I like this guy. If I ever have a son, I'm going to name him...well probably Joe or something, but you get the point.

No you should have said something about a boss before this I would have waited. My wife won't let me get a new car for at least 5 years.

Thank you for that. I had hoped that the focus inside the advanced group was on the core values and hearing about the future S.E.'s is great too!

Well, I was already planning on making my GT look like an old Boss 302, I hope he doesn't outdo me.

Best part of the whole article right here!!

9.0 Along those lines, what are your thoughts regarding other specialty Mustangs like the Bullitt and Mach 1?

We're hoping for a Boss 302 and a 5.0 LX. I believe that there is room between a Mustang GT and a Shelby Cobra GT 500 in terms of product positioning and market positioning. We will take your input under advisement.

Most enthusiasts are pleased you've kept the solid-axle in the Mustang and the GT 500, but the general automotive press has frowned upon it. What is your feeling about the decision?

The four cornerstones of SVT are Performance, Substance, Exclusivity, and Value. Our job is to give our customers the greatest performance bang for the buck. The reality is that we have a very good rear suspension in the base Mustang. It has beaten the best IRS cars from US, Japan, and Europe in Grand Am series. The incremental benefits of going to an IRS were vastly outweighed by the incremental cost to the consumer. I have no doubt whatsoever that we are doing the right thing for our consumers.
