Kona Blue with white stripes will be a HOT looking car.

This is a GREAT TIME to be a muscle car enthusiast.

You do realize the SRT CHallenger is getting upgraded for 11 including a 6.4 C8 which should should come in between 480 and 505 hp? Anywho, that is totally awesome, one hell of a package! You have to give Ford props for just totally taking it to the next level!

Remember, in this case you have to use the word "expensive" as it relates to what you're talking about. This is a limited edition bad ass. I'm not nut swinging at all. I cannot wait to see the Z28, I'm quite sure I'll be drooling over that beauty as well.

Albeit true, this is a higher hp car than the GT, which is already over 400, and weighs less....

In all fairness Boss is probably just as big to the Mustang as some of Shelby's stuff...but not as corporate lol.

From a previous Mustang Bullitt owner, I have to say it's a tad flashy for my taste. It would be nicer if they brought back some more styling from the original Boss and made it look more mean rather than flashy.

True. I just hope these cars end up in the hands of enthusiasts and don't spend their life as garage queens being wiped down by a diaper every sunday morning.

440HP and that suspension setup doesn't necessitate a "mean" look

When I look at those pictures, it reminds me of a teenager with bad taste started modding. I'm not talking about the performance upgrades/suspension etc.

To each their own! I dont like it..but then again I think the Camaro ground FX option looks like a retard teenager started modding too.

chain777 · 08-13-2010, 11:33 AM

After doing some more reading on the Ford site, I see they totally upgraded the engine internals. Forged pistons, sodium valves, valve springs, oiler cooler and upped the revs to 7500.

This won't be cheap, but they did it right. I'd take one over a GT500.

Will the Camaro have something to compete with this? The Z/28 is going to be duking it out with the GT500, but this car is in a class by itself. They benchmarked it against a BMW M3.

Well I'm quite sure this won't be the only color combo it's offered in
