A FAMILY PASSION - 2008 ROUSH P51-A MUSTANG
MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!
I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.
THE PASSION CONTINUES!
Over the decades, we have owned many Mustangs from a 2016 GT/CS to a Gold Glow 1972 Mach 1. A few years ago, we sold our 2004 Roush Stage 2 for another project and regretted it. While on vacation in Georgia, I brought up Facebook Market Place and came across a 2008 Roush P51-A Mustang for sale. Taking a look at where it was located, the Roush just happened to be on our route home – fate. So, we said sure let’s go look at it without a commitment. During the 40-minute drive to the see the Roush it went from a “we are only looking”, to when I drove into the driveway a “you are coming home with me”. Once I sat in the car and cranked the engine and heard that rumble and whine of the Roush Supercharger, I was sold!
If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!
The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

The engine is outfitted with the enhanced Roush supercharger increasing this 4.6-liter engine with more than 510 horsepower! To keep this Roush planted to the ground are its 18-inch wheels, Roush performance front and rear shocks and sway bar.
Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
The passion continues!
This Roush P51-A is limited to 151 serial-numbered copies, with this one being number 49. The Roush is equipped with a powerful supercharged engine boasting 510 hp and torque. Wrapped in Vapor Metallic paint and an olive-green strip down the hood, this Roush wears the badges in the red-yellow checkered colors of the 357th Fighter Group. Which is the name’s sake of the WW-II Mustang “Old Crow” which Jack Roush restored in 1993.
Upgrades that make this Roush stand out are the stitch
