I have a 12 GT and was never too impressed with the Boss. The more I educate myself on it, the more I realize what it's about and it's worthiness. At first, I just thought it was an overpriced GT with stickers on it. The new Boss is much more than that and deserves respect in the historical line up of Mustangs.

 

Just use your ignore list, that's what it's there for. Typical troll that adds absolutely nothing of value what so ever. When enough people stop quoting these posts, the rest of us can enjoy this forum for what it's supposed to be. The 'comic relief' wears off after the first few hundred posts.

As you can see, you are completely wasting your time with any kind of cogent response. I have no idea what kind of insecurity, obsession or deviance motivates someone that doesn't even own this model to constantly ridicule, deride, and insult the Boss enthusiast at every single opportunity. I don't know why the mods tolerate this? Sure it's a 'free country' with free speech. But anyone with half a brain can call a spade a spade.

Dozens of the 2012 Boss owners that used to post here simply don't bother any more. When the Boss was first introduced it was fun to be an active member of the forum to share ideas, discuss different mods, and how to improve it in every way. Most of the original group of '12 owners have just disappeared or post just once in a blue moon. Gee, I wonder why...? Who knows.

So cry me a river, someone made fun of my beloved Boss on the internet. Boo hoo. Not the first time and won't be the last. But as someone recently pointed out over 7000 posts? It really is pathetic, but what can you do? Answer, ignore list. Oh and join other forums that don't tolerate this crap. It's a big internet, plenty of options available if you look around.

 

I just thought all the boss owners sold them already.

 

Oh... so that's why Iacocca & Ford locked up Shelby to step up Mustang's 'common man' game to compete in the professional race world... so that's why Ford designed the 427 Cammer to win Nascar (till Dodge boys cried)... so that's why Tasca drag raced the Cobra Jet... so that's why Ford built the Boss that Parnelli Jones raced and won...

Mustang is whatever you want it to be from secretary's car to hot rod to sport car to Lt Bullitt/Steve Mc to CHP cop car to track ready race car to 200mph monster to...

The only limits are in your mind.

 

This is the type of post by you that I appreciate and agree with!
Keep it like this and I might still like you. LoL.

 

lol

 

Name one year that didn't have an affordable model coming off the ford production line since production started in 1964?

 

I don't deny that. That doesn't change the fact that they also made medium and higher price range & race models for various customer's desire. And some of the models were "top shelf" and were often recognized by media for it.

 

The mustang doesn't survive on the 50k model. It survives on the 30k model which is pretty evident by the number of buyers seeking below MSRP along with 500.00 and 750.00 dollar Ford coupons. My point is that the mustang doesn't need a high brow magazine list that has finally noticed the mustang, it's buyer isn't the millionaire, it's the middle man who already knows how good it is.

 

 

I think it is even more impressive that a working man's car, the Mustang Boss, IS recognized by a magazine typically more devoted to megabuck rides, that the Mustang, despite its relatively affordable price, nonetheless attains a level of performance, capability and competence on a par with vehicles costing many multiples more.

Does the Mustang or its fans and owners "need" the accolades of the Robb Report to be validated in some way, of course not, but those accolades are impressive nonetheless and indicates that the Mustang's capabilities rise far above its price point and represents a fantastic performance value. The Boss is a hugely impressive and entertaining car, regardless of price, and one that any potential buyer, regardless of economic position, ought to consider seriously to add to ones toy box. Why wouldn't a wealthy Robb Report reader understand or be interested in a Boss Mustang? Sure, a few snobs may consider it below their station, judging cars primarily by their sticker price and hood badge, but that's their misconception and loss.

 

Which makes me wonder why he's badgering everyone for enjoying this moment where the mustang is recognized for its value and performance. The mustang deserves this.

 

It's to **** bad the dealers with their markups on the boss and Shelby rather cater away from the common man.

 

And its got a horse cart rear suspension, what a tasty twist of fate (since this doesn't qualify as irony). That the Boss is such a capable car with such a simple suspension is very pleasing to me.

A symptom of a very bad disease that infects western society but I suppose in the context of this thread that is neither here nor there and much more suited to discussion in the politics/religion forum.

 

X a bunch!

Put that in your pipe and smoke it IRS freaks! lol

 

I agree with this. A mustang buyer is going to buy a mustang. However at the same time, Nothing wrong with a little evolution. Just sucks you cant say the cheapest one "starts under 20k" like you used to...
