“The 2013 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang is by far one of the best performing Mustangs to come out of our shop” states Gary Jurick, General Manager for ROUSH Performance. “The idea is not to have the highest horse power out there, but to embody all around performance and combine that with an exclusive vehicle at a great value.”

For more details on the new 2013 Roush Ford Mustang visit Larry H. Miller Super Ford at 1340 South, 500 West in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Here is the press release announcing the 2013 Roush Mustangs:

The New 2013 ROUSH Mustangs

Out With The Old And In With The New

PLYMOUTH, Mich. (April 4, 2012) – Just as the weather changes for the better moving into spring, so does the ROUSH Stage Mustangs as they move into the 2013 model year. The newly designed 2013 ROUSH Mustangs add more grunt and aggressive looks to an already impressive redesigned Ford Mustang.

The Stage 3 Mustang is the pinnacle of the ROUSH "Stage" Mustangs. Improving upon the styling of the Stage 1 and the handling of the Stage 2, our Stage 3 Mustang adds its own piece of the pie by supercharging the 5.0L-4v Coyote powertrain. It is the perfect infusion of styling, handling and power. The Stage 3 embodies everything a muscle car can and should be.

At the heart of the Stage 3 is a newly updated ROUSH supercharged 5.0L-4v powertrain, pumping out a massive 565 horsepower and 505 lb-ft of torque – more than enough power to make you one with your seat as you stab the throttle. With power numbers like these, the 2013 Stage 3 marks ROUSH Performance's highest horsepower street legal Mustang to date. Force feeding air to the 5.0L engine is ROUSH's R2300 supercharger featuring Eaton's® TVS (Twin Vortices Series) patented technology. The TVS design delivers greatly enhanced thermal efficiency, produces higher volumetric capacity, and enables higher supercharger RPM's; all of which equate to more power and better fuel efficiency in a smaller, lighter package. ROUSH powertrain engineers calibrated the new Stage 3 to the perfect combination of power, drivability and durability.

But what is power if you can't put it down on the street/track? The Stage 2 and Stage 3 packages provide greatly improved handling over stock mustangs, allowing our cars to pull over 1g of lateral acceleration on the skid pad. Part of this handling package is the 18-inch by 10-inch cast aluminum, five spoke, chrome ROUSH wheels – wrapped in the ROUSH/Cooper (co-developed) RS3 ultra high-performance tire. The suspension system consists of a larger, stiffer front stabilizer bar to reduce body roll and provide balanced, neutral handling. It also includes a unique ROUSH designed anti-wheel hop kit, twin-tube shocks with unique valving, increased rate springs as well as upgraded bushings and jounce bumpers. ROUSH chassis engineers spent thousands of hours in development and testing to create the perfect set up to aid in acceleration, cornering, stopping and ride quality

To give the 2013 ROUSH Mustangs a more aggressive look, all of the new Stages 1 through 3 platforms receive the newly designed 6th generation ROUSH Aerobody package. Dubbed the "R6″, the new aero-body package incorporates a remodeled ROUSH upper grille, high-flow lower grille, corner fascia aero-pockets with driving lamps and front chin splitter. It also includes a new ROUSH hood scoop, rocker panel and rear fascia side splitters, a three-piece rear decklid spoiler, new ROUSH rear aero-valance featuring race-inspired diffusers, and is finished off with newly designed, integrated dual chambered, chrome exhaust tips.

"The 2013 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang is by far one of the best performing Mustangs to come out of our shop" states Gary Jurick, General Manager for ROUSH Performance. "The idea is not to have the highest horse power out there, but to embody all around performance and combine that with an exclusive vehicle at a great value."

The Stage 3 also gets an RS3 graphics package available in multiple color combinations to allow owners to personalize to their taste. Inside the Stage 3 you get a custom gauge cluster, ROUSH embroidered floor mats, a ROUSH center console button and a Stage 3 dash medallion. All Stage Mustangs receive ROUSH badging throughout and a serialized engine bay plaque.

To further customize your ROUSH Stage Mustang there are several exterior, interior and chassis options available including rear quarter window louvers and the all new Stage 3 Interior Package consisting of Stage 3 embroidered leather seating with suede inserts, suede door panels and a suede shift boot all with highlight stitching. There is also a vent gauge pod with LED boost gauge, a suede wrapped steering wheel, and a convertible light bar just to name a few. Some chassis options include three 20-inch wheels choices, four different brake packages, ROUSH laser cut hood struts and red or black ROUSH engine coil covers. Additionally, the ROUSH dual chamber off-road exhaust system to put a grin on your face and let everyone else know you're not to be messed with.

All 2013 ROUSH "Stage" Mustangs are available in both coupe and convertible chassis and both manual and automatic transmissions. They are also all 50-state legal and covered by ROUSH's 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. The 2013 ROUSH Mustangs are expected to start showing up on dealer lots by late April 2012.

2002 Ford Thunderbird Convertible

2002 was the year Ford revived the Thunderbird with retro styling, including a removable convertible hardtop and signature porthole windows. The iconic American design coupled with a smooth ride and V8 performance helped the Thunderbird take home the title of Motor Trend 2002 Car of the Year. We found this '02 beauty displayed recently in the showroom of Larry H. Miller Ford in Salt Lake City.

Besides having low miles, this Thunderbird also features a 3.9L V8 engine, digital dash, dual climate control, a security system and traction control. Making this Premium version extra special are the 17 inch chrome wheels and the beautiful blue interior trim that matches the exterior finish.

The perfect car for top down summer road trips, this convertible will be sure to turn heads. If you'd like to see more of this pristine 2002 Ford Thunderbird visit Larry H. Miller Super Ford at 1300 S. just west of I-15 in Salt Lake City, Utah or call 801-412-0002.

New Ford Mustang Customizer Offers Chance to Win Your Fantasy Mustang

Ford has just relaunched its popular Mustang Customizer with a host of new features to coincide with the launch of the 2013 Ford Mustang.  The customizer gives Mustang fans a way to personalize their dream pony car and share it with friends and family through social media sites like Facebook, Google+ and Twitter.  Since the special parts and graphics are available off the shelf, customers can order the Mustang just as they designed it from their local Ford dealers.  Or, more likely, they can save the design to use as wallpaper on their computer or submit it to what Ford calls "battle mode" to go head to head with other designs through Facebook.

“Customers love to make Mustang their own, one that suits their taste; this is the perfect way to let them test out their design and imagine what’s possible,” says Jim Owens, Mustang marketing manager. “The interactive aspect also adds a whole new dimension and lets more people get in on the fun.”

What makes this customizer so much fun, compaired to some offered by other car makers, is the sheer depth of design possibilities. Users can choose to customize a Mustang V6, GT, Boss 302 or Shelby GT500.  Accessories include body kits, wheels, decals, grilles and deck lids, along with parts from Ford Racing Performance Parts and Ford Vehicle Personalization.  Throughout the design the vehicle can be viewed from different angles and with different backgrounds.  

To add to the excitement, Ford will ultimately pick four of the fantasy Mustangs and build them, as customized, to give away to the lucky designers.
