Okay, off of the soapbox. SHELBYGT500 - what do you think is the big price difference between the Boss & the GT500 apart from the engine? Is it the "comfort options" that come standard on the GT500 that are not available for the Boss?
Most of the price difference is probably supercharger.

No amount of upgrades will replace the amount of fun the 2012 Boss owners have had for the past year (or less). And I agree it is the raw pleasure that makes it fun. The only option I would like is the garage door opener in the rear view mirror (myHome?)

On the mirror, but you would have to grab the rear view mirror every time, wouldn't you?

Yes, I guess thats not much different than carrying the opener. Would rather have it built into the visor like my wife's Nissan.

I'm not being hyper sensitive. Nearly all of your posts contain some sort of "jab" or backhanded compliment. You really need to take a look in the mirror because you're the kind of guy who gets enjoyment out of bringing other people down.
I'll wave my usual fee for the diagnosis.

HIDs are a $600 option, Sync was offered for some vehicles at $395, then lowered to $295 now, so, I'd think $1500-2000 is probably a fair estimate at the upcharges.

Prices across the entire Ford lineup generally creep up about 3%/year. @ $41k that's a little over $1200 WITHOUT any improvements/enhancements figured in. $1800 sounds about right. Having Sync and HID's across the lineup should lower Ford's $/unit.

$10k for a mass prodused Eaton? : don't be an ding dong, I didn't say that.
Reply: he said I couldn't say motor but the 5.0 is only a 6-7k motor and the 5.4 is 19-20k motor

You can BUY the home-link visor for the car...ask me how I know. I did not state anywhere that it was an option when I bought the car so what was the point in your comment?

I know what the EP is, I have it, so clearly you know exactly what's going to happen on the Boss.

We'll come back here and see who's right?

Accounting for yearly inflation/price increase the car would have to jump $3k for your argument to hold water.


Time will certainly tell.
