Same here Paul. I sold my only 2010 GT500 allocation to a fellow member here and I only have 1 for 2011 and its hopefully in transit right now. I may get another one, but that's a slim chance. I really believe they kept the build down due to the rebates and assistance cash that was offered for all the 2008 and 2009 GT500s that were left in stock well past the model year.

Personally, I would love for Ford to offer the street Boss 302 with a detuned version of the R1 race engine from the Boss 302R. However, the real question may be does Ford think they can sell 4,000 to 5,000 units of such an animal? While we know the R1 will not be anywhere near as expensive as the $25K Cammer engine but it is probably safe to assume a premium of at least $5K for the R1. Also assuming that the street Boss would retail for ~$42K with a warmed over production 5.0L, could Ford justify an approximate 12% premium for the R1 engine in essentially the same car? Certainly this is all speculation but these are likely the decisions being weighed within Ford now - obviously they have several options to achieve a street version of the Boss 302.

How many 08-09 Bullitt's were made in that two year stretch? How about Mach 1's? I'm guessing that they'll be on par with that. I figured 3020 would be a nice limited amount and have a little quirk to it.

I don't see why not. It's been used before by Ford. I had a 2002 Ranger FX4 that came standard with 4.10's and a Torsen diff. in the 8.8 rear housing. Worked great both on and off road. Had to be a pretty slippery situation to actually need 4 wheel drive.

Seems like the 01 B was in the mid 5k's...

You are definitely right there Pete! I like the 3020 number, very clever Overboost!!
