ONLY 9K ORIGINAL MILES, ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER, MINT ROUSH, BRAKE UPGRADE!

Can a Roush Mustang be considered a sleeper? Maybe. If it doesn't get dressed up in stripes and badges that make it obvious. This Roush 540RH is understated in its simple, gloss black paint job. It walks softly but carries a big stick. Like a 540-horsepower stick with the suspension and brakes to back it up. If you like the idea of surprising unsuspecting victims, then check out this car.

The car is gorgeous in a gloss black paint job that is as perfect as it gets. There are only a couple small indications that this is a Roush. One very discreet 540RH stenciled onto the hood, one on the gas cap, and small Roush badges on the fenders and rear panel. This car does however, have the optional, upgraded brake option, so you may also notice the Roush calipers through the 20" chrome wheels that come with that package too. The rest of the car is like so many other great looking Mustangs. A blacked-out grill, a power bulge hood, aero that reaches for the ground all the way around and a spoiler on the rear decklid to keep the back end planted at speed. It could be just another great looking Mustang. But its not. It's a Roush 540RH, also called "The Hammer", and it is a force to be reckoned with.

Open the door and you will find an interior that is an efficient place to conduct some high-speed business from but is also packed with all the luxury and convenience items you expect in a modern sports luxury car. The door panel is sharp looking with a long comfortable armrest and an angle pleated insert that mirrors the pleating on the power leather seats. A 3-spoke steering wheel is leather wrapped also and has the controls for the stereo and hands-free phone on the right, with cruise functions on the left. White Roush gauges fill the dash so that you can keep tabs on critical engine functions as well as your speed, engine rpm and boost. The control panel in the center contains the Shaker stereo system that is FM, CD, iPod, and Sirius compatible. The ventilation controls are just below that and of course includes nice cold air conditioning. And then there is the shifter for the 5-speed trans just waiting for you to ignore all the other controls and have some fun with it.

Pop the hood and you will find that wonderful, supercharged Roush 4.6 Liter V8 sitting in a neat and clean engine bay. The engine is a marvel of development work by Roush that balances performance and drivability in a way that is unmatched. A cold air induction system feeds a finely tuned intake system with a 60mm mass air flow meter. An R2300 Roushcharger is intercooled and feeds into a 3-valve intake, then into special Roush developed cylinder heads. The bottom end of the engine is built to take the pressure with a forged crank, H-Beam connecting rods, and forged aluminum pistons with an 8.6:1 compression ratio so they can turn up the boost. Power is sent back through a heavy-duty clutch and the 5-speed trans to 3.55 gears in the limited slip diff with an anti-wheel hop kit. The springs, shocks and swaybars are tuned by the best chassis guys at Roush, and things can come to consistent quick stops by using those upgraded brakes working through 275/35ZR20s all around.

A great looking, awesome example of American Muscle. A slightly undercover car that can take you down the road in style, or take unsuspecting victims by surprise.
