Roush 540 HP Mustangs

ROUSH INTRODUCES A PAIR OF 540 HORSEPOWER MUSTANGS

LIVONIA, Mich. (September 17, 2009) – ROUSH® introduces a pair of new  
2010 Mustang models, each with 540 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of  
torque ready to be unleashed by the touch of the throttle.

The 2010 ROUSH Stage 3™ Mustang will once again take its rightful  
place atop the hierarchy of Jack Roush’s lineup. The vehicle comes  
fully-loaded with the ROUSH body components; resonator exhaust; four- 
piston front brakes with 14-inch rotors and painted rear calipers with  
slotted rotors; and the new upper billet grille which removes the fog  
lamps and streamlines the appearance of the new Mustang while  
improving cooling performance. Interior enhancements include ROUSH  
leather seats with an embroidered Jack Roush signature; four-piece  
performance pedals; ROUSH illuminated sill plates; short throw shifter  
with black or white ball; and a new interior Stage 3 badge with the  
car’s serial number engraved.

The 2010 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang will ride on 18-inch chrome wheels with  
high-performance Cooper RS3 tires; 20-inch chrome wheels with Cooper  
RS3 tires are one of the few options available on this model. The  
suspension package includes ROUSH front struts, rear shocks, front and  
rear springs, front and rear stabilizer bars and jounce bumpers.

“The ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang has traditionally been among the halo  
vehicles of our lineup and I’m really proud that it sits atop the  
pecking order once again,” said Jack Roush. “This new iteration of the  
Stage 3 represents our highest horsepower and most sophisticated ROUSH  
Mustang yet, and is sure to resonate among our fans.”

The suggested retail for the 2010 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang is $59,945*.  
The 2010 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang will have a limited production run of  
only 103 vehicles.

The second Mustang unveiled with the 540 horsepower powerplant is the  
new 2010 ROUSH 540RH™, a limited content, full powertrain vehicle.  
Also known as the Hammer®, this car comes armed with massive  
horsepower, a ROUSH rear decklid spoiler, and short throw shifter with  
a choice of white or black ball, the 540RH is a stoplight slayer.

Proving just how quick this car can be on the optional 18-inch Cooper  
RS3 tires, ROUSH engineers recorded an 11.8-second elapsed time at 121  
mph during testing at Milan (Mich.) Dragway in early September.

“The new ROUSH 540RH is really intended to be a ‘sleeper’ car,” Roush  
explained. “It will be purposely built with minimal content as it was  
designed for the buyer who wanted the ROUSH horsepower but with a  
blank canvas that can be customized into their own personal one-of-a- 
kind ride.”

The 2010 ROUSH 540RH has a new suspension package which includes front  
and rear springs, front and rear stabilizer bars and jounce bumpers,  
and a subtle tone-on-tone striping package. All this comes with a  
suggested retail starting at $46,145* when built on a base Ford  
Mustang GT chassis.

Both the 2010 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang and the 2010 ROUSH 540RH Mustang  
use the same engine that debuted in the 2009 ROUSH P-51B™ Mustang. In  
order to get this type of power from the Ford 4.6L, 3-valve engine,  
ROUSH technicians replace many of the internal components with  
stronger parts including forged aluminum pistons (with an increased  
dish to lower the compression ratio from 9.8 to 8.6), forged steel H- 
Beam connecting rods and a forged steel crankshaft. The fuel rails are  
changed, as are the fuel injectors and an upgraded fuel pump. ROUSH  
also upgrades the clutch and includes a custom-calibration for the ECM  
to manage the performance of the next-generation R2300 ROUSHcharger®.

As is standard with all new ROUSH Mustangs, both cars will come with  
the anti-wheel hop kit installed during the assembly process. This  
part (No. 401788) is an outstanding addition to any 2005-2010 Ford  
Mustang GT.

Both vehicles are covered by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty and will be  
available with a manual transmission only. The 2010 ROUSH Stage 3 is  
expected to start production by the end of September; the 2010 ROUSH  
540RH should start showing up on dealer lots in October. For more
