<div>2010 is going to be a big year for the Mustang. The new 412 horsepower 5.0 engine is a welcome addition to the family, as is the 305 horsepower V6 engines. Both represent an important step forward for Ford, and few people are as excited as the aftermarket. New challenges as well as more horsepower lie in wait for Ford’s pony car.<br />
<br />
Getting a jump start, <a href="http://blog.roushperformance.com/blog/2010/01/timeline-unveiled-for-roush-2011-mustang-lineup.html#more" target="_blank">Roush has announced a timeline</a> for their first Mustang variants, which are slated to release in April.<br />

<br />
The first car slated to come from Roush will be the Roush Stage 1 package, which will mostly consist of appearance modifications. Expect a Roush body kit, bigger wheels, a spoiler, badging, and probably some stickers here or there too. The Stage 2 kit will get the appearance options, as well as improved suspension and handling packages. <br />
<br />
With 100 extra horsepower over last year’s Mustang GT, Mr. Jack Roush himself said “I expect that the 2011 Stage 1™ and Stage 2™ ROUSH Mustangs could come close to matching the performance of some ROUSHcharged™ Mustangs we have offered in prior model years which will make them extremely exciting to drive and at a reasonable starting price point.” <br />
<br />
Speaking of ROUSHcharged Mustangs, the team is apparently hard at work modifying the 5.0 engine for power enhancers. However this takes more time, and the first supercharged Roush models like the 427R probably won’t be around until summertime. We can’t wait.<br />

<i>Press Release<br />
<br />
LIVONIA, Mich. – ROUSH® Performance, the leader in specialty Mustang builds with more than 16,000 vehicles on the road, unveiled the timeline for producing their highly-anticipated 2011 Ford Mustang conversions.<br />
<br />
In April, shortly after Ford’s Job 1 begins on the 2011 model year Mustang, ROUSH® will offer their Stage 1™ and Stage 2™ versions. Using the new Ford 5.0-Liter, V-8 engine, both of these cars will have 412 horsepower and 390 ft.-lb. or torque, all while reaching an estimated 25 highway miles per gallon of fuel economy. Also new for the 2011 model year is the standard six-speed transmission, something that Mustang fans have clamored for over the past several years.<br />
<br />
The ROUSH® Stage 1™ package consists primarily of aesthetic changes such as the addition of the OEM-quality ROUSH body kit. The ROUSH® Stage 2™ adds a suspension and handling package in addition to the appearance upgrades.<br />
<br />
“The 2011 ROUSH® Stage 1™ and Stage 2™ Mustangs will represent an incredible value by blending appearance and handling with an amazing base Ford engine package,” said Jack Roush. “I expect that the 2011 Stage 1™ and Stage 2™ ROUSH® Mustangs could come close to matching the performance of some ROUSHcharged™ Mustangs we have offered in prior model years which will make them extremely exciting to drive and at a reasonable starting price point.”<br />
<br />
For powertrain models, such as the ROUSH® 427R®, the engineering team is already hard at work developing the 2011 model year ROUSHcharger® and determining what modifications can be done to the 5.0-Liter engine. ROUSH® 2011 model year powertrain vehicles, however, are not likely to be available until late summertime.<br />
<br />
“We have a history of increasing the horsepower on each model year 427R® Mustang, and that should continue with the 2011 as well. However, exactly what the horsepower and torque numbers will be is too early to tell at this point as the engineering teams are still working through a myriad of details on the new five-liter engine,” explained Jack Roush.<br />
