Looks sweet. Downloading the app now!
I'm curious on the Boss 302. How comfortable are the Recaro seats and the overall ride? I'd be getting a base instead of the LS if I got one at all but it's probably comparable enough. More importantly, does the Boss at least come with Bluetooth and either USB or auxiliary output? Bluetooth audio? I have to say I'm very tempted by the car and using my phone to replace as much lost functionality as possible. Bluetooth calls are a must though.

I wasn't originally going to, but I'm very tempted by it - especially if the MPG is honestly the same. However, I'm curious just how stripped down it actually is on the interior. I read that it doesn't have sync, heated seats aren't an option, but how much is lacking? Like I said - there are a few absolute requirements and I don't want to aftermarket everything. For only a few thousand more the performance difference is impressive - but not worth the cost of being a terrible daily driver or inconvenient or anything.

Ah that's a bummer. I don't understand why. Bluetooth is practically in every car now. I'm not a fan of the parrot systems and one more extra thing in the car would be getting ridiculous (for me). I might have been able to talk myself into the Boss otherwise.

Not enough to get into serious trouble (i.e. not going 120 mph) but no I don't always abide by artificially slow speed limits. After all, it's speed variance and not speeding causes accidents. So while I take advantage of going higher speeds, I'm not the type to weave in and out of traffic.

Oh I am loving this discussion. Notice how the BMW is not even mentioned anymore? Ha! I would definitely get the Mustang over the Bimmer. A lady in our office has a Z4 coupe...it suits her, being that she is a female girl woman and all. It's a cute car. The Mustang is a Man's car. Sounds like a man's car and scares many woman away from driving it. Manly <Tim Allen grunting sounds here>.
Plus, there are tons of cool people and clubs to hang out with your Mustang. And only one or two people there will be wearing extra tight shirts and designer sunglasses at night. I believe that is dress code for a BMW get together.

The nav and a backup camera are something I consider mandatory. I could see out the back window, but I had no idea where the back end of the car was in relation to objects behind me. I ordered both, plus the backup sensors.
I'll tell you all about it in 3 weeks when the car arrives.

Got a chance to drive the Mustang around for a bit and it really is fun to drive. The issue I'm having is the front head restraints are simply awful. They push your head really far forward. Driving around for 30 minutes got to be really uncomfortable to the point where my neck was stiff 30 minutes later.
I see some aftermarket head rests that look better, but I think if someone runs into me I'd be concerned about safety and insurance problems. Honestly that might be what holds me back...and that's pretty lame...
