Knock on wood, but, how has your Boss aged?
 
I just hit 30k miles, and my Boss still runs like it was brand new. I still hate the transmission, and will probably never buy another Ford because of it, but I like plenty of other things about the Boss. I do like the Recaros, the wide tires in the back, and the sound of the engine. I got some Michelins for the front, will be buying back tires soon. Still love the color....

Do an MGW X Spec. Trust me. It's the closest these cars will ever feel to having a proper Tremec gearbox. I LOVE shifting now.

Only 18,000 on my 13.
Drive it every day summer & Michigan winters with snow tires.
Never stuck in 3 yrs.

Just hit 10k on mine still smells new and gets my heart beating fast like a teen on prom night. Still makes the other boss jealous

This is great news, guys!
how do the Recaro seats hold up to wear? Any worries about the Torsen's longevity?

So far so good, there is a bit of fade on the leading edge of the drivers seat bolster but not bad at all considering I daily it and the rear has been no problem at all :nice:

Getting close to 5-1/2 years in June. 8200 miles and summer driven only. Tracked and have a few scratches, one tiny ding on the passenger side wheel well. Could use a good detail but I do track the car too and she's going to get some chips but overall the 2012 looks great and still shows well. Interior is immaculate and she runs great.

After autocross today this Boss is still a blast to race. love it.

A year later I am at 36k miles. Still on my second set of tires.

That pearl in the paint is an eye catcher DAYVE.
That's what made me go Yellow Blaze.
I will say you are one of the first that replaced the front tires before the rears with all that power :grin:.

Ya, about that. From what I have heard, the Boss has an aggressive alignment, that causes some crazy wear to the inner third of the front tires. I had no idea until I took it in for an oil change, and the tech called me over while the Boss was in the air.....crazy and thread bare....

Dayve 10/8/18 12:50 AM

Hit 42k miles......still no mods, got new floor mats and put the original ones in the trunk.

105000 miles. Several sets of tires. A few rattles here and there but more fun than I have ever had in a car.
