The hugely successful Mustang is scheduled to get a major makeover in 2008, just in time to meet Chevy's new Camaro and Dodge's new Challenger head on in this century's musclecar war. While the underpinnings will be largely carried over, we hear every exterior panel, apart from the roof center, will be changed. It'll still look like a Mustang, say insiders, but will be less retro than the current car.
Before then, though, Ford will launch a 21st-century Boss Mustang. And like the storied Boss Mustangs of 1969, it'll be powered by a rev-happy V-8 of about 5.0 liters. The new Boss engine is a alloy- block, naturally aspirated V-8 developed from the current modular engine architecture. Whisper out of Dearborn is it's good for at least 390 horsepower, enough to tackle GM's 400-horse LS2. The Boss interior will be stripped out to keep costs down. But the good news for drivers is the car will get the impressive Shelby GT500 suspension setup.



This article and picture was lifted from the Motor Trend's magazine site. Just want to share it with you. I want a Boss. Can I afford who knows?

Only thing missing is that silly 15 decal on the side of the door. However I have faith that Ford will do it just like they stuck to making the Bullitt. Price , I don't know but it can't be anymore pricey than the Camaro or Challenger. Hell right now at a dealership near Charleston, South Carolina they are selling a Shelby Cobra 500 GT for 43,650. Now that's a steal compare to some markups. I'm talking about the 500 horse stang too. Back to the subject Ford is going to do something. Hell this mustang is their best seller in the car department and maybe trucks soon the way the gas prices are going.

So not much change with the body...
Stripes and Cobra wheels. Woopy!
Not even a Shaker?[&:]

I'm affraid it's pricewill go in the GT500 territory.
I like the idea of the 5.0 mill, maybe the Cammer?

it's definitely nice to see a boss come back around, but i don't think it'll be worth the price. i hope it is, don't get me wrong, but i expect markup to be ridiculous...
