Our 1st BOSS

[briansc88]

sexy car but i cant get behind all the plastic on the body

 

[AutoEuphoria]

I'm sure it's a blast to drive, but I hate the way it looks. I'd much prefer a regular GT (or a GT500, obviously)

 

[GTPprix]

Am I reading that right $43K?

 

[orangejuiced86]

How fast is this vs the 5.0?

This is a 5.0.

 

[soap]

This is a 5.0.

True, but it is a higher output 5.0 versus that offered in a standard GT, which is what Payso is getting at.

5.0 - 412hp / 390tq
5.0 hi-po - 444hp - 380tq

[Fryguy302]

Love these cars. I still prefer the looks of the 05-09, but I'm sure this body style will grow on me like they always do.

 

[DBK]

This is why it's $43k.

The target M3 that it crushes starts at $59k.

We expected the Boss 302 to be little more than a marketing exercise in nostalgia, a somewhat more brutal, slightly faster GT, with alluring graphics but primitive predilections. It isn’t. Nose to tail, this feels like a whole new equine—thoroughly sorted, conscientiously massaged, the object of considerable forethought and ambition. As automotive resurrections go, this is a knockout that venerates the original Boss while embarrassing it objectively and subjectively in every meaningful measure. What this is, is the best Mustang ever.

Highs: One of the most endearing V-8s on the planet, steering that BMW would admire, suspension that sticks like Krazy Glue.

Still don't like the wheels or assorted paint jobs.

 

[Baldie]

I guess I would rather buy a 11 with a 5.0 stripped a bit, and put a whipple on it with some suspension components and my own wheels for 40k and still have my warrenty and still beat a M3..

43K just seems very steep!

 

[98yellowcobra]

Proof that the GT500 needs to go on a Diet!!

 

[Golden]

i think they're bad-ass!!!.....particularly when compared to a fucking butt-ugly camaro!!.........:thumbsdow

The Boss is a bad ass performer, but it's fucking butt ugly. The Camaro on the other hand, looks sweet.

 

[SSpdDmon]

Do you have a red key to go with it or just the black one?

I agree, but it's also a limited production vehicle too. You have to figure that in the price.

FO SHO

Track key hasn't gotten final CARB and EPA approval.

 

[00GT&03L]

I think it looks sweet but would rather spend the extra and get the laguna seca if I was going to write the check.

 

[91trunk]

We added the LS wheels to it for the customer. I'm not a fan, but the customer is always right

 

[Overboost]

I like those wheels, just not on the base Boss. I like the stock wheels without the polished lip better.

They all come with the red key, the tune has to be unlocked/added later on. Right now that ETA is summer I believe.

 

[DeFormula]

Coolness. I just love the fact that cars like this are being built.

 

[$uperstang]

Awesome car!

 

[Rickety]

I dig this car...I dig the fact that Ford is actually making it....The best part about it is, I'm glad its $43K.....Better parts, more work into it(Engineering/Testing/Manufacturing) and cheaper than a Base Model??? Logic??

 

[dline]

Too much money

 

[PaysoProductions]

True, but it is a higher output 5.0 versus that offered in a standard GT, which is what Payso is getting at.

5.0 - 412hp / 390tq

Ahh thanks! Yeah I am with most of you guys on just buying a 5.0 and adding some bolt on's
