Very nice!



Do you get an employee discount?
That video makes me like the 2013 Boss 302s ... The white on that looks really nice!! The SBY is an awesome color and I kind of want one even though I don't like the 2013 front lol

Doesn't Advance Track do that as well? I thought it applied the breaks on a wheel that was experiencing to much wheel spin to try and wrangle the car back in

Still not a big fan of the front end either. I am more than happy with my 2012 though, love the color! Wouldn't mind having the track apps, but I am just fine without them too. Plus I am well over 1000 miles and can hit the track whenever! Whenever I have time and fuel that is, lol.

Need some help if anyone has any ideas (Paul maybe). Had something really weird happen in the 500 the other day when I was going to that car show. I stopped at the store for some gas, it was early in the morning and still cool out.

When I pulled out of the store I decided to get on it a little. I got it straightened up and matted it in first rolling about 10 mph (TC fully on, didn't even think to turn it off, was a spur of the moment thing).

It jumped out quick but as soon as it hit about 3500 it came unglued. The TC kicked in harder than I've ever experienced it in this car. It literally fell on its face and felt like it shut off completely. I shifted into second and matted it again and it came back to life and took off but for only for about 2 seconds and fell on its face again just like before.

So I gave up and shifted into third planning to just drive on normally and that was where the problem happened and it freaked me out. All of the previous happened so quickly that I don't know if this was happening at the time and I didn't notice or if it didn't happen until I backed off. It was vibrating and making a WRRRRRRPPP WRRRRRPPP WWRRRRRRPP sound much like the sound of running over those rumble strips leading up to a stop sign, but it seemed to only be coming from the rear, the right rear especially and it felt like a brake grabbing and releasing.

My mind was racing through what the hell was happening and I noticed then that the TC light was flashing. So I turned the TC off and it quit immediately.

Now, my question is have any of you experienced anything like that, and what could it have been? My thought is that something in the rear caliper or calipers stuck or the TC/stability control was still trying to activate, maybe from a faulty reading from a wheel speed sensor.

The vibration is what bothered me the most though, I don't see how applying the brake was causing that and I feared it was something in the TracLoc unit in the diff.

After that it was fine the rest of the way and all the way back home. Even got on it a couple of times with no issue, but I didn't nail it in first, just matted it in second a couple of times.
Sounds like there was an error with the TCS....the TCS system incorporates both timing and brake systems. If the Right rear wheel sensor sent an incorrect signal it could have caused that problem.

Diana and I saw a 2013 on Saturday and the front end IMO looked worse in person then it did in pictures. The Boss grill just looks very bulbous to me. I would love the track apps too, they are pretty cool and the gauges are pretty **** accurate which would be a nice thing to have lol

1000 miles? Is that the "break in" period?

the grille sticks out too much, why are the headlights pushed back, why does it have a shelby look to it, it was a v6 pony package and it was just terrible, love the sterling color and the tailights are nice...a 2010-2012 with those tailights would be nice

On another note companies need to realize that automated phone systems only serve to make sure that once you get a live human being on the phone that you are good and pissed off....

this!

I like to shout the answers back to the automated questions. But sometimes I forget to stop shouting when a live person picks up the line

They say 1000 miles before taking it to the track. Weather wasn't the best before she went in storage anyway.

I would like to have a 2012 Boss 302 and a 2013 Laguna Seca

Unless I could get a 2012 Silver Laguna Seca and turn the red accents into Black ones
