That's why it's not called the Boss 302 I bet.Makes sense .. although if Ford did in fact still own the Boss 302 name they could easily license it to Saleen -- I can't imagine that Saleen is doing this without Ford's blessing.
Ever Driven a Boss 302? I have. :) Not to mention it was stuffed with 12.5-1 pistons and a .620 lift 314 duration cam. :D :D

I've driven a couple of Boss 302s (I used to own a '73 Z28, last of the small bumper) and just about every big-block monster you could name -- and more than a few had a tooth-rattling idle like your hi-comp Mustang there.
Those things were brutes -- nothing subtle or refined about them at all. I recently drove a Contour SVT with a done-up 3.0L Escape engine (something like 290hp and 280tq) and it is amazing how nice that car was to drive despite how quick it was.
Cars have come a long way since the days of the original pony cars -- if you want to remind yourself just how sophisticated and refined your Focus is, try to get a ride in something like a Boss 302.
