I wonder if Ford has this just sitting and collecting dust somewhere or if a private collector has it

 

Collecting dust in a garage at Ford somewhere, my guess.

 

What ever happens to anything good that Ford builds as a "concept"?? It dissapears.

 

 

You are right, its collecting dust in Jack Roush's private collection. Check out the video of Jack talking about it.

Interesting. Thanks for the video!

 

This is a good example of why Coletti was forced out. Rather than developing a vehicle for production, he comissioned something as a one-off that he could take to the Car mags. Just like the Super Stallion or the 700hp Cobra. Thats where Coletti and Ford's white collars clashed: he was interested in bragging rights and headlines, they wanted cars that they could sell in volume to the consumer.

It's a great car, no argument, but in the end its just like all the Concept cars Ford's built and never produced: it just didn't do anything for the Company.

 

The intake design is very 2000 cobra R ish, so some parts may have trickled down to the production cars.

 

???

Now that is freakin Fast!

 

Yeap, Jack's got that puppy, at least we know it will remain safe for future generations to enjoy, he is a serious Mustang fanatic!

 

It is weird that it does 0-60 in 1.9 seconds, yet its still a 10-something car

 

And i thought i was the only one that remembered that thing. Boy did i ever want that bad when i was a little fella.

 

1.9 sec is with slicks i believe. and do you have any idea how much power to weight you need to hit 9's?

 

I guess its just that it looks weird to me because all the guys are doin their quarters in 11-13 sec @ 100-110 mph. Just looks weird to me for some reason...I don't know

 

0-100 in 5.5......faster that the veyron...

now that would've been nice

 

Thats my favorite ford play project ever!

 

I believe somebody slipped a digit. My recollection is that the engine is 504 CID, not the 604 CID listed on the link, making it 8-1/4L.

The car was in a C&D article where the Boss Mustang was matched against a "510 CID" Camaro. After the article was written C&D found out that GM lied about the engine in the Camaro. Both cars were supposed to have factory muscle car engines from the old days. In reality, the Camaro had an aftermarket engine based on the Chevy 427 architecture and it was considerbly larger than 510 CID. In spite of the GM boys cheating IIRC the Mustang won the drag race anyway.

 

Nope, its always been called a 10L. Although if its 604cid then its a 9.9. And on the original link it says its a 9.8. Either way, ~600ci.

 

isn't this the camaro that went against the 10L stang?
