Ford should put the 5.0 engine in the GT350 body and make it the new Mustang Boss. Seems like an easy bridge between the GT and GT350

Basically making the Boss 302 an upper level suspension package, above the track pack, I like it. Keep the carbon wheels off of it and I think it would sell well.

What they really should make is normal GT with the GT350 motor.

For all I care, they could call it the proletariat special.

So you are saying they should make a Corvette Grand Sport competitor... Can’t say I hate the idea. I would also like an Ecoboost option while we are at it.

2.3, 2.7 or 3.5 EB?

The 2018 is basically the GT350 front and back. Like the 2013 facelift was the GT500's front. 2018 also gets mag-ride and the clutch/flywheel from the GT350, along with a 7500 rpm redline.

The 2.7 would be pretty sweet, however, realistically I’d be okay with a 2.3 with the Ford Performance tune standard.

Well, Grand Sport formula applied to a Mustang, since even the GT350R base price is less than a Corvette Grand Sport.

Wow, I didn’t realize the 18 was so redesigned. It’s almost a gen 6.5 if that’s the case

I want the 3.5 EB from the Raptor in the GT350 body/chassis. That would make an interesting BOSS.

The Boostang even gets mag-ride.

Oh wow, I think that even has the Camaro beat.

I feel bad for this Mustang.

No Mustang is a Corvette competitor no matter how hard people try and make that comparison.

The GT350 doesn’t have carbon wheels, that’s only the R.
