I went form a 2020 GT Premium with PP!, magnaride and Active exhaust, Really liked the car, but I had always wanted a Boss, so I sold it and bought one.
Yes the 2020 was way more refined. but the Boss is so much more fun. For a long trip I would prefer the 2020, But going for a cruise the Boss...
I had a 2020 GT with PP1, magnaride and active exhaust. I sold it and now have a 13 Boss 302.
The 2020 was a nice car, but I have to admit I do like the rawness and handling of the Boss better.
I am happy with the stock power for the streets, but one of the main advantages of the Boss is the...
Shifting always at 6,000 rpm is fairly aggressive driving. When I'm cruising around town I can easily shift at under 3,000 rpm. Just saying that in the lower gears you may want to keep the RPM a little lower to keep the car from feeling squirrelly as you mentioned. I drive to enjoy the ride, but...
Both of these vehicles are fun and special. They work and handle great. While the GT350 may be a little better for track use, neither one is a real race car. If I wanted one solely for track use or to race, by the time I had it set up, it would not be any fun on the street at all. It is all...
I just prefer the square'r look of the S197, the Red Track key on the Boss has that great old lopi idle and sound. The Quad exhaust sound. I do not use these cars as DD, so I just look for the enjoyment they give going for a drive. The Boss to me give's more of a look and feel of a Mustang...
One of the reasons I really liked the Boss 302, is that it's looks take me back to the glory days of muscle cars in the 60's. I really liked my 2020 GT PP1 car, but the fun factor was not the same as the Boss, especially with the Track Key. Will agree the S550 does have a more european and...
Have to say this has been interesting, seeing all the divergent views and reasons for our purchase decisions. Guess that's why the manufactures have to make so many different models
I think your missing the point also, we are stating that the rawness and plain design of the Boss is part of it's appeal. My thoughs on a 2013 GT as a daily driver would be different.
I find the Boss quicker than my 2020 was with the PP1 handling pkg and 6-speed MT Transmission. (460hp. and 3.73 gears) the Boss had 444hp
The tighter gearing in the older transmission is a huge improvement. The M-1, with the Tremec is geared lower than the newer 6-Speed MT in the GT's. So you...
I always liked the retro look of the 197, guess that's what happens when I get old. The S197 reminds me of the late 70's mustangs that I grew up and wanted so bad
Having first owned a 2020 GT with PP1 and magneride with Active exhaust, and know the 13 Boss.
If I was going for a trip, the 2020 would be my preference. To cruise around town and just enjoy the drive The Boss wins hands down. Even cruising slowly the Boss feels so much more engaged and fun
Haven't got a Bullitt, but my Boss is starting to get the itch to hibernate for the winter.
Hopefully we can get a couple of nice drives out her before that happens
That's the same charger I use, any time one of my vehicles sits for more than 3 or 4 days I put if on. (Very common for the Boss to sit for a week or more)
I would try it for a bit and see if the battery holds a charge or not. Keep it charged for a week. Then let it sit for a few days. If it...
