Sounds like it, but with some changes obviously.

I'm still waiting for more confirmation that the car I saw was indeed a Boss mule. I have heard positive things so far, and others I have yet to confirm.

I'd expect some concrete info Q4 2010. We should see these rolling by this time next year, right Boomer?

As a whole, we've pretty much narrowed down the good stuff. We have the exterior almost figured out, and the only things we're looking for are more power specs and other changes. I don't think we're gonna have to wait too long.

I'm talking about exterior features, not engine/drivetrain upgrades.

My guess is:

-GT Brembos
-aluminum driveshaft
-higher flowing heads
-upgraded intake manifold
-improved header design over tri-y setup
-aggressive factory tune
-short throw 6-speed manual
-finned diff. cover (from GT500)
-some derivation of the FR3 suspension, modified for the 2011 slightly.
-4" exhaust

I will say this now -

A 2012 Boss means nothing if Grabber Orange isn't brought back (and available only on the 2012 Boss)

The comment he makes about weight QC is very interesting. I think that's a very cool step in the right direction for enthusiasts.

We have max/min part weights we have to hit now - scale gives a green light if in spec, red light if too heavy or too light. There is other work I can't speak of on this board too, but suffice to say that weight is now a big issue at Ford (all models, but Mustang in particular).
