Kind of vague -- 439hp, $39,999??? -- but promising.
I might hope for a touch more power over the GT, maybe closer to the 450hp mark, but given that the GT has ample power anyway, even a mild bump would be nice.
In any case, the original Boss 302 was far more about handling and dynamics rather than brute force, I hope chassis upgrades and tuning represent the bulk of the effort (and not a bunch of overwrought, juvenile graphics -- keep it serious, simple and functional, not a show boat).
As for price, if they can keep it in the lower $30K range, then they might have a real winner here.

Here's how I came up with my number:
Base MSRP for a GT is $29,645
Base MSRP for a GT500 is $48,645
Difference of $19,000. Split the difference and you've got $8,500.
$29,645 + $8,500 = $38,145
My guess is that's a bit high, so we bump it down $150 from that and I get $37,995.
Also, considering the GT500 SVTPP is a $3,495 option, and the rumors are that it'll get that suspension and wheels, you have to assume that the car will cost AT LEAST $3,495 more than a base GT.
$29,645 + 3,495 = $33,140.

There is no way the Boss is going to under $40K, I wish it would be but no way....Its like when I first looked at the Shelby GT350 and thought..... Well the 500 is this much it probably is around $50K I can do that then BLAM! $75 LARGE!

The car is going to be slotted between the GT and GT500, so why would it come in above $40k?
