To the OP,
A Boss is a car that 95% of us will never own and 99.9% of us (even though we may THINK we are able to) will never be able to drive it to it's ability.
If Parnelli Jones says it is the baddest road racing Mustang on the planet, I'd believe him. He knows and he is one of the .1%.
But for someone who will never take advantage of it's ability, it is a moot point.
Yes, the GT may be a better option for the average person. They will never notice the difference.

I don't even know if you are married. So, obviously I was not talking about your wife. I found it funny that you said you could not understand why BOSS Owners objected to your oh so complimentary post. It was every bit as complimentary as the post I made.
I can only assume that you are young and or very naive and or just not much of a car guy. You can’t expect to tell a mother her baby is ugly, without expecting a negative reaction.
You strolled into a car guy’s forum and said you are stupid if you buy this car (my translation) because the GT is cheaper, but it looks really good on you. Then you could not understand why people got upset?
I found that very funny, just like the statement, your wife don’t sweat much for a fat girl.

I withdraw my "WTF?"
I am in the independent consultant business, we regularly have to tell our clients that "their baby is ugly" and then get them to pay us for that information.

I understand now. Respectfully, I don't recall saying any boss owner was stupid for buying a boss. From your perspective you may of taken it that way and certainly in no way shape or form do I think that or implied that any person here is stupid for there purchase.
The post was just a general casual comment, no aggression on which stang gave more value to the dollar based solely on ones desires and driving habit. If any person has the money and wants to buy the Boss then by all means do so. I think the orange and black is sick looking so darn awesome of a car. Hands down Ford produced an amazing pony car, the boss. The boss is a world class automobile that leaves it competitors in the dust.
The thread was to point out to consumers who may be in the market for a stang that depending on there budget and what they plan to do with there stang, the 5.0 is a great vehicle that delivers power, performance and handling for thousands less than the Boss.

I haven't been here long, but I notice he spends WAY more time here than he does with the Cobra people - who are sure to attempt a "deprogram" intervention.

Really??? You made this thread to help educate those looking to possibly purchase a Boss? Thanks for your consumer concern but you really couldn't have expected any other reaction than what you got. Could you? And your statement that I highlighted is inflammatory, which I suspect is your real reason for posting this topic.
There's nothing wrong with buying a GT. I'm sure most people will be thrilled with the car.
I bought a Boss LS because I liked the handling, performance, sound and looks of the car. But mainly I bought it because I WANTED IT.
If I'd wanted a GT I would've bought one, but I didn't want one.

Actually, im still baffled on the reaction I got and how angry people are about this thread. But it has been a learning experience about people who own the Boss stang. You are a bread of a different pony all together and that is putting it mildly in a respectful way. If I didn't know better one might think Boss owners here are a bunch of stuck up jerks who think there king and special because they own a Boss.
You're not bothering me I just find it odd that you could expect anything else?
Why don't you go to the GT500 forum and tell them if you slapped a SC on your GT you'd get the same performance for thousands less and see how they react.
If I went to the GT forum and told everyone why the Boss is a superior preforming car to what they CHOSE to buy I would expect the exact same treatment you feel you've been getting.
Enjoy your car and let others enjoy theirs.

This whole thing is rather humorous but I went back and copied pieces of KB's original post, verbatim, to remind him what he posted.
the Boss is grossly overpriced.
Im sorry but I just can't see where the value in that is.
the 5.0 is a much smarter purchase
I think 10 grand is so not worth paying for the words 302 boss on the side.
Don't really think your words were just comparison to be the Ralph Nader of the Mustang Source. I think you kind pulled off a nice slam. I'm done on this topic. Not mad or angry but I was puzzled from the beginning by the thread.

I never said the 5.0 was superior to the Boss. I never said any car was superior to any car. I said that value on the dollar the 5.0 may be a better choice of stang for them depending on the owners wants, needs and financial situation. Again I never said the Boss was an inferior car. You and others boss owners completely spun it around in a different direction.
Yes I also think bang for buck, one could get a 5.0, with few upgrades slap a super charger on and you got one sick 5.0 to take Cobra on for 10 grand less.
