robertlane Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I think that due to production constraints on colors, only one or two grabber colors will make it. I'd like to see that funky green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangFanatic Posted December 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I'm sure you are correct Robert. I'd agree, the Green is a must it's a toss up between Orange and Blue for a second choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39Mustang Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Color options I'd like to see: Black Metallic Black Metallic Gray White Grabber Orange Grabber Green Grabber Blue Grabber Yellow Any others? How about Lime Green from the 70 Boss 302's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39Mustang Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 B) I think using the 5.0 Cammer is a must! I mean, a Boss 4.6 or Boss 5.4 is just not right. The concept Boss pics that you've seen on the different Mustang sites look really good. I would offer it with the option of a Shaker hood setup. Suspension should be a road race setup straight from factory. Interior should seperate the Boss from the GT, Shelby, and a Mach 1 if they should do it. Colors - Ford, pay attention... offer it with the true Boss Mustang colors like... Grabber Yellow Lime Green Calypso Coral Grabber Blue Grabber Orange and Royal Maroon, Gulfstream Aqua B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02GroundPounder Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 This is what i would like to see: 9 inch ford rearend a couple different gear ratios(3:73,4:10) 31 or 33 spline axles or even 35 short throw 6 speed manual long tube headers needs to pull at leat 1 g 13 or 14 inch brakes all around shaker hood scoop rear seat delete radio delete a/c delete lowered about 1.5 inches grabber paint colors naturally aspirated Give us some options to choose from We should be able to order it any way we want Make sure it lives up to the orginial Boss in every way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02GroundPounder Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 If ford is going to bring back one of the boss mustangs why not bring back another. Since the new corvette z06 is going to be 505 horsepower with a 427 and the shelby is 475 with the 5.4 why not bring back the Boss 429 and price it right with the z06 corvette and make the boss 520+ horsepower. Ford could develope a 429 cubic inch modular version and make it like the other boss to handle just as well if not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangFanatic Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 My assumption regarding the potential launch of the Boss is that it would likely be the '09 model year for several reasons: The 40th Anniversary of the original Boss Mustangs The potential that Ford may make some styling revisions in the '09 model year The launch of the Camaro/Challenger by the competition I also believe we will see the first S/E as a Mach I in 2008. Regarding my wish list for the Boss. I am less wedded to a revision in the rear quarter treatment as I am into adding flares for the rear quarters similar to the '69 - '70 cars, sometimes called "hips". A photoshop that was posted elsewhere on the net illustrates the concept in better detail. What I like about this chop is the rear "hips" and the side scallops, no scoops just a scallop.

MustangFanatic Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Would anyone want to see rear slats offered as an option from the factory on the new Boss? Personally, I would never put slats on my Boss but it would interesting to see what other's opinions are on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklight Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 there should never be an automatic transmission in a mustang wearing the name Boss. there has never been a factory boss auto, and there should never be one This is 100% WRONG. There was a single 1970 Boss 429 Produced with an Automatic transmission. It was configured to be shipped to Japan as a demo unit of Ford Power. The car now sits as the property of one Bill Goldberg (yes, of the WWE) with 700 original miles on it. Now you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89lxbill Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Being a drag racing fan I would have to say Automatic trans with 2500-3000 stall The 6.2L engine option all aluminum The SLA rear suspension w/gear ratio options and lighten the car up to abt 3200-3500 lbs.

snake Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Would there be any objections to build the Boss off of a non-GT body. . .like the V6? I mean, just use the V6 body and toss a 5.4L in it. Just real simple. Or would that not be enough for most people? Robert. The non-GT body would be fine with me. Seeing how a version of the GT-R front clip is used on the GT 500, the standard clip may save money and still look great. The most important thing, is getting it to market before the competitors start selling their pony cars. I am one of the people who believe a "Boss" is more important than some of the other versions that have been mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangfamilyguy Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I have two schools of thought on this - go for the Boss 302 with the Cammer (450HP) and all the dress up goodies (rear slats and spoiler, front air dam, stripes, resurrect the boss colours, make it handle with IRS, etc.) or go for the more iron fist in a velvet glove approach of the Boss 351, strictly a no-nonsense affordable go fast Mustang. Natural aspiration - I assume that Ford will want to stick with something that will be profitable and sell like crazy, the name is a legend to Ford, much like the Hemi is to Dodge, so take advantage of your strengths. The Challenger and Camaro(or if the Camaro) will be packing some serious HPS, so plan ahead a bit and cut them off at the pass. The GT500 is basically the rich man's Muscle car - make the boss affordable for everyone - just a bit above the GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfairadvantage Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 A "big" 32V 5.4L v8 would make the car more of a Boss 429 successor. The Boss 302 to me, was always about great handling and fairly high-strung horsepower from a small engine - a decontented, high tech, lightweight racer for the streets. The recent and successful Grand-Am race parts program has been in full swing for over a year now, so the chassis bits are already on the shelf. I like V8s as much as the next Mustang owner, but this time, under the hood, I would like to see Ford utilize some of their own in-house turbocharging technology from Mazda and Volvo. Wouldn't it be great to see Ford apply twin turbo technology to a rwd version of the new 3.5L V6 in the Mustang? Think about this for a moment: Mazda bumped the power of the 2.3L from 160 to 270 in the M-Speed 6; a similar 70% increase applied to the 250 hp 3.5L would put it right around 425 horsepower. Woof. A twin turbo V6 could probably be packaged to be as light or slightly lighter than the 5.0L cammer V8, it would put less of a dent in the corporate CAFE average, and should make it much easier for the hotrodder crowd to squeeze out better power numbers.

Ford could develope a 429 cubic inch modular version and make it like the other boss to handle just as well if not better. ... Already have prototype 427/9 nat.asp. aluminum V10 modular -- 650HP... was shown two years ago in both Cobra-II concept and full-size ford concept ("the 427") That would make an awesome Boss 429 base ..
