"Track use only" "Yea right" my thoughts exactly!

[@homeofthemad3044]

If only they remade the Boss 429.

[@AutoYoung]

The anniversary of that car is coming up and I think that's why Ford hasn't released a new GT500 yet cuz it's gonna be a BOSS 429 or the Mach 1 like they've been hinting at. I hope it's both honestly but the top car bringing back the BOSS 429 name with a twin turbo 5.0? 😍😍😍😍

[@homeofthemad3044]

Auto Young I don't think they are gonna do a Boss 9 and here is why. You clearly don't know that much about American muscle. True American muscle cars would never have a turbo, I am not saying a turbo is bad I am just saying there is no place for them on a muscle car. Second the reason why they call it a Boss 429 is because the engine has 429 cubic inches. That translates to 7 liters and 7 liters is a massive engine by today's standards and I don't think they will build it that big. Plus they can't have a 50 year reunion for every Mustang because there are like 10 Mustangs that are 50 years old.

[@homeofthemad3044]

Auto Young You are still an idiot for not knowing what 429 is. Giving a twin turbo 5 liter to a car with 429 on the badge is like saying a nuclear submarine is powered by sails, it's a lie that doesn't make sense.

[@nicholasbolton5554]

I rode in the 302 Laguna seca today. My old neighbor got his a few months ago for just $40k. It looks exactly the same as this one except his is orange and the light deletes we're already removed for air flow. He floored it and I had the time of my life. As someone who drives a Honda rice rocket, I now respect mustangs. I got thrown back in the seat so hard it was hard to breathe.

[@johnlucero9843]

Tune, intake, and full exhaust from headers back will do wonders on the Coyote engine and it will sound beautiful.

[@v.e.7236]

3:58 Ha! Port matching is what made my '67 351C Mustang so much faster than the other guys on the street. I massaged that whole engine, from connecting rods to oil returns to the heads and intake manifold. I could (and would) turn that engine to 8K RPMs w/ a smile on my face at the sound that thing made. Bravisimo! Man I miss that car. You never seem to know what you've got til its gone, sometimes.

Esthetically, the 69 Shelby's are better looking. Got soft and sloppy, though.

Favorite year of the Mustang. I prefer the 2013 and 2014 over the 2015. I'd definitely put an Offroad X-pipe and roush axleback tips. The sound will be heavenly...

I've watched this video a few times and the one where Jay talks to Mr Iaccoca with the '15 Stang and it seems like he was more excited about this generation and admired it a little more.. Probably just me, and yea I'm a very proud owner of a '14 GT Track Pak, and after seeing the two in person already.. that new one is nice, but there's just something about the S197 from '11-'14 years that I'm just drawn too and like a little more.

[@jakekrahn4869]

ford should make a boss 429 & 351 like they did with the 302

[@Sheehy223]

Meh... Lately Ford has been more about size:power ratios. For them to make a car with a 429 cubic inch V8 today would be cool, but impractical, and could spoil the handling of the car thanks to the inherent size of the block. Frankly I'd prefer if they kept making engines with no more than 6.0 Litres of displacement and still crazy amounts of horsepower and torque. Apparently the new GT500 is going to have a twin turbo version of the "Voodoo" flat plane crank 5.2L V8 you'd normally find in the GT350. And paired with the 8200 RPM redline, those turbos could be making a shitload of boost and all through the range, which will more than likely be enough to absolutely spank anything else Fiat/Chrysler or GM currently make or will make in the near future. As much as I love Superchargers, if Ford wants to go above and beyond, Turbos are the way to go.

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

@ Dennis Moran I am one of those guys who likes great cars of all kinds, regardless of manufacturer - and I particularly like classic American muscle cars. I'm on my second Mustang GT now - a 2013 - but I still have some love for the Camaro and Firebird. Once owned a 1969 Firebird convertible that I still kick myself for selling. I understand that the new generation of Camaros are absolute rockets in terms of their performance, but I just can't get with the exterior styling on them. It's a shame, too, because I loved how the previous generation (which ended in 2002) looked and ran. Even I liked the exterior, I still can't see out of the new Camaro. So yeah, I am crossing my fingers that the next generation of the car gives me something to get excited about.

These are so rare now, and worth much more. Such a special vehicle. Everyone will want their hands on one 10 years from now, and it will cost them likely twice as much as MSRP was.

