There is a Boss coming. 2009 or 2010. Not a whole lot is known, but it will be very short in production, and has a pretty good power plant. That's coming from someone on the inside. Shinoda doesn't own Boss. Ford still owns that. But they have the rights to use the name "Boss" along with their name "Shinoda". That's why you always see their products with "Boss Shinoda" on it.
About the Boss name, here's a link to a discussion that I had with someone from Shinoda, who in fact, stated that:

The Shinoda family owns/purchased the legal rights to the Boss Mustang from Ford. Legal problems would most likely prevent any other Boss, so while I have no personal knowledge of Ford's plans, it would seem much more likely that a Mach 1 will be the new specialty Mustang. However, Shinoda Performance (Pensacola, Fl) will still continue producing several versions of the licensed Boss Mustang.

Something like this sporting a 400hp DOHC 5.0 would be sweet. But until the words "Boss Mustang" start trickling out of the mouths of Ford reps in public arenas...........I'll stick to the "believe it when I see it" section.[&o] I guess Ford giving us a 400+hp NA Boss just seems like a stretch to me at this point. I hope they prove me wrong though.

There is a Boss crate engine for sale if I remember. You could always do a swap

Isn't the Boss Mustang just (lack of a better word) a Mustang with a Boss 302 engine, Boss 302 side-stripes, and some other goodies like a shaker / body kit / exhaust?
I agree, it's a clone, but it runs exactly like an original one.
