You've just been jacked!

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.

 

Now that's not very nice, name calling on 2k7gtcs...

 

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.

 

Same here.

The Boss gets whatever the base Mustang gets so that means all Mustangs will most likely have both.

 

That's what it seems like.

 

My bad for spoiling your thrilling intellectual conversation LB.

Please proceed.

 

Zing!!!

 

I'm happy. Broaden the appeal of next years car, make it a little more mainstream and less unique appeal. Just as I'd rather have a '69 Boss over the better '70 I think I'm going to be quite happy with my '12 over the '13. Still going to try and get both though.

 

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?

 

The 12 does have auto lamps and lighted vanity mirrors which the base does not have.

 

The base GT has auto lamps.

 

Did not know that, I thought we were special

 

Where did this list come from?

 

I really wanted Sync. If I had known this, I'd possibly waited until next year.

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.

Think the center stack w/o Nav and w/Nav will trickle down?
