"Boss" is a registered trademark of Ford (corporate not dealers) and "Super Snake" is a registered trademark of Shelby America used under license by Ford (again, corporate not dealers). Trademark holders won't usually go after individuals who misuse their trademarks for personal use but they get really aggressive protecting trademarks from commercial misuse. That dealer would be liable for treble damages under trademark law.

Realistically, most people won't know the difference between a Boss, Shelby, GT, Super Snake, GT350, Boss LT, Colt 305, Le Car, etc. If I had time, woulda bought a GT instead and made it a sleeper. That being said, I'm not a big fan of the labels, but like I said, no one will know the better ... except maybe here ...

Do you by any chance live in San Antonio? Did you happen to see the red v6 in the showroom with the boss stripes on it?

Badass looking car, badges are the only negative.

Id love the stripe without the lettering...track pack badge is too show-offy and ricey, IMO. The wheels already indicate that its a track pack car.

To each his own. theyre definitely not terrible looking, imo. :dunno:

fo·rum/ˈfôrəm/
Noun:
1.A meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
2.An Internet message board.



if he didnt want people to say something he would post on a public forum over and over again. If he didnt want people to look at his car he wouldnt post pics. If he didnt want people to see his car stand out he would stop sticking things to his car. I still do not thinnk anyone has been tasteless with comments and most of this has been very light hearted. Go to a STI, evo bmw, vett or honda forum or even a svt and or a shelby forum and you will see truly mean evil comments and attacks. Whats wrong with this world today when you are in the wrong for simply not liking what someone else has done.

who would of thought a place filled with mustang enthusiasts that worry about proper bolts and grease marks would have an opinion on something car related.

:shame::shame::shame::shame: To where this thread has gone. Until you guys who do not like what others have done to their cars pay the monthly.. I think you should keep the negative comments to yourself.. Not saying I am a fan of misbadging but at least be tactful and respectful in your remarks.

Actually, many of the Shelby owners say they don't mind misbadged cars as long as it's executed well, and the owner doesn't claim it's a real Shelby when asked. Shelby's (and BOSSes) have been copied since they were originally introduced, so i think there's a certain amount of numbness over it, with the possible exception of the newer (younger) late-model owners.

I'm not an ex-Shelby owner, and I've been to the factory in Vegas as well (1997). People are generally pretty polite to me when I remind them that Texas is a concealed-carry state. I'm not sure how "telling me off" in a parking lot - or anywhere else for that matter - would be beneficial to the person being an asshat.

Just sayin...

technically not correct since you could get the Brembo brake package and not the track Pack and have the same wheels....
