    Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the Boss 302 come with 2 different keys? One key for daily driving and the other for the track as it changed the ECU settings?

    Black key for normal driving and red key for track. They refer to it in the news article above.

    Yeah I’m not fond of reading long articles lol. I can’t even read a book without my mind wandering off.

    As an owner of a 70 Boss 302 (however needs a lot of TLC) the Hagerty value is the part of the article I found very interesting:

    1969 Mustang Boss 302

    Engine V-8, 4942 cc
    Power 290 hp @ 5800 rpm
    Torque 290 lb-ft @ 4300 rpm
    Weight 3400 lb
    0–60 mph 6.0 sec
    Top speed 130 mph

    Price when new $3958
    Hagerty #2 value $87,000–$108,000

    2013 Mustang Boss 302

    Engine V-8, 4951 cc
    Power 444 hp @ 7400 rpm
    Torque 380 lb-ft @ 4500 rpm
    Weight 3641 lb
    0–60 mph 4.2 sec
    Top speed 161 mph

    Price when new $49,990
    Hagerty #2 value $39,000–$45,000


    Built not bought! Follow this link to my 08 GT/CS Air Lift Performance Suspension Install Thread or this link to my Garage Thread

    My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my car and parts for what I told her they cost!

    The Red Track key was what I used almost all the time. It was a $302 option, programed @ the dealership. Increased performance and old school lope out of the side and rear pipes was music to my ears...and on decel some nice snap, crackle pop!

    Could be my taste for a mustang is leaning towards the vintage. Would love to have a 65 fastback all modernized but with keeping the heritage look.
    I'd love a 65 fastback with a modern drive train, brakes and suspension. Loved my first one.

    Couple model years newer....but what you're looking for. Need some very deep pockets though.

    Saw that vid. Nice car, but when it comes to the GT500E look visually, got to get the additional body pieces done right. I don’t like how most do the flares, side scoops, and side exhaust skirts molded to the body. I like how the original movie car had them as a “add on” , and left the seems .

    Yah, a few variations on the theme out there for sure. One things for sure....they have become super popular again...amongst those with deep pockets.

    I love the classic 69/70 Boss cars, But realistically they can't compare to the newer cars! period, in their day they were good, most are cruiser and rarely tracked, they have the cool factor 100 percent!!

    Ive seen people make them in modern curve huggers and well performers, but the cost of that is double to triple what a newer Boss car is and if you were luck it may hang with one on the track!
