Section 3 - Vehicle Characteristics - Ford ROUSH Mustang Supplemental Owner's Manual

SECTION 3 - VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS

The objective in designing our vehicle's wheel, tire, and suspension configuration was to produce a true
performance machine – one meant to be driven. As such, you should know that your ROUSH
have some characteristics that are unlike most vehicles.
These characteristics may include the following:
• A firmer ride if your ROUSH
due to an engineered and balanced suspension system which improves vehicle handling. In cases where
the ride height is set lower than stock, you will notice significantly less body roll, a tighter feel, and a
more immediate response to your driving inputs due to a lower center of gravity.
• Less ground clearance created by the addition of suspension systems and front, side, and rear
aerodynamic styling components. This is important to keep in mind when driving over rough terrains,
closing in on parking blocks, or when going up or down driveways. Damage to the body styling
components or suspension system may result from ground contact.
• A more aggressive sound from the tuned exhaust system. The exhaust system provides a decrease in
exhaust backpressure, which increases exhaust gas flow and engine performance.
