I've been in love with the boss 302 since I was a kid and as a teenager I bought a 70 fastback to make a clone out of but wound up selling it. I've been waiting a long time for a new version to be built and it's finally here. It's awesome! Hats off to Ford. I've been totally stoked about the new 5.0 and was waiting to see if there would be a Boss and here it is and even better than I imagined..

 

 

^^ that would make for such an awesome garage.

 

hell yeah it would! And I didn't know Gary had an R either! I should that add that in the picture lol

 

Yep, this has become my new desktop background.

 

Why still, no word on cost?
I'm holding at my 38,900...

Tho I wouldn't be shocked to see a 40k+ sticker.

 

Three of us! My wife says I should get Race Red. What does she know?

 

TN, how do you do it?

 

Question - do we know if the Recaros have side air bags? Would you be able to drop those right into a GT if so?

 

Wouldn't be shocked at any sticker price because you know the dealers WILL add handily to that amount. UGH.
I like the mechanicals, do not care for the limited (and IMO some rather odd) color combinations. Looks like the Boss 302 LS is the spiritual successor to the '00 Cobra R. For example: Big front splitter guaranteed to get destroyed if driven in the real world? Check. Recaro front seats and rear seat delete? Check. Brake cooling package? Uh-huh. Bigger rear wing? Yup, got that too - though not quite as tall. Still, good job Ford for actually bringing something like this to market. <--- what most people who overestimate their cars' performance will be doing shortly after meeting the Boss on the road or track.
Seriously want to see how fast this thing runs on the track and on a drag strip. Don't care about pricing information because the local dealers here will do their best to make it unobtanium for mere mortals = anyone not cross-shopping GT500s, Corvettes, or exotic cars.

 

betcha whoever decided on the color schemes really upset the engineering guys...twotoned bosses?

 

Yeah I hear ya. I still say that it stickers at about 40K for the street Boss and a little more for the LS. If it turns out to be less than that, I'll be very happy. Along the lines though, I think we can expect to see some serious ADMs at first. Think about the markups for the Shelby GT and the Bullitt when they first came out, then consider how much more car the Boss is compared to those two and things could get interesting. Gonna be an interesting spring.

 

That's what I am thinking too. Would suck to have to wait another year and a half. None of the current colors do squat for me though.

 

Anyone else think its midly amusing that the stock spoiler on this monster is the base model v6 unit?
I like the torsen lsd&recaros being packaged together but to me the rear seat delete should be a part of that package to I mean come on if you track the car enough to need those recaros you don't give a **** about rear seat passengers
I am really curious to see how these sound real world as I understand it that side exhaust is actually functional with the intent that track guys would remove it and replace it with something like electric cutouts right? I wanna hear what is sounds like just going thru the side pipes
I know its off topic but man if you could get those recaros with the rear seat delete in a perf pack v6 with a few of the other things thrown in like the brembos and suspension bits, ad direct injection some freer flowing mufflers&a better factory tune for say 330-340hp wow what a track car that would be at around 3500#s it would shock a lot of people

 

I saw this picture, and the Kona/White stang on the left almost looks Black/silver and I thought how awesome it would be if Black/silver were offered.

IMO, they have one good color combination offered so far (black on orange). Perhaps Performance white will be good too.

 

Forged pistons and better rods. Awesome.

 

Any word on how many of these Ford is capped to produce each year?

 

what color will be offered and will a vert be offered?

 

Also is the front body kit necessary for aerodynamics? I don't like the way it looks...but its probably necessary for performance. Not sure i'm crazy about the over the top orange accents would like to see a normal boss 302 that is not so over the top

 

ok actually reading the thread i think anybody who wants sync or a vert (like myself) would be buying this car for the wrong reasons. Its clearly strictly for the track and performance but i'm not crazy about the exterior color options
