Just like all new cars the hype will drive up the price and then if (big if on this one) there are some left over the price will come down. I seen the Bullitt go for way more than sticker and then sell for a large discount and the GT500 is the same way. I sure some on here paid a big premium to get their 2011 GT early in the model run.
The best way to buy a Boss is to buy it use a few years down the road; but it is very hard to wait.

+1. New GT500's are below MSRP everywhere around here. For example, we have a new '11 GT500 SVTPP Coupe - fully loaded with an MSRP of $57,700 - on sale for $54,950 where I work.

Any indication of a HomeLink or similar garage door opener being available in 2012? I'm hoping that they'll finally live up to the owner's manual and that the parts can be retrofitted to a 2011.

Maybe, maybe not, it is a gamble. In 1970 I hear that you could pick up a Hemi or 440 Superbird or Daytona for way less than the sticker price; nobody wanted them for street use. I'm sure there are other example of factory specialized cars that did not sell. I remember seeing the 80's Olds 442 or GNX selling for big discounts. I really wanted the 1987 Olds 442 I saw brand new for for thousands off the sticker price but I could not afford it.
It will be interesting to see how the Seca sells.

I just now noticed that the BOSS has cloth seats in the PDF. I know I miss stuff, but I just always assumed that since the GT had leather, the Boss would, too.
<rant> I like the strengthened engine parts, but there are so many aftermarket pistons, rods, and other engine parts already available that it is really only that red race key feature that supposedly gives this a "Jeckyl/Hyde" personality that I find truly unique and worth something. I like the leather, headlights and colors from the GT. I see no point to pay so much more for a car that comes with cloth seats and deleted lights.
I know that I did not really want the car, but I would at least consider it. Sorry, but the cloth seats are a deal breaker for me. Leather wears far better over time, and just plain looks better. You can keep your Boss!! I will change my own pistons if I ever want to bad enough.
</rant>
Sorry about the rant, I just had to vent. Earlier on this thread, someone had mentioned that the Lava Red might be available with a different color leather seat in the GT Premium. The PDF floating around skips the GT premium and some other models. Does anyone know if the GT premium is available with Lava Red, and some other seat color than what we have seen in 2011?

The premium interior with Lava Red has plum coloured inserts.

This car has cloth because leather surfaces are too slippery under high performance cornering conditions. This is in keeping with the intent of the car's usage.
