Not stock for stock, it also would probably be more expensive to build the 2.3 but I would still like to see one at Summit. You can't tell me you're one of those "No replacement for displacement" people.
Who might sell their Boss for a 2015

Maybe buy a mach 1 if there is any plan for on soon... if not maybe 2014 z/28
That would be interesting to see. I am also interested in the new M235i as a track car.
Not at all....I had a 2012 PW Boss but sold it to my dad.
The mustang was fun to drive but too big and heavy IMHO. I'm building a civic...I like small, nimble cars.
I remember your Boss, reason I got my hood painted the way I did. It's not a drag Civic is it?
No...basically I'm building a street civic with a racing suspension and lots of motor work. It will be a great canyon carver and road course car (if they let me track it without a roll cage). I will have around 300 hp at the front tires from a naturally aspirated 2.4 liter four banger.
Depending on who you go with you probably won't need one. If you have harnesses though and no roll bar, at least, you may find it hard to get an instructor in the car.
Yes thank you, we got a little side tracked be we are better now.
I wanted to revisit this comment...I understand the nostalgia associated with a turbo 4 cylinder mustang, but don't you think an Ecoboost v6 would offer MUCH MUCH more potential from an enthusiast perspective? The aftermarket potential would be huge and this would also allow people to slowly acclimate to the inevitable demise of a V8 mustang.
Ecoboost v6 mustang just makes sense...it's the right size motor for a (slightly) more svelte Mustang.
Ford has said that it originally was going to be 2.3 Turbo or 5.0 with no V6 option at all. Personally I would never consider a V6 or 2.3 Turbo Mustang unless we were talking about an SVO.
This I would love. Also because I have always thought that it would be cool one day to do an AWD mustang and since the Eco 6 is in the SHO maybe one day that would be possible. Also you are right, once again I am arguing for the sake of argument, though I would find a tracked 2.3 a cool idea. The 6 would be more practical for making power to because you wouldn't be asking as much of the engine. Somewhat like how all drifters now use V8's because they can actually withstand the abuse that the 4 cylinders were exploding from.
Well, you might be the exception but I find it hard to believe others wouldn't consider an Ecoboost V6. With aftermarket support, it would be capable of more torque and similar HP as a full bolt on naturally aspirated v8.

I would not be a good person to go for a ride with, too boring unless it's on a track.
I was gonna say, the quote feature is your friend.
I heard rumors that the flat crank motor wasn't producing the expected power Ford was hoping for...wouldn't it be interesting if FoMoCo opted instead for a beastly Ecoboost v6 for the GT350. Especially if it weighed a couple hundred pounds less than the standard GT...
How stout are the Ecoboost motors? I mean looking at them to look ridiculous, plus the price apparently of a V6 Ecoboost is 17 grand, that must be some wonder motor to be more then the most expensive of Ford's crate V8's.
Dunno...wish it was a straight 6 more so than V...but oh well.
Mmm Ford's version of a 2JZGTE
