NLPRacing Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 430 HP and around $30K, sounds good to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLPRacing Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I can't see the video from my current location, what kinds of details are revealed? The commentator was saying that Multimatic was working with Ford on a street version of the BOSS 302 and that it would be available in August with 430 HP and around $30K. I have a feeling the info is a little mixed up. Some V6 Mustangs are going for around $30K and also I don't think it will be "available" that soon. Maybe it will appear at a show in August, but I doubt it will be at the lots that soon. Also, I would be willing to bet a BOSS 302 would be closer to $40K than $30K.

PTRocks Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 The commentator said that: The car would be "Launched to the public couple weeks in August" Multimatic is working with Ford to get the engineering of the car sorted out, lessons learned to be applied to the road car Multimatic will be manufacturing some of the components of the road car.

marksboss Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zZ1sjNmdH0&feature=player_embedded#! Amazing. 40+ years later and the "reversed C" side stripe looks as at home on that 2011 Mustang as it did in the 1969 Boss version and the Ford GT before that.

atvman Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) I really hope this is the real deal, I would love to own a modern Boss 302. I also hope it isn't too hard core for my wife. Edited July 31, 2010 by atvman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atvman Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Soft BOSS in August... HOT BOSS December... What does that mean? Are there going to be two Boss variants? That doesn't make much sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMSA-XJR9 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 What does that mean? Are there going to be two Boss variants? That doesn't make much sense to me. Think 'Cobra' and 'Cobra R' . . . . or at least that is my understanding . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atvman Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Think 'Cobra' and 'Cobra R' . . . . or at least that is my understanding . . . . Where does that leave the GT500? There's no way it could run with a several hundred pound lighter "Boss R" around a road course. Maybe Ford will decide to give it more drag strip friendly suspension or turn it into a power cruiser.

White99GT Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I hope it gets some engine hardware upgrades, like the 302R intake manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Ford will decide to give it more drag strip friendly suspension or turn it into a power cruiser. I was watching Hot Rod TV over the weekend and they were airing a re-run of an episode dedicated to Carrol Shelby. He mentioned that his shop was capable of modifying other brands besides Fords. He also said he was looking forward to working on "pocket rockets" again. I wonder if his relationship with Ford is starting to wither, again?

The CNC ported heads and hotter cams wouldn't hurt either, but I doubt Ford can build those at an acceptable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had you said Parnelli Jones and/or George Follmer that would have lent more credence. http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=404fAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ndEEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2774,4945482&dq=parnelli+jones+mustang&hl=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue II Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 The Boss 302R has stock heads and cams. How about a BOSS 429 drag car? Follow on to the Cobra Jet. 50 produced. Do you think they would sell? grinning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atvman Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) The Boss 302R has stock heads and cams. I couldn't tell you for sure if the 302R has CNC ported heads, but the road version does so I'd assume the 302R does as well. To take advantage of the racing intake manifold, cylinder head airflow was fully optimized by CNC porting the entire intake and exhaust port and combustion chamber. The painstaking machining process takes 2.5 hours per head to complete. I couldn't find anything about the cams, so I'm assuming they are stock GT units. However, the rest of the valvetrain has been modified as follows To accompany the higher peak-power engine speed, the team had to engineer a lightweight, high-speed valvetrain and bulletproof reciprocating assembly that would not only hold together for 150,000-plus miles but also produce power at peak rpm Edited August 16, 2010 by atvman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
