Boss doesn't come in auto or with the luxuries you get with premium trim. Can't get glass roof, leather, premium sound, etc.

MC 04-26-2012 07:29 PM

yeah my brother cant drive manual lol and the recaros are cloth so he wanted leather

and im not sure but when i speced it out in black in the ford sight it made me add the leguna seca package.... so im not sure you can get the regular 302 in black

i must admit that big *** ford sync screen is pretty cool... makes the GTRs looks small

so far im not feeling the select button.... i might get used to it but it needs paddles

MC 04-26-2012 07:47 PM

oh i almost forgot for those of you who know mustangs... this car didnt have those projectors on the side mirrors that shoot out like a mustang bat signal on the ground below.... there was a V6 there that had it..... is it just on the V6s? not that its a big deal its like 20% cool 80% gimmicky i think anyway...just curious

It will get them with the new trans. I'm pretty sure this was the cheap way to add it to the current 6at. Probably also Fords way of saying get the damn manual if you want to change gears yourself. :icon17:

Sleek 5.0, I'm loving the 2013 in black. Those tails look so good, love the recaros.

Also, if you are spending 45 why not get a Boss302?

Sweet. Did you see the spec update? 662hp/631lb-ft. :tup:

MC already covered the Boss part. You can't get leather, auto, glass roof, premium sound, etc. with the Boss.

864Zbeast 04-26-2012 08:13 PM

That's a nice stang! Like others have said I see a lot of stangs/camaros not many 370. But I will admit that I used to hate mustangs but I love the new ones 2011 and up. Especially the 2013. So nice! Oh and that GT-R=beast! Congrats!

Ho lee chit. No way! I didn't hear about this, and I work at Ford! Granted, I work on the Escape, but still :P.
Yeah I saw you answered the question right after I posted. What's your opinion on the glass roof? I omitted it from my Shelby, I dunno how I would like it. Have you all used the track apps much yet?

you know i like the roof its not as dark inside as i thought.... but we are gonna do the windows at 40% and might so the inside of the roof too not sure yet...but overall its nice it really opens up the cabin and has a pull shade if you dont like it........ is it worth the price? hmm maybe not but it wasnt my money so i like it....

the track apps... ive scrolled through them yeah but havent done any accelerations... will get to that when it gets a few 100 mile on it

terbo 04-26-2012 08:47 PM

Break in that engine properly and go rip on it now, gotta get those rings to set with the cylinders and the best way to do that is by warming it up then doing some third gear redline pulls. ;)

speedfreek 04-26-2012 09:30 PM

I have always bashed on the Fords but I am really starting to like the 2013. The tail lamps look sick on them. This has got to be the best looking one yet. It looks more aggressive. Almost makes me wish I didn't get my Z...almost. I def wouldn't have gotten the glass roof but that is just me.

MC 04-26-2012 09:56 PM

the taillights at night are awesome they look like tron or something

When I bought my Z in 09 I was seriously considering a 2010 Mustang also, but didn't want the 4.6. I've loved owning my Z and don't regret it a second, but am super excited to be moving on to something with instant insane torques. Had the 5.0 been out when I was car shopping back then, there's a good chance I would have gone with that.

And stop bashing Ford! We make awesome cars ;)

Ridgerunner 04-26-2012 11:30 PM

I had a 2001 Premium GT with leather seats. What a waste of good leather, nobody sits back there. Too bad Ford can't make the fronts leather and the back seats cloth and give you a credit.

:iagree:

If it had Paddles I probably would have bought one already. I was so so so close to buying one. Had all the numbers down and everything but I walked away just before signing.

Steve, is the 2014 going to have paddles?

The Dimer 04-27-2012 08:30 AM

I cannot get myself to like the new tail light design no matter how hard I try. A set of tinted '10-'12 tail would make it perfect IMO.

The rest of the car looks phenomenal, though. :tup:

Edit - Then I look back at the pictures and it's already starting to grow on me. :icon17:

b1adesofcha0s 04-27-2012 08:36 AM

Saw one of the 2013's on the road (was just a V6 though) and those tail lights look awesome in person.

My bashing wasn't anything to do with the car itself it was more of the fact you see them everywhere especially around here and the same with the new Camaros. Everytime I spot one I look for the GT or SS badge and every now and then I spot a GT500. There is one Boss rolling around here somewhere. A guy at my gym just picked up his '13 GT and it looks good. I never cared for the earlier models but the '13's they have done right. Who knows maybe in a couple years I will be in the market for something new :stirthepot:

Before I got the Z I was thinking about getting an SS and doing the Firebird Trans Am conversion. But for $30k on top of the price for the SS it is a little steep to get the gold chicken on the hood.

Yeah, next generation is getting DCT with the paddles.

Is not an idea car for someone as ocd as me....I do all types of track stuff with it and if something happens and its my fault then so be it...but its just not a good car to hop In and run to the mall or something...every thing on it is so damn expensive to replace and what not...

The mustang is just a cool car that I wouldn't worry about as much

dude buy a pos kia DD and keep your gtr

I don't think he's selling the GT-R, he just uses it as more of a weekend car than a DD. :p

bdavis89 04-27-2012 09:36 AM

If I had a GT-R it would definitely be my DD. Pure awesomeness.

I said that about my Z, until I realized how many meaningless miles I was putting on it driving driving back and forth to work. Would have been over 100K in less than for years. :ugh2:

Speedy 04-27-2012 11:16 AM

Nice, you actually get nice bang for the buck in the Mustang. I'm going to see about getting one of the new GT500s to the stable. The Challenger needs a buddy to play with LOL

printingray1 04-27-2012 02:50 PM

I'm going to replace my 2009 GT-R A/T (base) 3.8L V6 engine with 370z 2011 as it's too much expensive for me to use everywhere. I had a Mustang GT 2009 before coming to GT-R. Now I want to switch to another one. What is the best option?

MC 05-18-2012 07:23 PM

about what i expected 0-60 was 4.9 on this run
