Fuuuuuuudge!!! Why didn't I wait???!!!
 
Ladies and gentlemen,

The 2012 BOSS 302 Mustang. Why oh why didn't I wait just a tad longer instead of buying this GT500??

If you watch the video of the red one, you'll notice they're slightly different from each other. Different wheels, different paint scheme, different spoilers. Those are what immediately stood out to me.

And if you watch the video about the history of the BOSS 302, you'll see there are tons of different configurations! Dang it! Dang it!! Dang it!!!

Jeeeeeeesus, that accent color !!!!
How utterly horrific is it?
No disrespect to anyone suffering from this, but are the design guys color blind???

So what GT500 did you buy? the 2011 one? ... If so I would say you aren't missing anything from not buying the Boss :/

yeah the boss isnt supercharged so the gt500 is wayyyyy betterrrrrr

a s/c on a car doesnt make it way better at all. you reasoning fails. I will take a better looking car over a car that has a s/c and is ugly any day. The GT500 isnt ugly but the Boss looks good with the write color scheme

Wow, that is a horrendous color scheme. The red grill and wheels ruin that car. I love the 10-11 body style and the heritage of that car, but the car in that video is horrible IMHO. That said i have seen a few other version of this car that I did like. OMG and that front splitter, it looks like one of those caricatures where everything is just a bit larger than it should be, the design of this version = epic fail. Perhaps they were trying to woo the rice crowd, through on a 27" muffler tip and a bigger wing you might get some of the Honda folks to buy American.


This one i really like though the fake fogs on the grill aren't my fav:

Am i the only one a bit bummed that there is nothing really special on these cars appearance wise considering what an iconic model the original was? I mean they look good (mostly) but I don't really see any parts that aren't right out of the ford bin. I sort of expected something special just for this car.

It's in my sig. I have the 2011 GT500. S/C be damned. I'd give up my GT500 without hesitation for this 302. HP isn't everything, and I'm sure this 302 would smoke a GT500 all day on a twisty track. Through some long enough straights in there, though, and it'd be a different story. Maybe.

Also, did you guys not notice that interior? FULL Alcantara steering wheel. What looks to be Recaro suede seats, etc.

Well, I still have my 550i to get rid of. Looks like I'm gonna have a two-Mustang garage in a few months! :P

@ShaneM;

There are a ton of different color schemes. I happen to like the black and red one. And NO, I don't like rice-mobiles. IMO, it looks great.

Yeah well the bottom end is to be reinforced making future supercharging easier, it is lighter, it pulls 1g on the skidpad, and it spanks the 2011 by 2 seconds around Laguna Seca. Also in white it should look killer, too bad dealers are probably going to kill with markup.

Perhaps you will need to cut your losses while you can.......aka, sell current car cheap to me. Lol.
