So Much Complaining

I'm sorry mods, for the hard work that you do and isn't appreciated. After following a thread complaining that there was no California Special section, I am shocked that has been up for days now and no topics! At any given time there are 35-70 people looking at the Boss thread, and for good reason too! What? Where are all the loyal GT/CS owners? Come guys, you are better than this

this has been brought up over the years a few times. I think it all came down to a CS being a GT with options. It would be like having a sub forum for glass roofs or heated seats or the GT trim packages.

I consider the California Special to be the longest running special editon Mustang. I would like to see it replaced with a Boss Mustang special editon.

Longest running special edition Mustang? Allow me to compare a few for you....

California Special: 1968, 2007-09, and 2011-14. That's 8 model years.

GT500: 1967-70, and 2007-14. That's 12 model years.

Mach 1: 1969-1978, and 2003-04. That's 12 model years.

Why isn't there a subforum for people that wanted a GT/CS but thought the color palete sucked, so they bought a GT in the color they wanted and then added all the GT/CS bits, then also added lemans stripes? sheesh, help a girl out.

Like it or not the GT/CS been a special edition since 68. It is a part of the mustang heritage. Just because it was available as a package option in recent years doesn't negate the fact. It has always been an appearance package, and the nod to the 68 is part of the reason i chose the model. Plus you can add all the parts you want, it doesn't make it a true GT/CS any more than putting a GT500 kit on my car makes it a GT500.

I for one am glad to see the new section of the forum. GTCS'ers unite!

I cannot believe there is so much hate for this model from within the Mustang community! Yeah it's just body parts and some cool bits inside but I still enjoy mine. I enjoy being one of the only ones in my area with this model and color. Although that puts me at an disadvantage when it comes to the law!

no its not... its a factory option! I guess anything you can order is a special edition. the V6 PP is more different then a normal v6 then a CS is to a GT.

A club america car is also a factory option.

a GT500 is a GT500 because its numbers and has a different motor and a few other factors.
