 Winding Road: 2010 Roush 540RH« »

Get your question in before the review.

Quote »

As if the too-hot Roush 427R wasn't enough, the much-loved tuning company has now put another spin on the 2010 Mustang. Appearance-wise, this one is much more tame and subtle than some of the cleft-chinned 'Stangs we've driven, but don't let its looks fool you. The supercharger under this Mustang's hood bumps up power to a GT500-matching 540 ponies, and with suspension tweaking on hand, this latest Roush will surely be a hit for Mustang enthusiasts.

Since we'll be testing the car for the next week, post whatever questions you have about the 540RH and we'll do our best to respond. Check back for driving impressions and other logbook comments, too.

Er, looks...totally bitchin! Quite a sleeper, as far as tuned Mustangs go.

Nice, looks like a simple mustang with minor body upgrades and wheels, indeed quite a sleeper, I like it a lot

Even I would find it hard to identify that as a Shelby killer. Probably the most stock looking Tuner-company Mustang ever.

Better looking than the GT500, too.

All these people claiming sleeper...

Impossible! The big fat mustang could never be a sleeper. They are obnoxious and loud as it is. This one has a body kit and aftermarket wheels tacked on. How is that a sleeper?

Finally a clean one..... I don't know how anyone can find all these Roush/Saleen Mustangs of the past 10 years "attractive" in any sort of way. They're all riced out, ugly as ****, slow buckets.....

The previous Bullitt edition was sort of a sleeper; they do not stand out on the road at all:

Because when the last one looked like this:

It's a sleeper because I'd probably roll up to it on the street thinking it's some regular modded GT and then probably get my ass kicked.

The fact that it could beat this:

all while looking like a stock 2010 GT with wheels and a factory available Roush front bumper makes it a sleeper in my book.

You'll be getting your ass kicked by regular stock GT's in another year.

Uh, try again. They have similar horsepower but I'll still be at least 400 pounds lighter.
