This is the ’18 Roush Mustang, caught while testing in the Rockies.

The Roush Mustang will benefit from upgrades that the rest of the ’18 Mustangs get, such as updates to the front clip and new LED lights, front and rear, and a new hood. Magnetic ride control with adaptive dampers are also available now.

The Mustang’s 5.0L V8 received a boost up to 460 hp, so it’s fair to assume this Stage 2 Roush version will jump from ’17’s 435, and possibly approach 500.

Expect the ’18 Stage 2 Roush Mustang to continue to demand a premium of about $10,000 when it becomes available next year.

We are also pleased to announce the release of our new User Interface (UI), which matches impressive technical sophistication with the easy-to-use, web-based dashboard our members expect.

The SDC is scheduling meetings every hour from 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. during the Show (until Friday at 4:00 p.m.). The SDC booth is located behind the Ford display in Central Hall, in the raised meeting room #20679.
