That's why the got rid of it, I heard.

 

Names relating to national disasters tend not to be popular nor politically correct.

 

Okay, I wanna change my vote from CJ or SCJ to Hurricane

 

Boss for the entire family of the new V8 engine family.
It's short, sweet and catchy, like the Hemi.
If further clarification is needed they could be refered to as the Boss 5.8, Boss 6.2, etc.

For special high performance versions a the boss name can be added to like Boss HO or Boss 4V, etc.

 

Personally, I think it should be something new. Although the Mustang is a retro car, something new would be better.

 

Y'know I really miss the HighOutput and SuperHighOutput designations.

 

Boss 5.8? retarded... Boss 351 on the other hand has a nice ring to it

 

Although Boss 351 comes off a bit anachronistic (aren't we and that respected world power Burma/Myanimar the only ones still clutching at the old standard measurement system?)

What about Boss 580 (centiliters)?

Again, I'm a bit worried about potential naming confusion between motors and car models.

Would a Boss 580 Mustang have a Boss 580 engine, even if that same general motor, Boss 580, was found in a much lower HP tuning in, say, an F-150 truck?

Or would you have to append something like Boss 580 Cobra Jet to the hi-po motor in the Boss 580 Mustang (whew!)?

Or just put the Boss name to rest for Mustang models and go with something more up-to-date or unique (SVT 580, FR 580?)?

 

Hurrican is what I voted for.. they have to put those F-series motors..

boss sounds awesome too..

 

I think they should call it "The Sweet/Awesome Motor," or something similarly catchy.

 

hehe

"I've got a 2010 Mustang GT with the 'Super Sexy Good Time' motor

 

no cause katrina ripped **** up, a nice katrina 5.8 -550hp will rip **** up too

 

The idea of calling an engine line "Boss" doesn't make any sense. That completely takes away from the uniqueness of a Boss Mustang. And like many people have pointed out, are they going to put a "Boss" engine in a Mustang GT? In a Mach 1? In a Shelby?! That's really pretty stupid. "Hurricane" was a great name, and it didn't refer to a specific car.

On a side note, I read that there is a possibility of a 6.2 liter version of this new V8, and in the future possibly a 7.0 liter version! How great would that be? A 428 cubic inch Mustang?! I don't care how much debt I put myself in, if they release a big displacement Mustang I'll be buying!

 

Cobrajet just seems to apply to the engine better for me. Boss embodies the whole car in my opinion.
