I bet that was still a nice peppy quick ride!
I also previously owned a Diamond Star coupe... bought new in 1995 a '95 Eclipse GSX (AWD Turbo; 210hp/214lbs-ft). Fun little car and drove it year round even thru the winters in Philly burbs. Kept it all stock and only mod I ever did was a new set...
E36. Both the bimmer and benz were a decade apart in its technology & life cycle and both had its share of problems/bugs but the quality of the AMG is topnotch however the biggest issues I had was a failed A/C compressor in 2011 (replaced for $600) and a weeping rear main seal in 2012 (traded...
Anytime! Prior I had an '01 E55 and a '98 M3... fun cars but were aging. I traded in the AMG as d/p for the Boss... best decision I made.
Looks like alot of other nice rides in this thread. Let's see more pics!
^^^ Definitely agree how fun to drive the Mustangs are... what lured me to purchasing a '12 model was a long business trip in Seattle back in the summer of '11. My 8-weeks rental car was a 2011 V6 Mustang (auto) and I liked it! Needless to say that's what all it took for me to finally consider...
We all know comparing a SS to a Boss isn't apples to apples per se... if anything it should be a SS to a 5.0 GT but FWIW here's my $0.50 worth of owner experience for my two models.
- Power goes to my Boss vs. my SS since my Camaro has the L99 engine (automatic)... 444hp 380lb-ft vs. 400hp...
PC term for replica... or fake?! :D ;)
Retired by Ford for now...but who knows. Bossmustangsonline has lots of details to many questions including a registry. I think all '12s were sold and there are still '13s out there.
News of this has been press released all over; here's Jalopnik's...
Thanks! My coworker owns an '07 GT as well... here's my a phone pic I took early last year after closing the deal & driving back from the dealership to meet up with him and a solo pic of his GT w/ Boss tribute stripes.. :cool:
Let's hope Ford keeps special (powerful) editions alive...
:frusty:
Hehehe actually the opposite... I'm not overly tied down to a specific brand and I'm a fan of many types of high-perfomance cars. Used to own an AMG and an M3 at the same time too, the best of both worlds so to speak so this is nothing new for me. ;)
Ideally, I'd love to own a ZL1...
Thanks! And yes, it's a '12 45th SS... a L99 auto since it's the DD. Owned both for about a year now... my original plan was to get a '13 5.0 as a DD but I couldn't refuse the '12 Boss 302 when the dealer offered nearly 4K off msrp last Memorial Day since the '13s were on the rails... I also...
