Boss at NAIAS

Sorry if these photo's have already been posted. I have seen the Boss 302 at several area events but I never realized the tires were so beefy looking. Beautiful car !

Nice pictures. I was up at the show yesterday evening with some friends and saw the three Bosses on display. It seemed to me that the orange one was quieter than I thought it would be when they ran it on the dyno, but they could have had some noise absorbtion techniques in play to keep it from being too loud inside.

I've only seen photos of the orange and silver Boss's at the show. What color is the third one? Got any more photos of the parts display? That display looks even better than the one in L.A.

3rd pic is CO, same car as the first two pics.

The lighting on the car does not do it justice, it really has to be seen outside, like last summer at the Woodward Dream Cruise.

Are you sure??? Reread the post I quoted and the one I wrote. I'm not talking about the photos...

The third Boss at the Detroit show was Kona Blue.

No worries Dave.

Great photos, was the display of the parts there like the one in L.A.? The cars were slightly different from L.A. in that there was the black LS instead of the silver one from the photos I've seen. I saw the silver LS at the Sacramento Auto Show and sat in the black LS at the San Jose show last weekend.

So the white Boss remains elusive......

Thanks, Bob! It was fun to see and hear it run, although I would have preferred some more volume from the exhaust as well.

Did anyone who went actually look at the Dynojet dyno display screen to see if the power output came up after the runs? I can't believe I forgot to do that!

You didn't miss anything, check out the article in the current HOTROD magazine about Dynos, they did an undercover test with a 2011 Shelby Supersnake at five different Dyno shops.

Great pics! Hopefully they will have a similar display at the Chicago display next month. Since production should have already started by the time the Chicago show rolls around, I wonder if we might see some different vehicles besides the 4 pre-production mules?

A couple of "low shots" looking up at the stage and a side view...

I have a short video of a dyno run on my Facebook page.
