So I test drove the new Mustang GT and I must say it was quite a lively drive. It definitely has some get up and go and that independent rear end suspension is a dream. 2013 Boss 302 Mustang Freak-photo673.jpg2013 Boss 302 Mustang Freak-photo383.jpg2013 Boss 302 Mustang Freak-photo39.jpg2013 Boss 302 Mustang Freak-photo713.jpg2013 Boss 302 Mustang Freak-photo727.jpg

I had just got rid of my 2020 GT with PP!, shortly before getting the Boss. I will say that I definitely like the tighter gearing in the Boss. Like the rawness and feel of the Boss. But your right the independant rear suspension, is nice, Also on the PPI cars the 6 Caliber disc brake is nice.

That said I still like the simpleness and rawness that the Boss has. It just has that feeling.

Absolutely agree and won't part with Miss Scarlett. She's mine as long as I can afford her.

I agree.
That is what I miss about my '13 Roush Stage 3. Those S197 cars felt so raw and unrefined. That and the 6 speed. I kinda miss the 6 speed at times.

Finally got the paint touch ups done today, so now we have to wait until the New Year to give it a two stage polish, to freshen her up a bit

Was hoping you would say that, Gary! Needless to say, excellent decision to stick with Ms. Scarlett.

Have to agree, I was a little hesitant about going from my 2020 GT Premium with PP1, Magneride and Active Exhaust. Really enjoyed that car.
But I find the Boss just puts way more of a smile on my face, it is just more fun to drive. Really like the tighter gearing of the MT82 in the Boss. The only thing I miss from the 2020, is that it definitely had better brakes.

Looks like she's ready to have a good rest. She should be right perky come spring.

Got that right, Gary! Ms. Scarlett is looking really good and ready to go for car cruise season.

It still looks like new Gary, just as good as the first pics you posted when you got it. How many miles now?
