What would yall choose? A new shelby gt350 or a new BOSS? Both havw the new 5.0 but each with their own twist.

 

Boss, hands down. The GT350 is a fat pig, and it's the opposite of what the original GT350 was. IMHO, Shelby ruined that car, and IIRC, it's significantly more expensive than even the GT500.

The only problem with the Boss 302 is the wacky colors they chose to offer it in. Why it isn't offered in all colors is beyond me. Why they require you to get the black roof is also beyond me, and the fact that you have to get ridiculous painted wheels on the Laguna Seca edition makes NO sense.

Just give me a Grabber Blue Boss 302, with satin aluminum rims, no black roof, that looks exact like this, and I'm in.

Boss 302 hands down. ill take the tail lights off the GT350 though. compared to the original GT350 i dont dig how the new one looks. if the GT350 was originally a track ready Mustang then whats up with the body kits and such?

 

you could buy two boss's for the same price


no brainer... two boss mustangs

As for the OP, it really just depends on what you want as far as looks, performance, exclusivity, and how much you want to spend. Either one would be a great car, it just comes down to what your style of car is.

 

I'm in the minority of those that dig the new GT350.

But, being an NA guy that's not into whine, Boss would get my vote on this one. A gnarly, lopin', raw machine!

(But it would be a '13 where more normal color options are available.)

 

Being a Ford Guy, you could not go wrong with either one. However, since I own a 1970 BOSS 302, a 2012 BOSS 302 would look very very nice in the drive way as well!

 

Yea ill have to agree with you on that one. They shouldve just offered original paint schemes instead of the different colored roofs and rims. Although the black rims do look sick on the colors its available with. As for the Laguna Seca models i think they were goun for the the porsche gt3 style but it just didnt quite work out. Both very solid cars but id like to see the road test results of the boss and compare those numbers with the gt350.

 

WOW! I knew about the weight, but had no idea it was that fast! I'm still not sold on the looks, but consider me changed on my opinion on it's speed!

Dammnn. U got a sweet car

 

Boss

 

Another vote for da Boss.

 

If the deciding intangible is being over the top the GT350 wins hands down.

 

Intangible?

 

Boss hands down, that shelby is hideous

 

It occurs to me that the Boss with a blower and wider tires would go just as fast or faster and handle as well or better.
It would also cost you less and be a Boss 302.

 

I am SO with you on this one. I do not get why Shelby is so famous for these bulbous, overweight beasts that have his name on them. The GT 500 is a joke. The Boss comes with too many strings attached. My solution is to buy--really, and soon--a new GT and customize it, including most likely a Ford Performance supercharger (either 525 hp or 624 hp, I'm not sure yet). That way, I have a truly unique Mustang (and a "sleeper" to boot). Won't the Z06s be surprised?!

 

Boss

 

shelby hands down. The boss is goofy with its color schemes and slower to boot. Red GT350 convertible for me.
