New Mustang to receive several Roush treatments; Stage 1 due in November

MIKE SUTTON/AUTOWEEK

The 2005 Ford Mustang will be in dealer showrooms next month, but the next-generation SVT Cobra is still more than a year away. Not to worry, says Jack Roush, who hopes to tide Mustang fans over with several Roush Performance versions of the 2005 Mustang GT.

First out is the Stage 1 package due in November, including bodywork modifications, lowered suspension, 19-inch wheels, custom exhaust tips (no side exhaust this time around due to chassis constraints)�and a hood scoop reminiscent of the one on the �69 Mustang.

By January, Roush will roll out a package of chassis modifications, followed in early spring by the full boat: a Roush Mustang complete with a supercharged 4.6-liter V8.

I want one...only thing I really DISLIKE on the car, is the typical flat faced wheels. Anyone know why almost every newer car(even rear drive) comes with offset wheels? to me they just dont look right without some depth to them(they resemble hubcaps). a couple inches of polished rimflange depth changes the look drastically...

Man, couldn't Roush have paid someone to do a better Photoshopped piccy for them? I mean, Big Pete could do waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than that...

I wonder when Mr Shelby will release his version (now he's back in bed with Ford)?

Most likely you'll see Shelby's in late 2005 or 2006.
