Maybe some want to start with a car with the forged motor and great suspension.
You act like this car is the best thing since the invention of electricity. I'll bet you the '69 - '70 Boss were modded as well. I don't believe every single one was kept bone stock.
My car will stay on stock tune or track Key tune only.. but that's me.
but the real question is.... WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT SOMEONE ELSE WANTS TO DO TO THEIR CAR!!!! Your over the top with this crap

The reason we have what we have today (and all the models along the way), is because people modded their cars for higher performance. The manufacturers saw this and then began offering their own versions of what they thought the buying public wanted. This goes as far back as the late '40's and especially the early '50's during the "Hot Rod" era originating in California and spreading to the east coast later on. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it did have a strong appeal whether it was a fast looking car or a "purpose built" sports car. It was the image that most people wanted in a car that was the main purchase point. From the days when Carroll Shelby was told by Lee Iacocca to "soup-up" the Mustang into the GT350, to the new Boss 302, and onward with the over-the-top 2013 GT500, Tasca Ford's modded 428SCJ that Ford readily adapted for street use, modifying has been going on for a long time. Rightly or wrongly, it is a direct result of modifications that gets us to what we have today, thankfully. Some like their cars stock and some don't.............

Steeda Gus, Awesome product glad I did not get your GT CAI yet. I want one of these for my Boss instead. Looking forward to the dyno numbers. I am also looking into Stainless Works long tube headers, any commentary on them? PM me please SCCA rules will allow the intake, headers and full exhaust with a tune but nothing else. I am looking for the best combo weight savings plus HP gain. So far I am going with your intake, the Stainless Works long tubes and catted X-Pipe backed up by the Magnaflow 3 inch competition exhaust with 5 inch round mufflers.

gus where is the pic of that new spoiler you teased not long ago, not so rice looking but taller and functional? i thought i saw it here, but i cant find it on search. was wondering if that part would fit the boss or if it needed body work to cover the factory holes
ps you need a model car for that thing and we all know CO looks the best (and is the fastest)

Yes I am looking to go to nationals, not sure about Pro, depends on tire budget. Unlike some people I cannot afford a new set of tires for each run at nationals.

cool, the shot i had seen was on a black car. that would look sick in comp orange. it's functional right? any idea what sort of down force it offers? wondering if this might pair well with the LS splitter on front. will you be offering those painted too? any idea on pricing and availability?
