Jack Roush, founder of Roush Performance will be entering a Roush Ford Mustang in the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction for the first time later in January. The car is named "BlackJack", a special edition Stage 3 Ford Mustang.
Built using some of the highest quality Roush components, the BlackJack prototype was made to be sure the special edition BlackJack Mustangs would hold up to everyday driving. 100 Limited Edition BlackJack Mustangs will be built later in 2007, but one lucky bidder will own the prototype that started it all.
The BlackJack prototype features a fully polished version of Roush's own ROUSHcharger supercharger that we reported on late last year. This helps boost horsepower to 430 as well as a respectable gain in torque as well. It is the fastest Mustang ever to be made by Roush. The BlackJack cars will also feature more polished underhood components to make the engine bay shine.
BlackJack was driven to NASCAR races all last season to confirm its user friendly status, and drew crowds at all the races. Due to its amazing speed and sinister looks, it has acquired the nickname "Nitemare." It would look great in any collector's showroom, or better yet, out on the road with the rest of the BlackJack Mustangs.
When we here more on this and other fine ROUSH Ford Mustang applications, we'll be sure to keep you posted.
