Ford ROUSH RS2 Mustang Review
True sports car fans know quality when they see it. That's what makes the 2020 Ford Mustang the archetype of all muscle cars past, present, and future. Stunning style, impressive power, and unbeatable features put the Mustang in the upper echelon of the segment, yet a ROUSH RS2 Mustang may just be one of the greatest variants of all-time.
To introduce drivers from Rising Sun, Havre de Grace, and North East, MD, to the 2020 Ford ROUSH RS2 Mustang, Ramsey Ford has put together this review. Take a look, then take a drive.
What is ROUSH?
ROUSH is an aftermarket performance line of products and customized vehicles that got its start in 1995. ROUSH aims to bridge the gap between the race track and the everyday road so drivers can feel the excitement of a powerful vehicle.
One of the most popular ROUSH cars is the Ford Mustang. The Mustang is upgraded with the best components from the most knowledgeable and experienced people in vehicle performance and auto racing. This makes the ROUSH RS2 Mustang the car of legends.
ROUSH expertly engineers and tests each RS2 Mustang to ensure optimal performance and to prevent mechanical issues. The company then backs this up with an industry-leading 3-year, 36,000-mile body warranty.
Engine and Suspension
The 2020 ROUSH RS2 Mustang, also known as the Stage 2 Mustang, lives up to the ROUSH name with some new features and specs while also maintaining a sports car's appeal. Ford adds its touch by way of a 5.0-liter V8 engine that delivers a heart-pounding 460 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. However, power alone doesn't make an enjoyable ride.
That's why they add a ROUSH-calibrated MagneRide® suspension for the ideal mix of handling and speed on every ROUSH RS2 Mustang. Continental ExtremeContact™ Sport tires wrap the ROUSH-engineered wheels to let drivers maintain high-performance control.
Tough Attitude Options
Each ROUSH RS2 Mustang’s exhaust system is designed for a signature growl that makes other vehicles put their proverbial tail between their legs. Add an optional X or H-pipe exhaust for an even livelier sound.
Exterior Style
Each ROUSH RS2 Mustang captures the classic, racing-inspired look thanks to several exterior features. The ROUSH R9 Aero Body Kit contributes maximum airflow and downforce while also making the model devilishly appealing.
Jet Black 20-inch Flowform wheels adorn the vehicle's bottom, adding a bit of unpretentious showiness to the mix. To complete the RS2 Mustang, ROUSH comes with high-quality graphics and offers a range of exterior paint colors, including the heritage stripe that screams speed and flare.
Ford Technology With ROUSH
With ROUSH performance, you also get Ford technology so you can stay connected while on the road. Many trims of the Ford Mustang come standard with the SYNC® 3 infotainment system.
The easy-to-use touchscreen allows you to use your smartphone apps directly with standard Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. You’ll have access to your phone’s navigation, music, hands-free calling, and more.
You can even use your SYNC® 3 infotainment system with your voice! This voice-activated technology will make your drive not only easier but also more fun. You can even opt for the available Voice-Activated Navigation System, so even without your phone, you can get helpful directions.
Like a good strong beat with that powerful engine? Get the available B&O Sound System by Bang and Olufsen. This 12-speaker system includes a CD player for classic tunes, HD Radio™, and a subwoofer.
Available Safety Features
Want to get your hands on some modern Ford driver-assistive and safety features? The available Ford Safe and Smart Package™ has what you’re looking for. This suite of technologies includes features, like:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking: Your Mustang can sense potential collisions with pedestrians and other vehicles in front of you. If a collision might happen, this system will warn you and apply brakes if needed.
- Lane-Keeping System: If you unintentionally drift out of your lane, your Mustang will alert you and apply corrective steering if needed.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: While you’re on the highway, this system can help you maintain a set speed. If traffic slows down or stops, this feature can also slow your vehicle. When traffic clears, your Mustang will resume the set speed.
- Auto High Beam headlamps: If you’re driving at night and using your high beams, this system can detect another vehicle headed your way and turn off your high beams. Then, when the car has passed, it will turn them back on again.
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert: This system can help you detect vehicles in your blind spot when you’re changing lanes or backing out of a parking spot or driveway. If there is a vehicle in your blind spot, you’ll get an alert.
