So any official info on the Z28? Or is it gonna be just like the 1LT?

I think the Boss got the balance right between track racer and luxury muscle car.

AC only an option? Not for me, thanks.

I'm glad they've built it though. Anything to keep Ford on their toes.

Boss, sure. Boss LS should've been this. With an even higher output 5.0, the 6 piston brembos from the '13 GT500, no AC/stereo/carpets.

I think the front end looks a bit better, especially in 2SS trim with the HIDs. The rear, however, is downright hideous. The large painted diaper mimics the C7 (which I didn't care for) and the taillamps are the worst part. If they'd gone with the LED euro tails and tweaked them slightly, I think they'd have done a decent job on an exterior refresh for 2-3 more years.

The Z28 is gonna be a fast car, but its a little late. Now we have to wait to see what S550 can do against it.

7.0 V8, 500+ hp, 300 lbs weight savings. should definitely push Ford hard on the next gen performance model.

Ford could whip up a GT500 R easily...

Gotta say I love what Chevrolet dared to do. Big displacement N/A engine - Just sweet.

If only Ford had a Boss 429...

The Z/28 comes out in Spring of 2014... so does something else...

Sooooo....another year of looking at a Camaro before it hits the streets...

Looked old a few hours after the debut at lunch today...

Mustang will look very fresh next Spring.

wait, how many cubic inches is the 5.8, give Chevy a bit of their own medicine and get the GT500 5.8 minus the supercharger, its 2014, Mustang's 50th, I say go out with a bang, maybe add another Bullitt, or maybe an S197 Mach

I think it was nicely done. And I welcome competition. It just makes the mustang better. But the Z28 is going to be a sweet ride!

I'm suprised that GM was only able to squeeze out 60 more hp and 90 more lbs of torque than the 5.0l Boss engine considering it has 2 liters more displacement.

I'd love to see the cobra come back period. Or they could do another GT500 KR
