If I had the money, a place to properly work on and store an original Boss 302, it would be on my short list of must do things.

no better time than now to get one, prices are low

A friend of mine with a 1995 Cobra R and a 2010 Shelby GT-500 has already called the V.P. of the local Ford dealer and has his name on the list to be the first one in the area to order a new one when they come out.

Wonder if they'll get a shaker and/or a 'G' engine code in the VIN???

I think that would be a good move, I am also wondering if there will be two versions, one with the Shaker and one without. With the Mach it had to have the Shaker to really distinguish it from a GT. But the Boss I think is a different case, either way I hope it is just one bad azz car.

That would be a hoot!

Shouldn't we be hearing something either today or tomorrow?

Love to see it, but, I know I can't afford it.

Remember the boss is the road race car was never a 1\4 mile car... put a shaker hood on it and a nice set of boss stripes some gear options cool set of wheels and sell it for 38k

Funny. That's similar to how the 03/04 Mach 1's were advertised (except for back seats, etc)

To celebrate the racing heritage of the new Mustang Boss 302, Ford will also offer a limited number of Boss 302 Laguna Seca models, named for the track where Parnelli Jones won the 1970 Trans-Am season opener in a Boss 302. Aimed at racers more interested in on-track performance than creature comforts, the Boss 302 Laguna Seca has increased body stiffness, a firmer chassis set-up and an aerodynamics package carried over almost in its entirety from the Ford Racing Boss 302R.

[Uloset]

This is ridiculous I can't get ride of the Mach it only was 18,500 miles on it and I have no where else to put another car.

Looks like another great special edition Mustang. Kinda wished they'd put the Shaker on it, but very sharp never the less! WTG Ford!

[Unrealford]

I love the Black one....

[32vFTW]

I really like the street-ready Boss, but personally, I think the Leguna Seca exterior graphics and wheels are a complete fail (comes across very ricey). I showed my dad, and he's going to marlow ford to talk about ordering a white and black one.

[03mach1]

they show a laguna edition one silver and red on the Ford site, yuk...

Not sure now which way to go, I kinda like the Laguna, but would have to check out all the colors avialable.

Photochopped in yellow.....let's hope they have that color!!

I agree.

I'm looking forward on hearing more about the quad-exhaust set up. It's going to be interesting how aftermarket companies are going to tackle that, I imagine it'll be a pretty penny.

I don't think there would be a need for an aftermarket exhaust. There is already a provision for electric dumps built in!
