And if you got the track itch again, you wouldn't regret hacking it up or the track duty. The downside is you'll see them everywhere, so i personally wouldn't get one.

Definitely not going to be a DD, but I don't intend for it to be a track rat either. My kids are getting old enough to realize that I've had some pretty cool cars and they haven't been able to ride in most of them. This car will make up for that void and it'll be used for a nice weekend "bruiser" for me to take the family on some thrilling rides...of course there will be the occasional trackday in between though

For the "occasional" trackday, it certainly must perform! I'm confident that either choice will perform beyond my capabilities, but I have realized that I want a bit of exclusiveness in the car, so the Boss is more than likely going to be the choice (unless I stumble upon a GT350 for $40k lol!)

It's really coming down to model year and color at this point...

I've pretty much narrowed the choices down to two cars. Both have very low miles and priced almost exactly the same:

2012 Performance White BOSS 302
*4800 miles, original owner, Recaros, Torsen, Boss mats, Boss car cover, ALL original dealers docs and Boss owner package, etc. Bad part is its across the continent and I'd be buying site unseen.
*I really like the frontend and black roof of the '12 Boss. Looks more aggressive in my opinion and the body looks smaller due to the unpainted rocker panels. I've always liked white cars, regardless whether its a Mustang or not, because its a timeless color that won't get old. They always look clean too!




2013 Gotta Have It Green
*non-original owner, ~7k miles, "most" of the Boss owners pack (not sure about original docs), tasteful mods (splitter, exhaust, springs, and tint), and its in CA.
*I like the '13 rearend and new electronics. The color has always appealed to me because its so loud and bold. The Boss deserves to be seen!

That one is WAY overpriced.

I prefer the 11/12 front, the taillights can be added from 13/14 too giving best of both worlds. Don't think it matters to you but keep in mind no Sync in 12s only on 13s.

That said I wouldn't buy a car sight unseen. Even though it has low mileage, I'd pay to have the '12 inspected. The shipping cost sucks too.

If you like each car equally, I'd go with the '13 just for sake of simplicity. Plus, you gotta make the wife happy. LOL

I've loved your PW '12 since the first time you posted pictures of it. Your car is really what made me think about getting a Boss in the first place. I know it is extremely risky to purchase as car sight unseen, but he shared copies of a bunch of documents, car fax, and tons of pics/videos. I'd be comfortable buying it if I can make up my mind about color options.

After speaking with my wife about the two colors, she actually thinks white would be the better option since we both probably won't get tired of looking at it lol.

I contacted Bruce yesterday and told him what I can get the white '12 for, shipped to my door. He's pretty firm in his price and is still above what I can get the '12 for. The one thing he has going for him is that he is somewhat local to me so I would be able to see and drive the car. I plan to make my way up there later next week.

Let me know when you're going to be up here. It would be good to finally put a face to the name. Maybe we can grab a bite to eat. I'll bring the Boss. That way you can see the PW in person to help with your decision.

---

Sounds good! We have actually met in person before it was on one of the smaller cruises that Terrence and I somewhat organized. I had the FALEEN and you had the G8

I haven't seen very many Boss 302's on the road since they first came out in 2012! I've probably seen a total of 5 or so as of today. I've seen them at mustang shows and Shelby events, but I don't count that.

I agree with you though, I've never seen a GHIG Boss on the road, but have seen maybe 2 white '12's in the past. But even then, they're pretty rare as is!

In comparison to the new GT350, which I've already seen 8-10 on the road, it seems that the '12-13 Boss is more rare (at least in CA)
