Well, going to plan B now. I found a 2013 Mustang GT with 5K miles, 6 speed stick, with that sweet royal blue/purple paint with the dark stainless 19" wheels for $27,500 at CarMax. It isn't a Boss but it doesn't cost like a Boss either, but I can mod it to my liking. First mod will be Eibach Sport spring/shock/sway bars/metal end link kit, then a K&N filter. Front plate is coming off as soon as it gets home.

Really the GT is not to much different, 420 horses compared to 444. You can get all the same suspension as the Boss. Hell you could buy all the parts from American Muscle to turn it into a HI-PO 302 if you really wanted.
I was in your same boat I really wanted the Boss 302 because of well it's name its a Boss 302. But the difference in payments is stupid for a little more horses that I could just bolt on and get it there. Still if I could of afforded it I would of...

The Mustang GT is at the Irvine CA CarMax store and is being sent up to the Henderson, NV, on one of their delivery trucks. Should be test driving it next Thursday. 
The color is called Deep Impact Blue Metallic.

other than the internal block parts (rods/pistons) my engine is basically the BOSS 302 now. Like I said for all intents and purposes. I have the Boss heads and cams on my 5.0 along with intake. even have the new pulsering to rev up to 7800. All this was to confirm a question earlier that the Boss setup loves high revs and boost.
