I'm nost posting these so you can debate on the graphics package or whether or not they're "real" Bosses, but Shinoda seems to be the only tuner giving us any info right now. Personally I think these are the best thing to happen to the Shinoda name since the 1971 Boss 351.



This one will be stroked to a 302ci or 310ci:

 

Sounds like they won't be coming out with a production model from ford.

 

These bad photochops do not inspire confidence as to the future of those cars. I mean, if you can't even whip up a decent photochop, and the theorys of typography are far, far beyond your grasp, how can you be expected to do anything worth a darn when it comes to a cars visual mods. Plus, the "got...whatever" angle stolen from the "Got Milk?" campaign is so tired it's pathetic.

<- advertising graphic designers opinion

 

Bad photochop or not, I bet they will look killer in the flesh. 600rwhp????? Tremendous. (imo)

Brad, thenks for the pics.

I think the yellow one has potential. It's the closest thing we've seen yet to a package that looks like the original Boss 302s. I think it has potential. And who knows, maybe Ford will make their own or maybe combine efforts with Team Shinoda and sell their version through Ford dealerships?

 

Not a big fan of Shinoda. I think those cars may look good but not from those pics. Plus, I've never liked the big Boss graphics especially on the blue one.

 

Actually that graphic is a LOT better than the old 94-04 graphic.
Its subtler

(the yellow one...not the blue one...still hate that graphic)
and Twin Turbo'd !!! NICE )

 

I'm just glad someone's getting the car out there for people to see. I want to see what Roush comes up with, personally, but I'm glad Shinoda is stepping up early.

 

The yellow graphic (mimicking 1970) does not fit the lines of the car IMO. They really should try something new, not just the 94-04 stripes or the retro ones.

It is nice that they are aleady boasting about some power numbers though.

 

Yeah, I don't like the graphics on the blue Boss at all. I have always hated those graphics since they came out with them in '94. I would love to see the retro style Boss 302 graphics on the new Mustang. And I'm also not a fan of Team Shinoda, but if they're the only ones who make something close to the old Bosses, then I might have no choice. It was my uncle's Calypso Coral 1970 Boss 302 that got me to like Mustangs back in 1980 when I was 3 years old. And that's my ultimate car for me to try to get an '05+ to resemble.

 

The Twin Turbo setup is available for 2004 Mustangs, but probably will not be (at least immediately) for the 2005s.

 

i am a fan of the original boss's. they were more understated in their appearance packaging. no HUGE BOSS decals

 

Those pics don't inspire confidence, bad chop, re-used stripes, stolen catch phrase. I'm new to this game but would expect a lot more from such a performance manufacturer. IMO
However, it's not my problem because I wont be waiting on anything after the GT, nor would it be safe for me to do so.

 

the yellow one should be ok as long as they don't use thier bread board ducktails they have now *shiver*

 

u da man

 

They are pretty nice, but I believe that the yellow Boss 302 stripes would look cleaner if it didn't cut back through the door with such low angle. I think it should start angle down just under the front corner of the door-then along under the scallops back to the wheels and continue all the way straight through the rear side marker light to the end. That's how the '70 boss 302s stripes were patterned out and it flows better with the body lines of the scallops and door. The stripes on those to me just looks overdone to look more slick or something I guess. If someone could do a chop of that description for me that would be awesome.

 

in orange also

 

Our photoshops here are better than that junk. The images almost discourage me from looking at their product because it looks so unprofessional.

As for the real thing, we'll just have to wait and see. Hope it does get the other name outfits in gear!

 

See I for one like the huge gaudy '03 - '04 boss decals because if you ask me they are just as gaudy as the old '69 - '72 Boss decals. All of those were gaudy as heck IMO esspecially with the all flat black hood that didn't even look good because it was flat black when it should have been a gloss black to match the rest of the car. Yes I know the old gaudy boss decals from back then were also flat black too and I don't like those either for the fact that they were flat black... heck who am I kidding I like the old Boss's for power not for looks.

 

The flat black was to reduce glare from the hood while racing.
