From Automotive News:

Ford has pumped out a succession of low-volume, tricked-out Mustangs since redesigning the pony car for the 2005 model year. Ford execs say they have never had as many special-edition Mustangs in the stable as they do now.

Despite all those special-edition choices, Mustang fans are clamoring for more, Ford says.

"They want Mach 1, they want Boss," says Mustang chief designer Doug Gaffka.

So stay tuned: Ford vows not to disappoint. The company could announce another Mustang one-off any day now.

Wolfsburg

So an announcement is imminent?

MustangFanatic

My guess: 2009 Mach I

Wolfsburg

Yeah, that would be mine as well.

codeman94

GT350?.....probably not...a Mach would be cool.

TJ4Cam

I will be one of the 1st in line.....been waiting for an S197 version since I saw the '05

Whammer

I'm thinking it will be a Boss. Putting a larger HP engine into a Boss would be a perfect fit and perfect to do battle against the Challenger and Camaro.

wally05

Have you guys seen that photo of the production camaro?? ... ewwww. They definitely butchered anything that looked menacing from it.

I heard from someone who was pretty close to the Bullitt project that the Mach1 will ONLY happen if talks with Shinoda for a new BOSS fall through...

MustangFanatic

Ford will likely hold the Boss until the '10 restyle to compete with the Camaro/Challenger. Ford doesn't have to clear ANYTHING with Shinoda, they own the Boss nameplate, Shinoda only has the rights to Shinoda Boss.

It would be cool (or kewl to some) to see a regular and a super-hot 3.5 V6 offered--twin-turbos provided to Steeda for the ultimate QS6 and to Shelby for the ultimate Terlingua Racing Team Mustang V6. If built in-house, the TT model could become the resurrected GT350--a GT500 with the TT V6--all smog-legal, etc. For competition, Multimatic could be touched again to build the FR350C--basically, an FR500C with the TT 3.5 V6 and no watering-down as had to be done to the FR500C to get the Grand American Road Racing Association to certify the FR500C for the GS class.

Twin turbos--Kick ***, and Kick *** Again. For good measure.
Sold for the prevention of disease only.

It would be cost prohibitive. A V8 can give the same performance with greater reliability and less cost. Turbos can be a warranty nightmare if not designed and manufactured for reliability.

If I know Ford it will likely save the best SE for last, as it did with the last gen. BOSS. It is the missing, most wished for and wanted SE, provided it doesn't disappoint and wows everyone like the GT500 has.

"Mach 1" in 09 and "The Boss is Back" in 2010 would work for me!

red pony

Definitely ! But what I hope doesn't happen is that we will one day look back and say "How can anything so butt -ugly be so much faster than our Mustangs , as-is from the factory !? " Not only are we insulted by its looks --- we have to watch it pass us on the 1320 (1/4 mile ). That is just wrong !!!! Well, at least my 4 blue little buddies seem to agree --- How about you ??

While I would like to see a new Boss, I would also be saddened, because then I would most likely have to part with my current baby...

I'd probably get over it real quick, though.

RCSignals

Why do some people assume something from GM will be faster? It doesn't even exist yet

and who cares if it is, it's ugly.

RCSignals

so far it looks like there won't be a new SE for '09. Looks like they will finish up the 7,700 Bullitts for '09.
'09 will be a short production run. They may be saving the next SE for 2010 which starts production Jan '09

mach1fever

Boss will not be until after the refresh.

Twin Turbo

My guess (and it is just a guess!) is that the Boss might return in 2011 as that's when the 5 litre engine is due to appear. So, Boss 302 anyone?
