Stangnet: Is this a typo?

  • Sponsors (?)


I've sat in that thing. I go to that museum at least once a month, since it's like 15 minutes from me. Last time I was there, there was a sweet row of cars in the back, and a Mercury Topaz right in the middle of them all. I was a little confused.

The BOSS Mustang is the
ultimate boulevard crusing
machine that can hold its
own on the drag strip. This
idea was the brain-child of
SVT chief engineer, John
Coletti, and his engineers,
who sought to mix old with
new. They achieved this by
dropping a BOSS 429 engine
into the body of a 1994 SVT
Mustang Cobra. You can
read all about the BOSS
Mustang beating up on the
Chevy guys in the January
2000 issue of Car and Driver
magazine. There is no intent
of production for the BOSS
Mustang.

Thats the car Coletti used to drive over to the Chevy Performance Team leaders (john something) house and sit in his driveway and rev it up after work (they are friends) I have seen that car at a show...very sweet. They had that shootout in MMFF with a similar Camaro...Mustang won the 1/4 Camaro won the twisties...both were badass.
