I'm now starting to think about getting the Boss Laguna Seca next year and keeping the Z as my DD. Soooooo tempting.

It's the only Boss I'd get. Unfortunately it's quantities are said to be at 500 per year, so it might be hard to find at MSRP or below.

Yeah, I heard 4000 Boss units per year with 500 of those being Laguna's. There will be the typical dealer rape.

The Camaro cluster is pretty bad. At least the Premium GT cluster looks pretty decent. After a while you get used to the faces but the Boss and GT500 definitely look better. The good thing about Ford Racing is they are probably going to make the Boss cluster available for sale without a vin number. I could get the GT500 one right now but since it uses the 5.4L the tach is off (and of course there's also that pesky boost gauge that has no relevance... yet).

2 keys? One for reg and one for all out? So do you get 4 keys altogether? Looks like they took a page from personal watercraft. One key to limit its rpms for beginners and one for the one who knows what they are doing. But yeah I think a button or switch would have been better. Normal key probably doesn't restrict it that much. That would be kinda cool. You give the rpm restricted valet key to drop your car off. They won't be able to rag it then.

The Red key is basically a race tune. It changes something like 200 different parameters in the ecu... the car is pretty nasty with the red key. The reason its not a switch is because that would subject it to EPA scrutiny. Its more than just a slight few changes... its quite a huge difference in terms of the performance of the car.

I think using the regular key on the boss compared with a GT would be like the difference between a nismo and base Z.

Correct, the red key I believe is written in the manual as an 'off-road' feature and does not meet XX standards. Which basically tells you you really need to do nothing with this car if you want to track it.

So the only time the blue key get used is where you get your yearly inspection or lone it to your son on prom night.

The Boss is SICK. I like the idea of Z as DD and Boss as track car; good thought.

I can't wait until this comes out and starts racing; can't wait for the model either!!
