New BOSS 302 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

RICKYRJ1 · 01-30-2011

Just watched a 1hr show on the new BOSS 302. Seemed like a badass racecar for the common man to me. Would like the opinions of the guys that know more than me about cars & racing (THAT WOULD BE EVERYBODY)!
I just know what looks good (Bling, Bling)

My son and I saw the new Ford Boss 302 Mustang at the Washington Auto Show over the weekend and were quite impressed. Wow, 302 CID DOHC V8 pumping out 440 hp and 7500 rpm redline!

No doubt one of the best of the current crop of Detroit pony cars to come along. Hate to say it, but it was hard to get excited about the Dodge SRT Challenger and Chevy SS Camaro also on display after seeing the new Boss.

Bet the new Boss 302 hit's the 50K plus price tag with dealer "mark up".

One has to respect Ford, and their commitment to looking forward imho. The game is theirs to control if they keep up their marketing, and advancements with technology. Shows you the difference in effective mgmt.

And Ford get's respect by keeping ahead through better management. they were wise and didn't fall into the government goof. The dealers are going to prove to be a let down.
IMO ... opinions vary.
Heck , a street version Boss 302 priced at 35-38K would be a must buy.

Ah but the smart money builds something that draws people in to look, and then they buy what they can truly afford (look at boss, buy gt). This is the very reason that I couldn't understand toyotas marketing ploy with eliminating the Supra. People would show up at a showroom to look at a supra, and buy a Celica, or Camry. Brand recognition is worth more than one would think at face value.

A few more "clients" under your "protection" and you'd be in
