Life is not fair.

39.995 dollar for a Mustang with over 700 hp including warranty at the Ford dealer. Amerikaanser is not. While we here in Europe have to worry about CO2 and the environment, it goes in the US of A only to the burning of rubber, the fastest time at a dragstip and huge wattles of superchargers. Okay, in a state like California, they do a lot of green things, but you understand my point.

If the basis of this way of innovation is the new Mustang GT with the 5.0 V8. A Ford dealer in the U.s. state of Ohio currently has an action run in collaboration with Roush Performance. A maker of, among other thick superchargers. The Mustang Fastback with a V8 has a starting price of 32.545 dollar in the U.S. and provides a standard 421 hp. Thanks to the Roush-tuning gives the Ford an astonishing 727 horsepower. This version is for ‘but’ 39.995 dollar road Ford of Lebanon in Ohio. The minimal difference in price was made possible because the Ford dealer a coin in the bag.

Ford Lebanon was in the past already a partner of Roush Performance. The company had various supercharge packages in the range, varying with prices between 65.000 and 85.000 dollar. Partly due to the higher price were the selling of these models is not storm.

The idea for the stunt came from Charlie Watson, the Ford Roush Performance manager at the dealer. Initially it was the plan of a vulgar marketing stunt, but the demand for the hot Mustang grew to become a nationwide success when national media wrote about the stunt of the company. Now the new Mustang delivered to customers in Florida and Texas. Watson says that the dealer has between three and five Roush Mustangs per day sells. Still uses Lebanon as a price of 39.995 dollar for the hot Mustang. The company charges about $ 4,000 rebate per vehicle, but due to the huge demand as a result of the stunt is the investment already twice paid for itself. The dealer does not know when the temporary action will be terminated. (via Autonews)
