Roush is now making GM parts for GM product and plans to sell them to the public. Roush has been a long time contractor for GM but has never really done a lot of high profile things in light of his Ford connections.

Roush has a lot of OE quality parts and builds some fine cars. They are expensive but if you want the best!!

It was noted a while back of a Possible Roush Camaro? Is this the first step his company is making that will lead to complete cars offered by Roush.

No matter what happens Roush aftermarket parts are only great news for GM owners.

Now lets start a urban rumor that Dale JR is going to Roush to drive a Chevy!!!

NOT!!!!!!

But then again if Ford can pay the 23 Billion dollar loans back Hmmmm!

Anyway it will be interesting to see what this may bring to us in the future.


Here is the offical press release

LIVONIA, Mich. (May 11, 2007) - For the first time in the history of ROUSH Performance, the company is expanding into the General Motors line of autos and trucks. Up to this point, ROUSH Performance has been strictly devoted to the design, manufacture and distribution of high-performance products for Ford-based vehicles.

"This is a momentous announcement for our company," stated Joe Thompson, general manager of ROUSH Performance. "For the past 12 years we have exclusively offered Ford-based products. Our engineering and manufacturing divisions already do considerable work for General Motors as well as DaimlerChrysler so the time was right for us to put this expertise to use for ROUSH Performance. The brand name is synonymous with high-quality products that perform as advertised and come with the best warranty program in the industry. All these traits will be incorporated into products we develop for GM vehicles and other brands as we continue the expansion of our line."

The initial GM products are ROUSH Power Programmers and Cold Air Intake Kits which were developed by the same engineering group which has had so much success in adding horsepower and performance to the Ford line for so many years.

The ROUSH Power Programmers are handheld units which can easily plug into the truck to increase horsepower and torque, change the transmission shift points and firmness, alter the top speed or engine RPM limiter, adjust the speedometer for tire and gear ratio changes and a host of other adjustments.. These ROUSH Power Programmers have a suggested retail price of $499.99 are available for a wide range of GM cars and trucks including the Chevrolet Duramax, Corvette, GM Trucks, and many more 1999-2007 vehicles.

The ROUSH Cold Air Intake Kits are simple bolt-on additions that increase horsepower and torque. Installed in minutes, the Cold Air Intake Kits include all the necessary hardware and a high-flow filter that is protected from the heat of the engine by a ROUSH-designed cool air dam system. The filter is washable and re-usable, and the modular intake tube will wake up even the tamest of engines as it flows more air than the factory unit. The Cold Air Intake Kit considerably reduces pressure drop across the stock air box and filter element. It comes with a rotomolded airbox to seal to the hood to reduce leakage. Again, the bottom line is less loss equals more airflow which results in more power.

Through the remainder of 2007 the ROUSH Performance GM line will quickly expand to include exhaust systems, suspension components and other accessories. Those interested can visit www.ROUSHperformance.com to see all the new products as they are unveiled, or to verify that these new parts will work for your GM vehicle.

Furthermore, the ROUSH powertrain engineers are currently working on a new ROUSHcharger* which will fit the 2007-2008 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.

 

I'm for it. A big name like Roush will only create more buzz for the Camaro.

 

I'm all for a Roush Stage Whatever Camaro...but not if there's also Roush Mustangs.

 

I guess this backs up the previous threads regarding a possible Roush Camaro. Definitely good news to hear.

 

I knew about this a year ago and dropped hints

 

This info was posted here that Roush may be in the game with a Camaro before we saw the silver concept and was the first he was the to post this.

The poster was told by GM to remove all of his post because it contained a little too much info.

So for now we will give the I leaked a little too much unnamed GM employee man a salute . This Buds for you man if your reading.

By the way every thing else he had posted so far has come to pass.

Lets just sit back now and see what happens.

 

Sweet, maybe we'll have some Roush Camaro's at my building one of these days. Good time to be a Roush employee.

 

Enlighten me before this dwindles in my mind to something like "only white people are allowed in the south"? What's the fear?

 

I guess this makes sense with SLP and ASC going belly-up. But having to get to stage 3 to see any power mods? please!! I'd rather see a Saleen Camaro, uhhgg that gave me chills and not in agood way.

 

Roush/Saleen are Mustang people. Leave them be. I don't want them messing with our car. They will screw it up. Like charging insane amounts of money fora very slow 281 Saleen. Keep them away!

GMMG, yes

 

I think it would be wise to see the car before you say this

 

Saleen/Roush = overpriced + slow

 

Are you talking the parts biz also or just the car modding operations (didn't know ASC had gone away)?

 

I see, so there is no room for people who want something different and are willing to pay for it even if it is primarily cosmetic, or are you infering that if Roush & Saleen produce 40-50k cars and they only slightly best the factory offering that GM dealers will smack heady ADMs on the regular car? (Then again if the regular F5 is nearly as good as the GT500, I'd say get ready to get reamed anyway cause a dealer could still charge well over 30k and claim they are offering a bargin compared to the GT500)

 

GMMG or Lingenfelter
