Thumbs up 2013 Boss LS - Same pricing as 2012

JPC posted this another thread, thought it deserved its own.

Dave Pericak (Chief Mustang engineer) has confimed pricing is the same for the 2013 LS. On would believe the pricing for the regular Boss will carry over as well, but it was not explicitly stated:

This is what I expected given the Camaro ZL1's pricing, not much room to move up for Ford.

Not much room to move up? They could easily bump the price 1k and still not be close to the ZL1 price.

If they bumped it up it would 49k delivered vs the 55k delivered of the base ZL1. That's only 6k difference and the ZL1 comes with a bunch of goodies the 302 does not. Obviously this is a matter of opinion, but seems like its to close to me for the HP and tech the ZL1 will offer.

I read through the thread on Camero5 and saw numerous mention of the "ZL1 tech". Since you mentioned it here, can you or anyone elaborate? Thanks.

Thanks very much for the information AskJeffro!

I hope this is true but Dave Pericak (Chief Mustang engineer) has missed the call before. He prematurely (by about 2 months) announced to a Boss 302 gathering in Dearborn that TK had been approved and soon available leading some to speculate how "plugged-in" he really was/is.

Hopefully when the order bank opens in early December, pricing will also be reliably released.

Yeah, I actually thought of that missed call on TK. When you watch the video he responds so quickly, I have to believe he knows.

Bluesun, the "tech" I'm referring to is the supercharger, dual mode exhaust and magnetic dampeners. Check out the info here: http://www.chevrolet.com/camaro-zl1-sports-car/ Have to see how it comes together in real life however...

So, given Ford still has not released pricing, I'm backing away from my statement that Dave knew the pricing. Its been far to long and even if it were decided at that point, may have changed by now.

*I came to this thread to edit the title to be more accurate, but apparently we can not do that on this forum.

Things can change over time, and the marketing and finance folks like have the final say...the engineers have to follow the budget :-)
