In the September edition of 5.0 it mentions an interview with Andy Benedict, Exec Director of Global Facilities, Materials and Services Purchasing for Ford Motor Company. (What a title)

In it he mentions that Ford is very pleased with the new Mustang and that a full 70 percent of the new Mustangs sold have been GTs. References that it makes it more profitable for Ford and the beancounters happier.

He brings up that Ford is more likely to fill the gap between the GT and GT500 with that show of enthusiasm. He then hinted at Mustangs on the way with Shakers hoods, Boss packages, and more horsepower.

---- end of article ----

Just wanted to let you guys suffer on waiting like I am!

That 70% GT number isn't right.

Man if they come out with a boss I am allllllll over that. I remember the boss's had the rear window louvers that folded up as a whole so u can clean the wind shield, right? THought that was really cool, Each time i see an old boss, it just screams bad hiney.

Ford has been running the Shakers around the Streets of Dearborn for a few months now.