[@yizeverienametaken]

If the mustang, camaro, and challenger aren't muscle cars then that means they don't make muscle cars... Nevermind that they are over 400 hp, rear wheel drive, coupes that seat 4 people, open grille design, v8 rumble and fit the exact description of a muscle car (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_car). If the Buick Grand national from from 84 to 88 and the monte carlo SS from 83 to 87 are considered muscle then you must not have two brain cells to rub together if you think this isn't muscle.

[@racer774]

Otto von Chesterfield, Esquire If I may suggest, please don't completely rely on Wiki for your information since it can be edited by most anyone and until any possibly erroneous info is caught and corrected (if it is) it will display something other than the truth. It seems valid what I read for muscle car just now. I realize you were replying with your info to someone that didn't think this Mustang was a muscle car. Of course it is. A modern muscle car. I agree with all you said with exception of the years being incorrect and I added info which in most rodder's minds disqualifies many of the Buick turbos and all of the Monte Carlos produced after 1974 (last year of available 454). As far as your info regarding Buick Grand Nationals (T-Type Regals included), the only true, high output models produced from the factory were the '86-'87 models w/ intercoolers. Those are the only two beasts. The 1978-1985 T-Type and 1984-1985 Grand Nationals were not intercooled turbos and without modifications but the SFI non-turbos CAN easily become fast!,Without factory intercoolers, they were only marginally faster than the Camaros and Firebirds produced the same years. The earlier models were even slower.. Buick produced a 1982 Grand National (2-tone paint, even) that had a 4.1 V6 non-turbo with only 125 hp but was available with a 3.8 turbo which had only 175 hp. Hardly what I would consider a muscle car just as any of the other non-intercooled Regal T-Types and GNs. Same goes for the 1983-1988 Monte Carlo SS. Sure, most had a muscle car look but not the performance.

[@yizeverienametaken]

Racer Thanks for the info. I checked some of the sources of the wikipedia article and it seems that the V8 versions are muscle and the V6 is pony and that sounded correct to me.

[@racer774]

So is my Barton with 2 post bracket, extremely close and strong as an ox. That being said, I hear the MGW is the best on the market now.

[@MrRaitzi]

Don't change it if it works for you.

[@KelsS1k]

they just say that to protect their product, Aftermarket parts are always better then stock

[@MrRaitzi]

Many aftermarket companies also copy-paste the designs from car to car without doing car specific research first. There are of course companies that really develop parts for cars and they can be good.

[@brandonj3556]

[@Just_JoshE]

I'm gonna go ahead and call bullshit on the pat about cold air intakes. Aftermarket parts are almost always better than OEM as far as performance goes. If aftermarket intakes did nothing, they wouldn't sell. That engineer is simply lying. Look up any dyno video, I have a CAI on mine and it improved air flow and HP.

[@Ahennem]

Did you get a tune with your aftermarket intake? If you did that's where the majority of the gains come from. Just an intake on a coyote 5.0 will get you less than 10hp on the top end. The tune will make a huge difference though.

[@salzero1]

I agree with you. Same thing I thought when I heard him say it. And as Ahennem said, a tune with the intake makes most of the difference. I gained 41 RWHP with a larger throttle body, intake and (with tune) and cat back exhaust on my 2014 GT. Also, Jay Leno said what he likes about a naturally aspirated engine vs a turbo or supercharge is that everything happens right now meaning no lag, there is no lag with a supercharger. Even turbos which do have lag have come a long way. So he's off on that one.

[@Hole_Motorsports]

the shifter is definitely bs. mgw shifter feels 1000x better than stock.

[@adrienperie6119]

"If aftermarket intakes did nothing, they wouldn't sell." Of course, that's why electric "turbos" sell like crazy on ebay without being able to generate a single horsepower.

[@Hole_Motorsports]

Adrien Perié those are for idiots. with a tune you will see significant power gains with a cai over the factory air box.

[@sevenwilliams6225]

Jay is one of the coolest guys for all humanity... can't wait to meet this guy one day

[@zacharylewis4860]

it was impressive to see the way he closed the hood like that

[@ubbgn]

Wow, I'm amazed, 19 century technology arrives in 2013!lol

[@theacehd1742]

The stuff about upgrades is absolutely not true! They build these cars under tight budgets, each piece has to meet certain cost restrictions. Cars are not engineered without cost in mind, unless you are talking about extreme cars 500,000$+. Specific exhausts that cost $2000-3000 for a full setup are obviously going to be better than the stock system.

[@FoxHoundUnit89]

THIS CAR you wouldn't get a benefit from putting some stupid short ram into it. Other cars, possibly, but not this particular one. He just wasn't specific enough.

