Time to come up with something new and innovative. Tired of all these house tuners going through American Muscle catalog and calling it special edition Mustang. Fabricate something for a change or do nothing at all.

There is a tube leading from the Shaker to the intake housing.

I dig it! Best looking "Boss," in my opinion. Would have made for a proper 2014 FMC Boss.

But that isn't really serving much function. Especially with that air box they are using. Could have done with just a really nice hood instead. And that thing is definitely not designed for rain. It's gonna blow water right into that filter.

Yeah . . . and not sure about the rain aspect. The Machs work well. Can spray a hose directly into the shaker and no water ends up in the filter.

there's nothing I like about this. looks like a ricer's dream come true with louvers on the exhaust, chrome trim rings around the taillights, and headlight splitters.

its not a "boss" by definition, but if you really wanted a true tribute car, then why didnt they use an original 13 boss 302 and paint it like the one its based off of. that would be cool then....but saleen then couldn charge the $30,000 extra for a bunch of add on's...

Hence my quotes and agree about the pricing. I like it but not at that price point.

Nearly everything on that car including wheels can be done for about $3k total. Yuck.

where do you suppose they got the extra 26hp gain (rated 470hp/405ft-lb torque) for the George Follmer edition? i went on Saleen's site; knew about the 2007 Parnelli Jones edition (rated 400hp/390ft-lb, NA) but learned about the 2008 Dan Gurney edition(s) (rated 465hp, supercharged)... along with the upcoming Mark Donohue Camaro (rated 485hp/415ft-lb) and the Swede Savage Barracuda (not Challenger, rated 495hp/425ft-lb). i believe all three new Heritage Collection models are naturally aspirated, geeez!
