Thanks for input. Lets .not turn vett vs stang thread I have always had a thing for mustangs GT500 is the best you can get right now. But it comes with a $60k+ price tag. The Boss 302 would be a great investment and they did a hell of a job with that car. Roush is an aftermarket company, not a Ford thing, but they do make some great mods to the cars. |

This will be a personal choice, you are not comparing the 500 HP version to the 200 HP version, you are looking at the higher end models, more performance models.
To some an extra 50 HP and a .01 second 0-60 quicker time is worth the $$$$. I would look for the other features that you want, seat comfort, ride, handling etc. to help decide what works for you. When Mrs. Kubota was GF Kubota she was car shopping and decided that the Acura even though had more power and more fun to drive, was not worth the little bit harsher ride and more $$$ over the Honda or Mazda, she ended up with the Mazda. |

They're discontinuing the Boss. It's my personal fave. Better check the insurance costs before you buy anything. |

Best budget Mustang is the base 5.0 with Performance Package (Boss 302 suspension + Brembo brakes + big wheels /.tires) and Recaro seat option.
Comes out to around $10K less than the Boss, but with all the real goodies. If you've got to have the extra 20hp the Boss has, you can buy the upgrade parts from Ford Racing for alot less than the cash you save buying the car. |

Run it until the warranty is done and it's paid off, then throw a blower on it. |

Thanks for input. Lets .not turn vett vs stang thread I have always had a thing for mustangs Boss will be out of production soon so the LS would be the best bet. It was only slated for a 2 year run. Then the GT500 Then a GT The new mustang comes out next year by the way. Independent rear, new engine, trans and everything. You might want to wait to see what is coming. If you dont like the new styling you will definitely be able to get a deal on a 13 that they are going to try and move off the lots. |

Shelby GT500,boss, V6 in that order
I got the V6 because thats all I could afford to pay up front with and I can get 40mpg on the highway But for the price of a speced out Gt you could pony up another 3 grand and get a boss :/ |

The glass roof adds 28#'s to the Mustang. Not a lot. The downside is it is at the top of the cars center of gravity so if you are going to be doing a lot of tracking and road racing it would not be a good choice. Quoted:

That's 9 more than it is rated for and about the same as a Fiesta. That has to be a typo.
Does your 1 ton diesel get 30mpg too? |

I like the diff grays and silver's, and black, both with some kind of ghosting rally stripes.as far as aftermarket parts I am either going to buy a mustang with all the fixings or a nice 5.0 and do the work myself!! Either way the tires, wheels, and paint will b changed for sure.
