Dealer near me has a LS. When my parents friend went to buy a car from them yesterday I went with her and asked the salesman if they had it since I saw it online. He said maybe or maybe not depending on if I was planning on buying it. He wouldn't even let me go see it unless I was planning on buying it and wouldn't disclose the price other than saying its was marked up significantly.

I tried though!

You seem to have a lot of misplaced anger towards the Boss. Is there anything you'd like to share with the group?

3. I don't know which GT500 you're trying to say has flywheel issues and grinding trans, I guess I got one of the good ones out of 5500, lucky me yay

4. It always ALWAYS comes down to money with Shelby haters. Sorry you can't afford it, I can't afford a bugatti but I'm not crying about the overpriced supercar.

5. Parnelli Jones, talk about the oldest profession on earth. What does a Shelby hater need most. A super hero to defeat their darkest enemy, the evil Carroll Shelby. Now back to the oldest profession , you hate Shelby so much, I can actually see you falling in love with Jones just by reading your post about him. Very creepy

It's just an impression I get from the tone of your past posts in this forum.

Or maybe you're just looking to bait a GT500 vs. Boss comparison (which I'm sure will be beaten to death over the coming months until the next generation car appears).

Not once did I say I don't like the BOSS 302 in fact, I do. On the other hand where are all the complaints about pricing. The GT500 is overpriced and the Boss isn't, ridiculous. I like all MUSTANGS and pricing wouldn't change my thoughts on them. Period

Come on, maybe not you, but that's usually the theme when Shelby is mentioned.

I think a lot of people here have compared the dealer markups being seen on the Boss to the original markups seen on the GT500 which were similarly absurd.

That said, they're all expensive cars, Boss or GT500, especially when you consider that they're Mustangs but I still believe you get a lot of performance for the dollar with either machine.

Regardless, don't let someone's opinion on a forum ruin your enjoyment of your beautiful car.
