pretty messed up when you nearly die in a plane crash and people post a picture of your busted up mug on the internet.

Like Ford would debut a car designed for the road race circuit as a Nascar pace car! And two days after the Explorer reveal to steal it's thunder?

Well, it seems more logical than a Fiesta.

Just found this VERY interesting post. Apparently there are two versions of the BOSS 302 coming out...
One to be announced in August, the other in December. One will be a volume version, the other an SE...
Hmmm.

that post seems to imply an SE and then more of an R model.

Sure, it could be looked at that way. The question I have is whether 'nnn' is closer to 100 than 1000.

That rumor has been out for a while - personally I would be disappointed if Ford makes an R1 powered Boss R model in very low production volumes while making a higher volume SE model with just a warmed over 5.0L. Another post seemed to indicate the target HP for the SE Boss was only 430. That would be a huge disappointment in my book.

Which version are you wanting to go for, the R1?

Horsepower by itself is just a number. The '07 GT500 showed that an impressive horsepower number does not an impressive sports car make. At least, not if you like going around corners.

Given the choice, I would prefer the BOSS 302 put out 430 HP and weigh less than the GT as opposed to 480 HP and weigh more than the GT.

I'm a fan of Colin Chapman's thinking: "To go faster, just add lightness."

That's kinda funny, and says a whole lot about nothing...other than its coming.

IIRC Multimatic has worked closely with Ford on a number of occasions. One I can remember is the FRPP handling pack for the 2005....

What I learned is that Multimatic is manufacturing some of the parts for the road car.
