I order my Brembo GT way before ford said Hay ! were making Boss 302 now. I when to the trouble to order a 300a GT ,Brembos and 3.73 gears to get the best starting point i could get at the time . Now with the Boss out dose not mater any more . The Boss is the car i was trying to make but i lose to much money now to do the trade in . So iam going to keep on working with what i got . Just doing the springs , shock & struts was a nite to day change in the car .
M3hunter only you can make that chose is the money worth the lost to you to get the Boss 302.
My self i just keep trucking on with my GT hang out here in the Boss part of the board see how the guys are coming along with there cars .
I came up with this look for my car and so far i'am been Dam happy with the car .

Probably I will wait until I have a decent deal.
Compared my present GT Brembo with my prior '02 Porsche Carrera that I used to track, I really don't miss that car, FORD made a great car.
. I bought it after readed the M3 VS Brembo article in MT mag.

300AGT, Do you like the handling on your KONI + Steeda set up?
Probably I will wait until I have a decent deal.

I would love to have a boss. However if your going to trade up to anything it should be a GT500. Especially considering a 600 HP beast in the future.

I think they will take our comments much seriously now that we can actually get beat the phillies. Something they can't and will never do.
I'm sorry I happen to have short term memory... Who won the works series last year?

That's what I've convinced myself. At the very least, it's going to be massively faster around the local tracks.
As stated by cloud9, it's all about intended usage. The GT500 isn't even on my radar but the second I read about the Boss, I knew I had to have one.

To each their own, there are many people are getting blown (Giggity) and having no issues with that especially considering you are getting a factory warranty on supercharged vehicle.

Giants have 5 championships now, not that I'm expecting dodger fans to remember the brooklyn days since they were the laughing stock of the NY teams back in the early 1900's

For 10 grand less, the Boss was perfect for me. I don't plan on tracking it much if at all...but I wanted something different that I wouldn't have to change the exhaust right away on(thus not a GT). The 600hp GT500 kinda makes me laugh...they have trouble putting the 550 to it currently while keeping traction. Extra hp isn't always the answer. It does help though

I'm, unfortunately, not even able to consider a Boss right now, but if I were in your situation it would boil down to 2 questions:
1) Do I have the money for the trade?
2) Am I looking at keeping the Boss for the long haul? (meaning not give it up in 5-10 years)
If the answer to both questions is a "yes", then I say go for it without hesitation. If however either one is a "no", I'd hold off.

Waiting for the 2013s might not be a good idea, expecially if next year is the LAST year for the Boss.......you thought the Boss was hard to get this year, just wait.

The same was said for the GT500 with less competition than the Boss. I've seen some gold rushes for Mustang SEs but none as I did for the '07 GT500. By the time the '08 MY came about it had settle down. I don't expect the Boss to be any different.
This is very early stage when many feel they don't want to miss the boat, to dealers' delight. I would state patience is a virtue, once inventories grow and dealers have a Boss seating in their showrooms for a couple of months offers will be more receptive.

Hi i think the Steeda sport springs and Koni are one of the best things i done to the car. Call Sam Strano here a link to his shop http://www.stranoparts.com/ you tell him what you are trying to do with your car and he can come up with a plan to get you from point A to point B at the best cost . Realy the spring and shock & struts were a nite to day change on the car to me .

There's always something better just around the corner. Buy a '12 Boss? You might kick yourself when the '13 Boss arrives (don't expect any mechanical changes, but there will likely be a few trim/headlamp/tail lamp change). Then in '15, there's the all new car.......
The '11 Brembo GT is awesome (I've been lucky enough to drive one) so just choose a few tasteful mods and enjoy it

Yes they did. The estimated production was 7K for the GT500, I believe about 9K was the actual production while the Boss is projected to be 7K for the two year run. Projected is a key word.
The '03 - '04 Mach 1 was also supposed to be a limited production which I believe was exceeded. My point is Ford always promotes limited productions on SEs to imply scarcity only to increase productions when sales figures command it.
