What is a ROUSH Mustang?
A ROUSH Mustang is a Mustang that ROUSH Performance has turned into a named program — an appearance, handling or supercharged package, or a limited edition — as distinct from an ordinary Mustang that has simply had some ROUSH parts added. The distinction sounds fussy until a specific car is in front of you, because ROUSH parts are sold separately and a car wearing them is not, on that basis alone, a ROUSH-serialized vehicle.
ROUSH’s announcements describe its Mustang packages as sold through ROUSH-authorized Ford dealers. The 2011 5XR was a post-title package: it could be ordered through an authorized ROUSH Ford dealer only after the Mustang had been sold to a customer or titled.[29][28]
Origins, and a date ROUSH frames two ways
ROUSH’s own “50 years” timeline says the first ROUSH Mustang vehicle package became available in early 1995, following the development of Ford’s 1994 SN95 Mustang platform.[4]
That same timeline entry is filed under 1996, the year it associates with the formation of Roush Performance Products, and ROUSH’s About page describes the company as operating since 1996.[4][5]
Other histories give 1995 for the creation of Roush Performance Products; a consumer-media history published in January 2024 does.[43]
RareReg does not choose between these. ROUSH dates its first Mustang package to early 1995, and its own materials tie the formation of Roush Performance Products to 1996. A guide that quoted only one of those would be smoothing over a discrepancy that ROUSH’s own material contains.
Program names: Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 and RS

How the program developed

Two gaps are worth naming. RareReg has not established whether a Stage 3 was delivered for the 2005 model year, and the period reports for 2013 and 2014 are secondary coverage rather than ROUSH’s own pages, so they are attributed as such rather than presented as ROUSH specifications.
Special and limited editions
ROUSH’s list is not exhaustive, and an edition’s absence from it means nothing on its own. It also lists the 2008 Nitemare, but that is an F-150 program, so it belongs to ROUSH’s truck line rather than to this Mustang reference.
ROUSH’s partner Military AutoSource described the 2016 Warrior Mustang as designed and built with ROUSH for military personnel serving overseas, at 670 horsepower, starting at $61,969 for stateside delivery. The release states no quantity.[42]
Production numbers: what is known and what is disputed
ROUSH’s door-jamb serial number cannot fill the gap. As ROUSH explains it, that number counts every ROUSH vehicle built in a model year, trucks included, so it says nothing about how many Mustangs — or how many of a given package — were built.
These are the only year-level actual figures RareReg found attributed to ROUSH’s own reporting. They are cited as a 2010 report and should not be extended to other years.
How ROUSH serialization works
ROUSH explains that each ROUSH Mustang carries two serial numbers, on two different tags — a sticker in the door jamb and a badge under the hood — and that the two numbers differ. On ROUSH’s Raptors and F-150s there is a single badge, in the door jamb.[1]


In this pair of examples both tags show the same number, 06-140. ROUSH’s current help article describes the door-jamb number and the Mustang under-hood badge as two different numbers. That contrast is one more reason not to treat any single example as a template for every year or program.
That table shows what ROUSH’s product pages list. Whether an individual car still has each item, and whether the item belongs to that car, is a separate question that only checking the specific car can answer.
For 2004-and-later ROUSH Mustangs, ROUSH sells a replacement window addendum documenting the vehicle’s ROUSH content and original ROUSH pricing. ROUSH says the vehicle must be an authentic, ROUSH-serialized vehicle to qualify, and a valid VIN is required.[7]
Is this a real ROUSH Mustang? A process, not a checklist
ROUSH’s VIN Search page likewise directs owners to ROUSH customer service to confirm a ROUSH VIN.[6]
ROUSH’s own guidance points both ways on stickers: it calls the door-jamb sticker the easiest way to recognize a true ROUSH vehicle, and it notes that stickers get lost.[2]
RareReg therefore treats a missing sticker as an open question and a present one as a reason to keep checking, not as a verdict.
The current state of the ROUSH Mustang program
RareReg does not present those supercharger kits as complete ROUSH Mustang vehicles. Nothing on ROUSH’s pages reviewed says that a ROUSH Mustang vehicle program has ended, and this guide does not say so either: it reports what ROUSH listed on the date above, and ROUSH could introduce another complete Mustang program at any time.
Some coverage of the 2023 TrakPak called it a farewell to the sixth-generation Mustang; that framing is the publication’s own, and ROUSH’s TrakPak page uses no such wording.[44][24]
How RareReg classifies ROUSH Mustang names
How RareReg weighs the evidence
RareReg ranks sources before it ranks claims. ROUSH’s own pages and help-center articles come first. ROUSH announcements reproduced by others come next, then period coverage and road tests, then specialist compilations. Forum posts, auction listings and dealer descriptions can show that a claim exists; they do not settle it. Wikipedia is used only to find leads, never as evidence.
A figure that appears on many websites is not thereby better sourced, so repetition does not raise a claim’s standing. When sources conflict, the conflict is stated on the page. The ROUSH help-center articles cited here were read on 18 September 2026; ROUSH can revise them, and any figure or wording here should be read as of that date.
If you hold ROUSH documentation that corrects or extends anything on this page, RareReg wants to see it. Evidence that ROUSH itself stated is the strongest kind, and it is what will resolve the disputes listed above.
