If the schedule follows this year, it would seem you might be able to order around the Nov-Dec 2011 timeframe, with the first production units being sometime in Jan-Feb 2012, delivered by March 2012.

I could wait for Dec if in fact they will make a Grabber Orange, Green or blue.

Tony, check this link for pics. I do love the look of the PJ...decisions decisions!

Yes, there's been quite a bit of talk about the lack of "luxuries" on the Boss, hasn't there. Whilst I admire Ford for sticking with a track-biased approach with the car and, therefore, excluding the fripperies we've come to expect on $40k+ cars I do wonder if the '13 won't at least have them as options. Ford do listen to their customers, afterall.

Don't forget, too, I'd expect to see the trim/minor bodywork changes coming for the '13 MY cars (see the 2013 GT500 thread in the Rumor Mill section) also applied to the Boss

Well, I must say that all of the Grabber colors are outstanding. Any word on what 2012 colors will be retired for the 2013 model year?

On the Boss Ford took a page from the aftermarket tuners to create a performance model by upgrading the base GT for the primary purpose of track use and exclusively targeted for that particular segment of Mustang enthusiasts. It is that simple and it is not like Ford reps have promoted the Boss as anything other. Had the Boss been intended mainly for daily driving, cruising, or car shows, then there would be creatures comforts. At least we should be thankful Ford was kind enough to include the Shaker and A/C.

While there could be some very minor changes for the 2013 Boss besides the colors and stripes I think the Boss will remain basically unchanged. The GT500 is a "Shelby" car and any changes there will not show up in the Boss. Any changes to the base Mustang will flow through to all Mustangs but beyond that don't expect any changes to the 2013 Boss.

Kona Blue, Competition Orange, Silver, and Blaze Yellow don't look like they will be available in 2013.

There's no shaker. 500 or otherwise.

I definantly would have purchased a Boss in grabber green had they offered it this year. Had to settle for Comp Orange. Hopefully I will see it soon. I would think really hard about trading mine in if they offer it in Grabber Green in 2013.

It's not the Shaker 500.



Here's a pic from a Boss 302 on Ebay:












Here's the Shaker 500:
