Yeah guess is right at this point. I'm gonna say the street Boss is going to come in at around 40k, the LS of course a few more. 36K is about the price of a moderately optioned 5.0, with all the upgrades to this beast I simply can't imagine it coming in at less than 40. We shall see...
Okay, so my boyfriend who is Mr. Nissan above all else just told me he'd take the Laguna Seca package over a GTR, 370Z, and ISF. Ford has officially made me speechless.
I really want that car. I love the larger tires, Recaro's, rear seat delete, suspension...everything! Ford really hit this one out of the park.

I'll take mine in Kona, with a 70's style hockey stick in silver/gray, Recaros and the 302R wheels in argent. Otherwise give me a decal delete or make a "special" Gurney schemed car like the 302R. While I'm typing up my dream sheet... Glass back and sync/nav and a rear seat delete option.
That Boss intake is just begging for a WMS style aftermarket intake....unless they make a functional shaker at some point!

Wow, just wow ... incredible job FORD !!
Don't really care for the red painted roof on the LS ... white roof on the base Kona model looks ok, but would prefer without.
The base black wheels look more "race car" to me ... the two-toned LS wheel look nice but seem out of place on a Boss 302 (more of a Premium Appearance Package type wheel).
To me it seems Ford is going for as close to the "1969 look" as possible. Competition Orange (Calypso Corral in '69) and the rest of the colors picked fit '69 better ... where all the Grabber Colors you guys want were not available until the 1970 model year.
Interestingly, the Boss 302R and other S-197 based race cars over the past few years have had more of a 1970 theme going with the stripe style, splitters on the headlights, and grabber colors.
Now I just need to win the lottery, as this is the 1st S-197 based SE that I'd really like to have in my garage.
Too bad Chevy's rumored / upcoming 2012 Z/28 appears to be more GT500 competition rather than back to it's original roots as a B-302 competitor.

Dude! Sweet!
To me this is confirmation that Ford will come out with the 1970 version(s) next year.





Maybe we can get a group buy - and we are both named Steve!
