New to Mustang Source (future Boss 302 Owner)

Greetings,I'm new the site and look forward to chatting about these great cars. I'm USAF and stationed in Italy. I just got selected to buy one of two Boss 302's that Exchange New Cars have been touring at different bases in Europe. The price is reasonable for the car but I don't know comfortable I am driving such a beast on these Italian streets. Although, the autostrada is going to be a blast.

Yes... buy first then worry about the Italian streets later.

Why wouldn't you do it? Ferrari and Lamborghini come from Italy, surely a Boss would fit nicely among those? Anyway, welcome from the Netherlands

Getting more excited by the day, this will be my first Mustang but not the first I looked at buying. Been buying a family car since I was 18 after 16 years I said what the hell.

Btw, how does it handle in the rain with stock tires? It tends to rain a lot here.

Just put down the down payment and started the shipment process from Germany. My 2013 Boss RR should be here in 30-45 days.

The Pirellis are decent in the rain, but you will likely keep the traction control and stability management on if the conditions merit.

Keep in mind that this beast whipped up on a M3 at Laguna Seca, it will do just fine in Italy!!!! Just remember if you go to Germany to scream on the Autobahn, drive the speed limit in Switzerland -- they have absolutely no tolerance there!

Now don't forget to post pictures of you terrorizing Lancias, Alfa Romeos, etc. on the Autostrada!!
