Motor Trend magazine’s upcoming September issue is reporting that the Boss Mustang is a 100% go for the year 2008, before the Ford Motor Company plans to redesign the Ford Mustang line in 2009. Excited yet? Will if not you should be when you hear the rumored specs surrounding the car! Motor Trend is claiming the Boss Mustang will make use of a 5.0 liter displacement engine that will produce 390 naturally aspirated horsepower. That’s right folks, no supercharger on this bad boy. Many Mustang enthusiasts are hopeful that the 5.0 liter used will be the famous pushrod engine used up till 1995 in Mustangs. There is no word on that as of it.

On top of this excellent news of the 390 Horsepower 5.0 liter engine is the fact that the Boss Mustang is suppose to get the Shelby GT500 suspension and will also include some interior stripping to get the weight down, which has been a huge complaint from Mustang enthusiasts regarding the GT500.

Has Ford finally started to listen to their customers? If the Boss Mustang does make it into mass production it could very well be one of the hottest selling Mustangs to ever be produced. So Ford…. please don’t mess this up! This could very well be the car that breathes new life into a struggling company.
