People arent thinking this through. You will have to completely void your warranty to get the power levels that have been mentioned in this thread. You have to use ford's ProCal tuning software to tune it and still keep the warranty. That means no custom tune. Fastlane Motorsports only saw 400RWHP on a Special Edition 5.0 with a Whipple on it @ 5 PSI(A result of having to use ProCal). No 5.0 will be seeing 500HP N/A, plug back in and get real. The 5.0 still has a lot to prove when it comes to modded power. And lets not start talking about the cash sink the boss will be. Market support is also already well established for the Cobra, not so much for a brand spanking new vehicle.

I personally think the new boss mustang is ugly. The only reason I don't own a newer mustang is because I LOVE the simplicity of the sn95s. The cable clutch and throttle are just raw and I love it! I'll look for refinement and comfort in my DD.
