RE: 2006 BOSS???
Since none of us seems to know why there are "Boss 289" cars running around (saw one briefly on I75 the other day), we can only speculate. Ergo...
"289" stands for:
289ci stroker mod motor --
Horsepower at the flywheel for a V6 with some bolt-ons --
Horsepower at the rear wheels for a V8 with some bolt-ons --
Torque at the rear wheels for a V6 with some bolt-ons --
Torque at the rear wheels for a stock 281 3v --
Cost of the decals --
Only engine-related decal that would fit under the old Boss stripes some dealer has found under a pile of T-shirts from the 70's --
Just because.

My dad has an 05 mustang just like that except he bought the chin spoiler and had in between the tail lights blacked out. You can see it here: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=575370

RE: 2006 BOSS???
Slick97gt You are exactly correct! The original Boss cars were named for the cubic inches.And if Ford markets a new "BOSS" they had better up the ante under the hood.This is what my real BOSS looks like WWW.1969boss429.com enjoy!

RE: 2006 BOSS???
I saw a white 2004 V6 auto with no spoiler and no hoodscoop. It didn't even have the pony package rims and it had a stripe over the hood and it said BOSS on the side. I saw this ******* drive it at Orange Park Mall, and it left me speechless. I can't believe some of the crap people do.

RE: 2006 BOSS???
The Boss coming out isn't being built by Ford. Ford sold the rights to Shinoda Performance Vehicles (SPV) They have reached an agreement giving Karen D. Shinoda ownership of the BOSS Shinoda trademark name and Shinoda is building them.
