    2018 Boss 302? Let the rumors begin

    Ford is coming out with a brand new 7+ litre engine some time in 2019. That's pretty much the right dimension for a Boss 429.

    Mustang GT Becomes British Police Car

    British Police may be "assessing" the Mustang but there is no guarantee that it will pass testing or be selected as the winning model. After all, Australian Police conducted their own tests and the Mustang failed...

    Ford Mustang II Ford's ugly duckling.....

    LOL. My first car was blue '77 Mustang II. I had a lot of fun in that car. I'd love to build a car like the one above.

    Old School GT350

    They did put a whole new transmission in it. That was their final attempt at a fix. When I told the regional rep it didn't work, they offered the Customer Loyalty Coupon instead of another attempt to fix it. I know a new clutch is in my future. It just bugs me that that it seems required...

    Boss resale starting to erode?

    The Black Book trade-in value of my Boss seems to have come up a couple thousand dollars since last time I checked using their online calculator.

    Old School GT350

    Primarily grinding going into second gear. Not notchiness but gut-wrenching metal on metal grinding with the clutch fully depressed. Also notchy going into third. After the third rebuild, I took it back to the dealer the very next day and the service manager himself got a nice crunching shift...

    Old School GT350

    It's nice to see that you acknowledge the faulty stock clutch as the problem and not "operator error" as originally suggested. However, I still blame Ford for selling a vehicle that becomes nearly unusable within a few thousand miles and offers no satisfactory option to restore it to proper...

    Old School GT350

    I wouldn't be going there. I've got two techs and two service managers at two different Ford dealers that agree my transmission was not working properly. If the clutch was the problem, they should have replaced the clutch during one of the three rebuilds or the replacement of my trans. As it...

    BOSS differences vs. the GT

    I'm in Canada. I also used more than one dealer to achieve a less than satisfactory result.

    Curious: How many Bosses have you seen?

    I'm a few months late to this thread but that was most likely me in the Windsor SBY. There's four or five Bosses kicking around Windsor but I think I have the only SBY. I've had the Boss in Toronto a few times too.

    BOSS differences vs. the GT

    That's not my experience with my '01 Cobra. I traded that piece of junk Cobra in to the Chevy dealer when it was only five months old because I could not get the Ford dealer to fix it even after acknowledging it's issues. The Boss 302 was the first time I trusted Ford again with a performance...

    GT350 Photos and Specs

    I agree. I would order without stripes as well. I realize I'm saying this to a bunch of Boss owners who obviously appreciate stripes but the stripes on the GT350 look oddly out of proportion to me.

    Another Calif Boss 302 Yay or Nay thread.

    Has anybody put an anthracite wheel on a SBY Boss? That's the direction I think I'd like to go but I've never seen it done.

    GT350 Climate Testing Video

    I'm sure the Boss was tested the same way but getting a smooth shift at 40 degrees is too much to ask, never mind -40 degrees. They call this crunchy shifting on cold start-up a normal operating condition of the car. These tests may make for interesting propaganda but it doesn't leave me with...
