" program, but we're pretty sure this is exactly what your old Mustang needs. Or at least one of us does. Look for the first application, a 511SRFE engine in a 1963 Galaxie, to debut at the Goodguys PPG Nats in Columbus, OH this weekend. Full release after the jump. More »

No, this Roush Horse Trainer isn't powered by the pony up front. It's designed to be a sort of mobile corral, allowing trainers unprecedented access to a moving race horse. Built for Kurt Systems, a Turkish camel and horse racing equipment provider, the Trainer encloses a horse in its booms, steering it in the same direction as the vehicle using reins connected to the front wheels.

Roush Vent Gauge Pods Makes Adding Gauges Somewhat Classy
Are you that guy? You know, the guy with big, gaudy and ugly gauges all over the dash and door molding? I don't judge you because the fact that you have so many gauges, sometimes people need to actively monitor other systems not included in the stock gauges, I just judge you because the placement of said gauges. Roush has a solution for owners of any 2005 to 2008 Ford Mustang or 2004 to 2008 Ford F-150. These gauge pods from Roush fit inside of the vents in the cooling/heating system of the Mustang and F-150 and hold any gauge you could ever dream of. More »

2008 Dodge Challengers Hanging Out At Roush With All The Cool Kids
A reader over at CarScoop managed to catch a pair of production-looking 2008 Dodge Challenger muscle cars hanging out at Roush, tuner of most things Ford. There are a couple of interesting things going on here. First, there don't appear to be any racing stripes, which could lead you to think these aren't SRT8's, though we think they are. Second, they're hanging out in front of Roush.More »
