A couple of quick items today, both on the new, highly anticipated 2010 Roush 427r Ford Mustang… and not all of it good news… for Roush.

on the track

Motortrend got to spend some road time, and more importantly, track time with the new Roush Mustang 427R and buddy, they were sure impressed. Over at their site there are some great shots of the red beast, and even some desktop wallpapers (one of which is currently being used on my own computer). Be sure to watch the video to see this 435HP car that they dubbed “rudeboy” in action around the track. 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and 100 MPH in 11 seconds is nothing to be sneazed at, for sure (the bad news being, and Motortrend points this out, that the Shelby GT500 is faster, better handling, and as tested, less expensive in  price)!

On the strip, ready to rock...

Then, to continue the marketing hype…
Jack Roush allowed filming to go on during the 14 months that the 2010 Roush 427R Mustang was being developed until it’s unveiling a couple of weeks ago.

427r unveiled

The SPEED channel is going to air the hour long documentary entitled “2010 ROUSH Mustang: The Art of Performance Engineering” on July 20th at 8 p.m. eastern. The documentary goes into areas where cameras are usually forbidden, like the clay design room. http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff310/brothersperformance/2010_roush_revealed_clay.jpg

That's what I call Play Dough!

Also apart of the show will be special guest interviews by Chip Foose, NHRA drag racer John Force and NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle.

If you don’t have a DVR (aka Tivo) or forget to set it, the show will also air the next night on Tuesday July 21st at Midnight. It’s not scheduled to run again until Monday, SEPTEMBER 21st at 8 a.m. so be sure to catch the first or second showings if you’re really interested in the development of this 427″rudeboy” Mustang. Speed is channel 607 on Directv and channel number 150 on Dish. If you have cable, check your local listings.
