Looks like the Boss Stangs have problems

I came here and all I saw was blown transmissions, oil consumption problems, seized motors, and things like that.

Ford makes a great vehicle. The PPH on the mustang is lower than the 370Z last I saw.

IMO, I would hate my 370Z with a blower. It would be like driving a fast dump-truck. It's just not made for that kind of acceleration/power. The wheel-base is too short, the gears are too short, just a total miss-match. If you want that kind of power, buy a car that comes with it. Z06/Viper/GT500/etc. Having been there, done that, I can tell you that the factory just gets it right.

Well, it's hard to conclude that the same problems will exist for your Boss 302 if you bought one; However, reading about many cases of faulty motors/mechanicals isn't promising man.

IMHO< You already have the more desirable car: Nissan 370z Nismo

What he said. All I saw on the Z forums were CSC failures, Oil consumption, etc. People rarely report "hey, my engine is running good guys" threads. Also, I just switched to a 2013 Premium Mustang gt 6 speed, and I LOVE IT.
