I retrack that comment, I should of said "I'm gonna replace it with a 2011 dark emblem" or go naked.
I like the Tri-bar but not the way it looks on this car, It just appears as though it's to smallish or lacking boldness????

Look at a 1970 Boss 302. That is where it came from.

I agree with you. While I do like the front end they made for these, I would have been happier if it was a little more faithful to the '69. That being said the standard 05-09 GT front does look a lot like the '69, so I can understand that they wanted to diffentiate it in some way.

7. Unique Advance track TCS tuning
8. Shift **** cordinating color with the side stripes

The Bullitt had a very limited option list. I suspect the Boss will be similar. With the Bullitt, the only real options in 08 were: Nav System, HID Headlights and Sirius. In 09, they made the Sirius standard. I would've liked heated seats and the auto dim mirror for example. I bought my Bullitt for 1% over invoice and actually had a choice of cars.
I'd like to see the white and the Yellow Blaze.
Wife didn't say no yet. In fact she'd consider getting rid of the Charger so I could keep the Bullitt...hmmmm!

I went over to C5 and the car is actually getting respect. The only negatives comments I saw was some of the color schemes are ridiculous. I personally agree with this and this is subjective. Most of the comments focused on an impressive vehicle and GM needs to find an answer quick.
I was going to buy a V6 but if the Boss is close to $38K I'll take it. The V6 I was going to order was $28K and I think the Boss is worth the extra money. I'll take white with black stripes thak you very much!

First off, nice job Ford! Can't wait to see what the Boss does on the track with real drivers piloting them (no Motor Trend, that doesn't mean you, sit back down). While the LS version's styling is...ah...interesting, that shouldn't be the deciding factor in buying one. The LS is meant to be raced, plain and simple. How it looks in your driveway or cruising down Mainstreet is secondary. If that's your main concern than the LS isn't the car for you. Stick to a GT.

Those are the only three options I want! I really hope Ford offers them on the BOSS.

I think it's interesting that the color selection is so similar to the 1969 offering. 1969 had calypso corral (comp orange), bright yellow (yellow blaze), acapulco blue (kona), and wimbeldon white (performance white). 4 colors was it. Of course the most famous color scheme of the 69 Boss Trans Am race cars was red with the white roof and stripes, which could be done with the 2012.
I have mixed emotions about the colors as well. IMO, you can't go wrong with comp orange or white. Yellow is a classic Boss color (2nd most produced color back in the day next to calypso), but I can't decide if I like the Blaze...a little too gold. Love Kona, but I'm not sure I love it with the Boss stripes.
The door is wide open for a bunch of new colors in 2013 (along with a 70 boss style hockey stick stripe and shaker hood)

I really like the stripe design. But I always liked the '69 look better than the '70. I'll take white, orange, or yellow. Or red if I have to--whatever comes in first. Also, I think the blacked-out fog lamps look really cool.

Has anybody been able to find any audio of this car running? Even at idle? (Besides the 5 seconds of B roll video on youtube).
With all the people at the media release, somebody must have fired one of them up. I'm dying to see how this thing sounds.
