I think the Boss should come stripped down, just as announced. The reality of having a lot of options is that the dealers will order the cars loaded up, and that defeats the purpose of the Boss. The only way you'll be able to get a base model will be to order it. Having said that, my preferences for options would be:

1) Stripe delete
2) Roof and hood color delete (separate from stripe delete)
3) Rear strut brace
4) Rear seat delete
5) HID headlamps
6) Security system
7) Silver color option for wheels

 

I think this is a resonable request, although with the stripes being painted on I doubt this will happen.

Hopefully security system will be standard but who knows.

3 and 4 should be a combined package with the recaros and torsen lsd.

 

Those are standard on the LS and can be put on the standard model according to the literature.

 

The stripes being painted on.... is that conjecture or fact? I can't believe the factory would take the time to paint them on.

 

That would rock if you could see and record track data - acceleration, Road holding, braking, ect.

 

I don't think the "stripes" are painted, although the roof probably will be.

 

0-60 times, qtr mile. Kinda like the system in the SRT8 Challenger.

I don't know if the stripes are painted my mistake if they aren't.

 

Mustangs did not come with leather in those days.

 

NO DEALER MARK-UP!!!!!!!!!!!

Other wise the Boss 302 would be perfect for me as my new DD!!!!! **** DEALERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

+2 Those of you that want Nav, electronics etc. go buy a GT. The Boss is race car, not a luxury cruiser. My biggest request is to offer black on the standard Boss 302 model and at least offer a stripe delete option. The color combinations Ford selected are hideous.

 

I don't know why every1 is complaining about the color options. They are staying true to what options were being offered back in '69.

I personally like:

CO/Blk
Red/White
White/Blk (yet to be seen)

 

-HIDs
-Security Package
-Sync (without the Shaker 500)
-gauge pod from the Laguna Seca available on the base 302

 

Sync and glass roof.

EDIT: And the gauge pod on standard Boss.

 

Functional shaker hood scoop

 

IMHO the performance of the Boss is what should be true to the original - and the 2012 Boss 302 delivers there hands down. So why are we limiting ourselves to the color pallet from 1969? Give buyers some options, that's all I'm asking for. Clearly, there should be some heritage options available for those who choose that path but for the rest of us, don't force us to fit the "retro" only mold.

 

That makes sense. Sorry if I came off a little misunderstanding. I reread my post and realized my mistake. we are in fact in 2010 and should have more options. Sorry.

I completely agree and wish they would have offered GB and BLK as colors but sadly they didn't. Hell for that matter GO should have made a return. However we do not know what 2013 will bring. For all we know they will continue the Boss.

I would love to have a numbered plaque kinda like the GT500s had.

 

There is one. It is on the intake behind the strut tower brace.

 

I suspect that the rear seat X-brace could be made to fit behind the convertible version of the back seat, with only minor trimming to the backside of the seat itself. Unfortunately, I believe the seat is a little bit narrower than the coupe version. This would necessitate some sort of filler material along the sides for a clean look. The convertible seat back is quite light, only a few lbs.

 

I hope if you're buying one, please don't drive it on the street.

It's a street car. $5 says it's going to have a radio in it. So who cares if it's the EP or the Shaker? You want HID headlamps, a security system and silver wheels, all not necessary for a race car either.

It's my money, the thread title is "What options would you like for the new Boss 302?"

 

BOSS 429 option!
