So we gain 28 Horsepower (440 vs 412) and we lose 10 ft/lbs of torque (380 vs 390) with the new intake.
hmm..
I have been waiting and waiting for this car to come out. I have been pestering my dealer for months for any info.
Now that it is out I do have to say, this isn't what I envisioned for this car. Where is the shaker? Where are the crazy colors? The power bump is nice (dont' like loss of torque) and I do think this thing will make a great racer.
But this isn't the Boss look that I drool over...The Boss cars I love are big, mean and nasty looking. This car looks, dare I say it? Like an Import!? It seems to have lost a little of its muscle car looks?
I will have to see it in person, since I can't tell how much I like it until then. But as it stands now, I don't think I will be ordering one especially at the super inflated prices that the dealers are going to be charging.
I do have to say Kudos to Ford for releasing the car and continuing the Musclecar wars though.
I love the PJ Saleen, and the Dan Gurney. Of course being Saleen's they're pricey but from a visual and perfomance standpoint I think they are great packages.I actually like the looks of the 2012 Boss but think the Saleen PJ cars were done better.
It's definitley within the realm of possibility. We all know Ford is not shy about their special editions. lol I say start with the Boss' performance upgrades, remove the splitter, remove the decals, remove the side exhaust, leave the wheels, paint it Dark Green, voila! lolI'd have rather seen a bullet GT

Oh no, I wasn't making those suggestions for the Boss. That was my half-cocked proposal for the next "Bullitt". lol They usually have a more understated look.I like the C stripe..The splitter is only on the Laguna Sega version,
lose the big hood decal and roof decal whatever it is .. .. I like the BOSS 302 decal vs the 5.0 Emblem...
I think it would be cool to lose all the interior everything you can ...get a BOSS as stripped as you can ... I mean that is a car I think a lot of people would like ...
...I'm guessing the MSRP will be $39,995. And I bet it'll be in high demand for at least a year... so, sadly, they'll be loaded with options + dealer markup = $55k...
Anyway, that's my guess.
I do not like the looks of it at all so I don't guess I will have to worry about my dealer asking too much.
Lets just hope the engine minus the torque losing intake make makes its way into the GT. We need the forged internals for forced induction peace of mind. A stock Gt with tuning has more power without losing torque, so I think they dropped the ball on this one. Of course, once the tuners get ahold of this, they will get another 30 or 40 h.p. out of it.
The styling is a let down and I hate to admit but I'm older now and want my sound deadening.
