Roush has come out with a new variant of its ground-pounding 427R (http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/18/in-the-autoblog-garage-roush-427r/). the 427R Trak Pak Mustang is designed for drivers who want to track their road cars on race weekends and such. Naturally, a host of changes have been made which differentiate the Trak Pak from the standard 427R. The 427R's plenty powerful (435 hp/400 lb.-ft.), but to make it really track-ready, Roush bestowed the Trak Pack with improved cooling, enhanced chassis rigidity, a fully-overhauled suspension, upgraded 6-piston brakes, and a new aero kit with an optional adjustable rear wing (as shown above). New 18" wheels, extra-sticky rubber, and unique graphics cap off the 427R Trak Pak's imposing look. The interior is similarly upgraded with a performance gauge package, shift light, short-throw shifter, leather sport seats, and aluminum pedals. Roush expects many buyers to use the 427R Trak Pack as a daily driver in addition to flogging it on a closed course, hence the presence of the comfort items like the leather seats. Pricing's been set at $58,245 and production will be limited to 100 cars, which will start becoming available later this summer. Follow the jump for the complete skinny from Roush, which calls the 427R Trak Pak its best-handling Mustang ever.
