It appears that everything you have assumed about me is way off base.
I have owned 30 cars, 26 Fords and 4 GMs. Never owned an import and unless Ford & GM go out of business I don't intend to ever get one either. So you're rather insulting telling me to go get a ricer.
I'm also old enough to have seen at least a dozen Trans-Am races between 1967 & 1971. I've got hundreds of slides of Trans-Am cars that I took at several tracks.
As a kid I eat, drank and slept road racing, Can-Am, Endurance, Trans-Am and F5000. At one point I could rattle off from memory the top 10 finishers of every Trans-Am and Can-Am race from 1966 - 1970. When I was a kid, my dream car was a 1970 Boss 302. In the mid 70's I had an opportunity to pick up a slime green one that has a 2 bbl 289 stuck into it for peanuts. The owner blew the Boss 302 motor, dropped a valve into a pistion and couldn't afford to fix it. My plans were to put in a 351 Cleveland 4bbl into it that I had sitting in the back of my father's garage. But too many other cars and no place to keep yet another one made me think better of it.
Yes the Boss 302 was one the best if the original generation Mustangs, but time has moved on and so have I. I no longer have any interst in 30+ year old cars, the new ones are so much better. The reason why I am here, is to learn about and talk about the 2005 Mustang. Why you are here I really don't know. We were having a nice discussion dreaming about a new Boss 302 that would do justice to the original, but some people (that's you) just want to live in the past and dump your negativity on us. Maybe you should find the vintage Mustang section and leave us alone.
Sorry if I disagree with you, but it's time for a new Boss 302 and if Ford made one with all the right stuff, I'd get one in an instant and so would thousands of other people. But then again, what I'm really hoping for is that Ford makes a new Boss 351 with the V10!
