Ford vehicles, whether muscle cars or large-sized trucks, are delightful to drive. Over the years, Ford has perfected the art of manufacturing ever-improving vehicles. Tuners nationwide have developed some of the best performance packages to satisfy some Ford owners asking for more. Some of these modified Mustangs prove that Ford makes the best pony car.
Roush Performance has been tuning some of Ford's most sought after vehicles since 1995. Some of the company's modified muscle cars are worth an absolute fortune. Despite the hefty price of the higher-end Roush packages, the company is looked upon as one of the most respectable tuners out there.
10 2002 Mustang 360R
This edition of the Mustang was not among the most popular. Sluggish and poorly finished, the car was an overall disappointment. Despite the Cobra trim, the car failed to remain in people's minds. Whether this Mustang will receive the title of classic muscle car or not is highly debatable.
The stock 4.6L V8 produced a disappointing 260hp. That is the type of engine specs one would expect to see on a 1970 Mustang. Thankfully, Roush souped up the engine so it would produce and additional 100hp. With only 141 units ever made, the Roush 360R is the best Mustang made in 2002.
9 2007 Ford GT 600RE
The Ford GT is Ford's attempt at competing with supercar manufacturers such as Lamborghini, Porsche, or Bugatti. The Ford GT was originally equipped with a 5.4L V8 producing 550hp. It was far from being a slow car incapable of keeping up with the competition.
Out of the 4,038 Ford GTs produced, 100 were meant for the European market. Roush Europe prepared a 600hp Ford GT for very exclusive customers. On a continent where gasoline is outrageously expensive, it is quite understandable that driving around in 600hp car is reserved for those with plenty of cash to spare.
8 2007 Ford F-150 Stage 3
American pick up trucks are fascinating for truck fans. The Ford F-150 has always been a trustworthy and reliable vehicle. However, Roush wanted to get more out of it.
The F-150 trucks are decently powerful trucks to begin with. However, Roush made sure to give its customers more bang for their buck. Now cranking out 445hp, this racy truck is both sporty and practical. Though the Stage 3 is not as insane as the Nitemare, it remains of the coolest trucks made by Roush.
7 2009 429R
The 2007/2008 Ford Mustang had been beautifully designed. The 4.6L V8 found in the Mustang GT is acceptable. 300hp is powerful for a car that size. However, given the potential of the Mustang GT, it was understandable that some drivers wanted more.
With only 122 units produced, the Roush 429R is a very exclusive street-legal race car. The 4.6L V8 inherited some of the most valuable Roush Performance parts. Now rated at 435hp, the 429R must have tremendously influenced Ford to modify its Mustang GT.
6 2014 Raptor
The Ford Raptor has been highly mediatized ever since it was announced. Both truck and non-truck fans found a sudden interest in the powerful Ford truck.
The Roush Raptor should be among the best Ford Raptor pickup trucks. Equipped with a supercharged 6.2L V8 producing 590hp, the Roush Raptor is far from being your average truck.
5 2017 P51
The 2017 Mustang GT is not that much different from other Mustang GTs of the previous and following year. As Mustangs are mass-produced, and consequently a dime a dozen on American highways, it is quite normal that some motorists would want something a bit spicier.
This insane Roush P-51 is using the 5.0L V8 as a base. With 727hp at the crank, this P-51 is nothing to be played with. The most satisfying part about this car is its very tame look. Sure, there are major telltale signs of a supercharged Mustang. Yet, the car remains very simple.
4 2017 Ford Focus RS
The Ford Focus is by definition the opposite of a muscle car. It is small, usually lacking in the power department, and is in no way attractive. Ideal in an urban environment, the Ford Focus is not known for being sporty or aggressive. There are some sport versions, especially in foreign markets, but they cannot compare to the high-end muscle cars.
The Roush Focus RS, despite its Hot Wheels look, is an absolute beast that can easily destroy any renowned mid-range European sports car. The original 2.3L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine produces 350hp, and the stock Focus comes with a drift mode. Someone at Roush Performance didn't think that was enough, and as a result, Roush came up with a 500hp package for the Focus.
3 2018 Ford Ranger
The Ford Ranger has been shaking up the mid-size truck market over the last couple of years. Thanks to its performance, variety of trims, and sporty look, the Ranger has been at the forefront of the war between the Toyota Tacoma and the rest. Some of the Rangers out there are perfectly modified.
This version of the Ranger is unfortunately reserved to the South African market. There is, however, a Roush Ranger package available in the US. The body kit is somewhat different, and so is the power output. The South African version being a diesel, it is far better to acquire the US version and turn it into a real monster.
2 2020 Mustang Stage 3
The 2020 Mustang GT is a great car. Its 460hp 5.0L V8 is among of the most powerful stock engines ever produced by Ford. It is hard to imagine that anyone would want more than 460hp in a daily driver. Well, some people do. This Roush Stage 3 is one of the most aggressive Mustangs made by Roush.
This Mustang Stage 3 is the type of modern modded Mustangs car fans like to look at. Although the car seems barely modified from the outside, Roush did its magic and brought the power of the car to no less than 750hp.
1 2020 Jack Roush Edition
This Mustang is the cherry on top. The crème de la crème of all Roush Mustangs. There is absolutely nothing that Roush ever built that was this mesmerizing and powerful. With only 60 units of the cars in production, this badass Mustang will annihilate most Camaros and Corvettes on the track.
The Mustang Jack Roush edition is one of the most powerful Mustangs ever. However, turning in 460hp car into a 775hp one has its price. For about $51,000 on top of the cost of the stock Mustang, this Roush package will satisfy most people's need for speed.
