What I find interesting after watching the Speed Channel special and reading Donald Farr's book on the Boss, was the 'total commitment' to an all racing parts bin. Paraphrasing Dave Pericak '..if it doesn't help the car go faster, we aren't including it'. So true to his word the 2012 is just that.
However I am totally psyched that since I have to wait for a 2013 anyway, that I will get Sync & HIDs, and God willing, and oil pressure gauge. This makes me wonder if the Base Mustang (V6 & GT) will also get these upgrades or as options? So the die hard track guys can have the 2012 model, and the 2013 for the street driven 99.999% of the time guys (body color and stripes as desired).
Put me down for a 2013 Race Red w/Recaros & Torsen.

The two things I would have wanted on a Boss were HIDs and Sync. I'm glad to see them incorporated in the lineup.
My philosophy with the Mustang is simple; this should be the car where Ford showcases some of their tech, more than any other. Basically Ford's equivalent of the Mercedes S-Class or Corvette.

What I like about 2012s is the stripe, I've always been a fan of the reverse C Stripe..
I woulndt mind sync and new gauges,
I might even look into upgrading mine to sync,
I wonder if they will keep roof tops white or black?

Too late now, I can't really afford to trade in again. Maybe it will be possible to retro-fit, but it's not likely.

This is always the frustrating part of buying cars. They always improve future models and a little buyers regret creeps in.

Worry not Dean. I'm looking down the barrel of a 2013. Think how I will feal when Ford unveils the all new 2014 and announces they are continuing the Boss marquee onto that platform...

It's not remorse, so much, as I love the car. I would like to have SYNC feature without installing an aftermarket radio. That's my only gripe with this absolutely amazing car.

Dean, I suppose Ford knew that the '69 stripes would look so much better than the '70 stripes they had to add a few bonus items in order to sell the 2013's.
