Remember when Roush announced the release of the
2008 ROUSH P51A Mustang last month? Well that announcement, made at SEMA 2007, sparked an instant response from enthusiasts. The flash flood of phone calls to their offices has Roush to up the ante in production numbers. 151 of the 510-horsepower ROUSH P-51A Mustangs will now be produced, a figure upped from only 100 units.
The decision was most likely reached due to the fact that the ROUSH order bank isn’t even scheduled to open to dealerships until January 2008. So, although the final pricing hasn’t been announced, the aftermarket producer is confident that the boost will be for the better.
“Certainly we anticipated that the ROUSH® P-51A Mustang would be a popular car and sell quickly to our dealer base,” said Joe Thompson, general manager of ROUSH Performance. “But I must say that we were a little surprised at just how fast the demand grew for this car so we worked with our suppliers to ensure that an increased volume would be possible and can now announce that there will be 151 vehicles produced next year.”
Ears perked up for the P-51A as soon as enthusiasts heard its main perk: the most powerful Mustang Roush Performance has ever produced. And it’s true—510 horses and 510 lb.-ft torque are the most the Roush technicians in Livonia Michigan have ever packed under the hood of a Ford Mustang.
