If I see one local at msrp, I am going to grap it. After some time if I am not in love I will flip it for cost..

I'm sure they'll exceed their "limit" as they've done so in the past if there is demand.

They will make many more than they are saying if demand is high. |

I'm sure around this time next year you'll be able to get one for MSRP no problem. I've read that this will be in production for at least 2 years and that Ford will adjust production based on sales. It's always the people that have to have it first that get hosed. That pretty much goes for any hot new product.

This makes more sense to me than the GT500. Still would have a hard time buying one over a 32k GT, unless I lived next to a track.

I beg to differ. #1. Have fun trying to find one to buy, period. #2. If you can even find one, enjoy the $5k-$10k markup. #3. Most if not all of the Boss bits will be available direct from FRPP on the aftermarket. I'd save money by purchasing the Boss parts that I wanted and not buying the ones I didn't want versus buying the actual Boss. Sure, it's hard to buy the obnoxious paint job or the gimmicky track key, but I'm not going to miss them either. |

Yes, I agree. But it's rather ignorant to think that all GT owners are sitting here pining away for a Boss. Do all WRX owners wish they had an STi rather than their WRX? Nope.

I'm really liking this car! I would love to experience it on a track. In fact it'd be a fun track car to run bone stock, but it wouldn't be my first choice for dedicated track car. It'd be in the top of cars I can realistically have one day, but wouldn't crack the top 10 of any-car-in-the-world for the track list (GT3 RS tops that list!)

I think inside line is smoking too much of the Ford Boss crack pipe. First let me say I LOVE this car, and I think the Boss is a great deal. BUT, and with SCRAPPYDO there is always a but. The HP difference is negligible. Once you get to 400+ HP, an additional 23 hp is barely distinguishable. I would wager an intake and a nice exhaust on the stock GT would more than make up for the HP deficit. THe 7700 rpm redline is something special though! I have to give props to that. I think bang for your buck, you could take a stock GT and build your own boss for less money. At the end of the day all you have is a modded GT though. But for me it would be enough. I think the boss is one hell of a factory hot rod though.

Ya, if at all possible, I would love to get one, and if I move to a new job soon and all the stars allign properly for me, I may just do so. Have continued to be impressed with this car since I read about it last year.
Here's the latest article, very impressive: http://http://www.motortrend.com/roa...est/index.html |

The thing that draws me to it is the aftermarket capability of this car. It has a suspension setup that's unreal in stock form and the engine isn't just a 5.0 with a few bolt ons. The 5.0 in the Boss 302 has a fully forged reciprocating assembly, CNC machined heads, a lighter valvetrain and boss-specific cams. . . They're already performing very well stock, but you're going to see these things with 5-6k in them eating up exotics in club racing and whatnot. The red key isn't even available yet and this is what they do in a straight line.
Wait until you see them with a pair of twins or a blower under the hood making 650rwhp on the stock block and ripping 1.0g on the skidpad on street tires. I just bought my sti 4 months ago and I might end up selling for one of these. They tailored perfectly to every racer. |
