For the first time ever, Carroll Shelby and Jack Roush met with Ford Motor Company in order to design and produce a new car based on the 2011 Mustang and inspired by the SR-71 “Blackbird,” the long-range reconnaissance USAF aircraft built by Lockheed Martin. The SR-71 Mustang (S for Shelby, R for Roush) is currently being built at the Roush plant in Livonia, Michigan, with the participation and input of all parties involved. The new vehicle will carry the impressive 5.0-lite Ti-VCT V8 engine with a 2.3-liter Whipple Twin Screw Supercharger with Ford Racing calibration and Roush intake, a Ford Racing Handling Pack and tuned exhaust and tips, SVT Track Pack wheels in custom paint (19-inch in front, 20-inch in rear) and a new glass roof with unique graphic treatment. Also, the car will carry a non-production matte and silver exterior paint treatment with SR-71 cues as well as custom Recaro race seats featuring signatures of Jack Roush and Carroll Shelby. Further improvements for the interior include a new racing steering wheel, removed rear seat, Ford Racing performance gauge cluster, a modified navigation screen, roll cage custom badging, sill plates and floor mats.

I need a little alone time.

Damn, the only thing that stops me from buying a damned Mustang is the fact that every year (or less) they top it significantly. WHEN WILL THE MADNESS END???

There is still the vicious rumor of the Boss 302 return. This would be a revised front suspension and an all aluminum IRS rear.
