2027 Boss 429?

[Wiley Marmot]

Video just posted 3 hrs ago. Is this a hoax/AI generated BS? First I've heard/seen anything about it.

YouTube themselves marked the video as AI-Generated, and the Gemini summary notes this is just a re-imagination.

If a Boss 429 were on the way, we'd be seeing mules already. And with the next generation seemingly imminent, a 429 ci engine would need to already be undergoing testing.

This is fake.

Yea. I just finished watching it. didn't notice the tiny AI disclaimer at first. Has a few errors between the visuals, and voice over too.

MEH!

The wheels....

 

[erocker]

AI makes everything hideous.

S550... huge oversize wheels with painted on tires... it's AI Virginia... at this point, I can no longer count how many boss 429 fakes I have seen!

There is no way FORD would ever release a Boss 429 (Or any Mustang for that matter) with a hideous wheel and tire setup like that. The wheel/tire setup as shown is good for........... for.......... thinking.......... nothing. In all fairness, it would be perfect for a Hot Wheels car.

Beyond a Hot Wheels car where would a "like" wheel/tire combo be appropriate and more importantly functional. See below -

1. Street X
2. Strip X
3. HPDE Event X
4. Mustang Unleashed X
5. Spirited drive/cruise on twisty scenic road X
6. Remote section of highway where you'd never be seen X
7. Static Display in a Ripley's Believe or Not Museum - ✓

Edit Add - S-650 rear, S-550 front. My opinion of the stripes...... "Yenko" Nova vibe.

Throttle body connected to the radiator, nice.

So ridiculously fake.

Someone educate me.....why would anyone want a 429 - IMO a big pig of an engine with crap HP - when you have a lightweight 5.0 making 500HP? Giant step waaay backward IMO.

So we get this a lot in the auto industry.

Often one of the best ways to know if something is fake is if it's something you can't find from anyone else, isn't confirmed by the brand, or by a legit insider.

Like we know stuff that comes from Ford is obviously legit. We know some of the stuff Ford is working on in secret because it can be confirmed by multiple sources. Think the mustang sedan or off-roader mustang. Multiple people can confirm seeing these models that things like dealer product previews.

But in cases where it's someone's uncles co-workers son who works at a supplier for Ford says X product is happening, that's almost always BS. Same goes for dealer employees.

A very small portion of dealer employees actually see and know about future product. But most don't, and have the same level of insight into future product as the rest of us. Yet we always see someone who says "My Chevy dealer told me a new such and such was coming out soon" usually some revival of a classic model that has no evidence of actually returning.

People look at the past with rose tinted glasses. A lot of people who grew up with those sorts of engines are nostalgic about them. But often don't realize a modern 5.0 is better in literally every way. Power, efficiency, tunability, reliability, etc.

One of the dumbest rumors we ever had in the mustang community was the possibility of getting a 6.8 or even 7.3 super duty motor in the mustang. It was fun in an overkill kinda way, but it was so dumb.

Throwing a heavier, less powerful motor into this awesome sports car that would have required millions of dollars of engineering work just to get close to the 5.0. It made no sense.

Or you could just look at the picture for 2 seconds and see thats its AI slop. Lol