[@nbrigdan]

FoxHoundUnit89 That's just wrong. Please, look up a comparison test of intakes for this car. They are unbiased as they test a whole bunch, and there are gains with almost every intake. Ya some intakes will lose power, but just be smart and use google.

[@nbrigdan]

***** Eh, I would disagree to an extent. Yes, it was engineered very well, but they are engineered to a specific product, not actually to be the best possible with the available resources. The engineers have to work within budgets, regulations placed on automakers, demands from their bosses, etc. And also they can't adjust specifically for where the car will be used or the octane. I just got my car dyno tuned on 94 octane and it runs SO much smoother than stock now (2010 car, so very modern). You just can't match aftermarket because it's so personalized and done on a case by case basis, as opposed to from the factory where they have to make the car usable no matter what the scenario, altitude, location, etc

[@Brian-yt8eo]

True cold air intakes probably. Better air flow in and out creates power end of story. What people dont understand after you open up the intake and exhaust good flowing intake heads become the limitation.

[@1988joshkimbrell]

so you get 2 keys.. the white one is to keep at home on the dresser

[@stephenhartford6697]

What an honor it would be 2 meet jay Leno and have a tour of his car garage.

[@gerrymiles4278]

I took a 2013 ford mustang base model out for a test drive, it comes standard 302 horse power motor, the sound was just awesome, I pasted a semi, floor the gas and then looked back I was already three blocks away and doing over 100 kph, and the tach did not even go over 2000. I did not qualify for financing but that is one hell of a car even for a base model,the engine was just massive looking. ford really has done right by allowing bigger motors at reasonable pricing.

[@MikeHedges1993]

+gerry miles i test drove one, it was amazing to drive, but for me it would've been a terrible daily driver. I ended up going with a 2012 mustang gt cali special, and i love it!

[@gascat100]

I don't like the 4 exhaust.. go out the side or out the back, you don't need both, just extra weight...

[@JustinAEgan]

gascat100 The Ford guy didn't get a chance to explain everything that happens when the "Track" key is used instead of the regular key. one of the features using the track Program is the 'side exhausts' are opened, which allows free flowing exhaust. So in essence, you have a builtin "Tuner program" for the engine, exhausts, steering..." all adjustable from the factory computer. Remember he did say that using the performance mode key changes 300 different parameters on the car - oh, by the way - the factory warranty is voided too!

[@Alexander.Sterling]

It gives the rear tires more heat for extra grip

[@jackisblack443]

That's a sexy BOSS.

[@iantownsend5480]

I'd love to see a boss 302 vs a M3 gts both V8 with the same bhp 444

[@xsbgtr]

Ian Townsend Better the Laguna Seca for the GTS

[@pignonMZ6]

Ian Townsend Not fair for the Mustang, it has a live rear axle, something Europeans last saw on horse and carriages... The M3 would lap it fairly quickly. The Mustang shines elsewhere, mostly on the bill...

[@utubesignupblows]

pignonMZ6 I am pretty sure this boss 302 does not have a live rear axle - it's suspension is redone

[@pignonMZ6]

Alexander Nevsky Nope, watch the video, you can see for yourself, they added HP and track suspensions, which is just silly, who wants to drive a very powerful bar of soap on a track, I'd rather have brain surgery... Basically that car is a sexy dinosaur, like the overwhelming majority of the US production since 1970, not qualified to park in any European garage and that's truly sad.

[@utubesignupblows]

pignonMZ6 oh ok, my mistake. I thought they MUST have put in independent rear suspension... otherwise this is just useless lol

[@rts1960]

I am an owner and these are a very well balanced car....best Mustang ever IMO

[@jlucas9342]

This guy is in full sales mode. jay..jay...jay.....JAY!

[@tomman7412]

Only 155 mph......that's pretty slow for how many BHPs it has.

[@SillyNamesAreSilly]

bottle2lip Often the reason they limit the speed is the limitations the car's components (like exterior body panels).

[@97markviii]

When you going to drive 155mph? Even at the track wont need to do much over 100mph

[@mikelliteras397]

it's limited because of the drive shaft and I'm sure it helps with insurance

[@blackericdenice]

dlanes 285 south in Atlanta, I hit 120mph in 2012 Kia Sedona mini van 271hp 3.5 liter v6 4387lbs. Mustang Boss, 444hp around 3500lbs. should not be a problem.

[@97markviii]

Power isn't the issue, gearing and aerodynamics is. I somehow doubt you were going 155mph and if you were it would have to had been the worst handling and extremely dangerous. There is no reason to go over 155mph.
