A few pics from the Cincinnati Auto Expo

Yellow Blaze Boss 302. Not sure if I like the color, didn't really "pop" like I though it would.

Enjoy...

Sure would like to see a white one in person.

Thanks for posting! Given the indoor lighting and what that did to the other colors, it looks better then I expected.

Wish they had the yellow blaze at the Chicago auto show

Nice. Looks like the machine edge on the wheels is polished. How polished/shiny is it?

Did you notice if the Boss has a remote release gas door cover or is it just pulled open?

Push to open. It latches shut when you click it close.

Excellent. I didn't like the easy flip open door that didn't secure the filler neck from foolish pranks.

Correct...like all 2010+ Mustangs. The no-cap filler system is convenient, however, I believe you can get a cap that fits the opening and behind the filler door.

It could just be the lighting, but I think it looks kinda pale and sickly...

It is the lighting, I was there. The vehicle has much more of a golden hue and less of a yellow one (as seen in the photos) when you see it in the flesh. It is a good looking color, and will do the Boss 'stang proud when one drives by.

Unfortunately, when I was at the show, the Boss 302 was locked, so nobody could actually comment on the fit and feel of the interior, or the engine compartment for that matter.

Did anyone else see the Boss opened?

I did. Didn't get to snap any pictures of it though. The one I saw that was opened was the one up on the dyno at the Chicago Auto Show. I liked how the interior was. I haven't had a Mustang since the 06, so I don't know how it compares with the more recent models or anything like that. Mostly I was checking out the seats though so I wasn't terribly focused on everything else. I wanted to sit in the Recaros before spending the 2 grand on the option. I figure I might as well get it loaded with everything for resale value if anything else.

Any details on this cap? I'm really nervous about running the no-cap on the track. It's fine on my Explorer, but I just see a fine mist of fuel spraying out the left side on hard right handers.

The Tri Blaze Yellow has a golden hue to it in the sun. I like it though.

Was the yellow car standard interior or have Recaro's? Would love to see some pics of that color with the standard seats.

It is just a locking cover, I think the way it is will be just fine for the track. You have to figure they were tested in trucks that are subject to rollovers. You will need to check into it but not sure it provides a new seal. Besides who steals gas anymore, they just take the whole car. Anyway you can get them from Ford or aftermarket, they are all over the place like eBay.

When gas goes above $4 again you might have some gas thieves appear...
