Maybe your sarcastic post would actually be funny if you would have looked it up?

http://jalopnik.com/5958888/ford-kills-the-boss-302

The Boss was only intended to be a 2 year run, just like the original.[/QUOTE]

was not trying to be sarcastic but the boss 302 Laguna Seca was only built in 2012 as for a regular boss 302 maybe so ! ither way i would never buy a Mustang I have driven both the Boss (Laguna)and the 2013 Gt500 Shelby both cars were track editions, and ither car can not put the power down to the pavement Mustangs are led sleds and with a gross weight of 2700KG for the newest shelby 650HP with only 285s on the rear you do the math ....

With that said back to the subject I also cant wait to see the 2014 Corvette on JAN 13 but I have a bad feeling and thats all i will say,

If i were to buy another vette if its ever produced it will be a C7 Z06 i am sure by then the new look will have set in,
for now i will be fine with this !

I apologize for misunderstanding your post. But no, there's a 2013 Laguna Seca Boss 302.

To have 662hp and 285's in the back is basically just a burnout machine. A very fast burnout machine.

The only Mustang I would ever buy is the new Boss 302's or a 2000 Cobra R. I envy you for being able to drive the new GT500. I really would love to feel that pull! But still, a Mustang's no Vette.

I'm listing my 2008 C6 Z51 for sale this weekend. I already know that if I can't swing a new C7 due to demand and/or inflated dealer prices, I'll get into a newish Z06 this Summer instead.

PM if you have any questions before the ad goes up. It's the car in my avatar.

May downsize to one car and the new 4 Series may do it. But it's not out yet so like the C7, I have to see it in person.

I believe my heart would be set on a new hardtop jaguar Ftype [c-X-16concept]. It appears the ferrai F12 B is goning to be out of my budget for the next few years.

Prudence in this economy is a precious discipline.

Love my JSB 08 C6. Have some mods already that get me to 445 RWHP. Probably spend money on a few more mods and keep it. Also may just put a few more mods on the 2000 FRC Track car and enjoy VIR, Summit Point and a few other tracks

Very happy where I am at the moment...

{****** cell phone snap}



But I am very curious to see the C7 in person. If I don't like it, I'm going to be just fine with the current stable.

I concur; need something a little more practical at this point.
