I would suggest that you contact your dealer to let them know that pricing is out now. Yeah, I know, you'd think dealers would be on top of things, but not all dealers know that pricing is out yet. Heck, some dealers don't even know that the Boss 302 is returning to the lineup!

2012 Mustang Job 1 starts in mid January - not September. Job 2 starts whenever Ford makes enough running changes to the 2012 to make a clean start with a "newly improved" model mid year, so that could be well into next summer or fall, if ever. There isn't always a Job 2 for each model, each year.

Actually, you're thinking of the Retail Order Verification Form which us dealers fill out with the customer (and get a copy of their driver's license) to send to Ford to prove that we have a realy customer for the car. Ford does not, however, require that we collect any kind of deposit. Deposits (and the amount in question) are at the dealers' discretion.

**** good question. I'd like to think that I'm on top of our ordering and allocation issues for our dealership, but I haven't heard anything yet from Ford about our total allocation of Boss 302's and LS's.

Hello,
New to this forum, but not new to performance cars. I have not owned a Ford since mid to late 80's (4-speed 351C 73' Torino, 79' and 80' Mustang Turbo). Just ordered a 2012 CO (CY) Boss with Recaro/Torsen option, and Accessory package (1Q build). Bought to race!

He ain't the only one Brian. I'm selling a fully track prepped (and raced) 95 Cobra R, so that I can do exactly that with the Boss.
It will be interesting to see the change in lap times between the two cars. If the lap times drop the first time or two out with the Boss, we'll know we have a winner on our hands.

When are the approxamate delievery dates, is there a guesstimate on that from order times?
#151
Assuming I can get one ordered, my BOSS will be seeing the track action on a regular basis.
Probably gut it and convert it for wheel-to-wheel competition in a few years.

I just placed my order for a 2013 Boss in Grabber Green. I went into the dealer and told the general manager I want a 2013 Boss. He said i was a little early, but I am officially first on the list. lol
So I think I can safely say I'm first for this one. It will be the longest 18-24 months of my life. I just hope I live that long.![Stick Out Tongue](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Seriously though, I'm not kidding.

I've been driving a 4th Gen Camaro for the past 3 years and an Evo before that. The Mustang is going to be a new and fun experience for sure.
I have a couple Mustang pals in Detroit, one in particular, that will help me get the Boss's suspension up to par in no time.

I understand the need to mod it, however, how much would you consider the Boss' suspension to already be above that of it's base GT brethren? How much more modifying does it need to be great? Is it good now? You mentioned a lot of parts. That's a lot of replacement of already purchased parts that don't come on the Base GT. Why would you replace all that makes the Boss' suspension so much "better" than it's siblings?

Thanks Brian. I've got a lot of preparation to do before Spring. Penskes, Motons, or JRZ struts/shocks, Springs, Watts Link, Sway bars, PU bushings, Custom Headers/Exhaust, Tune (100 oct), 18x11 Forgelines, etc. Then it's test, test, test.

I'm not hacking one bit of the Boss. No cage, flaring, weight reduction, etc. Maybe this is too much for this forum.
