The "Boss"
 
Just finished watching a show on speed channel all about the Boss 302. It's going to basically a full blown track car with license plates. They even Conway with 2 separate keys. One for DD and the "race" key. The "race" key enables launch control, enables the race tune, etc. Pretty ingenious! Once it comes out it will start from $40k and up. Anyways here a link about it.:tup:

Saw most of the show too. It was good. But I'd rather have a button than 2 different keys.

I dont know I wish Ford went all out like the nismo as far as appearance all of their models look so similar.

Just remember which key you give to the valet guy :eekdance:

:iagree::rofl2:

But if their gonna go through all that trouble with different keys, most cars have a valet key already anyway. Why not limit the crap out of it as well then, like 2000rpm's and 15mph or something.

They did different keys so they don't need to worry about passing EPA with the "race" key. Since it is sold as a separate "track-only" addition, it doesn't need to pass any emissions testing or MPG standards.

^ This.

The Red key is a $300 "off road use only" option. This keeps the EPA away.

Great idea. Then maybe I would actually use valet

I think the Laguna Seca edition is going to be a hot commodity. A true track ready car that you can take from the dealer showroom to the race track. Nismo should take note and produce a Nismo Suzuka edition.

Would it kill Ford to get some new interior designers???? That looks like something right out of the 70's as have all the interiors coming out of the US lately. :shakes head:

Agreed. That would be sweet.

I really like mine. It's very well done. The only thing I don't like is the retro gauge fonts on the regular models. The GT500 and Boss have better faces IMO.

The retro font makes me puke, they did the same thing in the Camaro. Fortunately in that car you can bring up a digital speedometer in the center as the regular one is pretty unreadable.
