Boss 302 or Mach 1

[Coastal-Mach]

I’m not feeling the black and red on the LS..I’m thinking it looks too cartoonish for me. I like the GHIG, SBY and Black of the non LS best. Those red wheels……not gonna do it for me.

I agree with you. Its too much of a good thing.

Ooooh boy - let us know how it works out! You really were serious that this thread started a tingle for a B302!

That is another good price for 2012 B302LS with very low miles.

Trust me - finding a 2012 B302LS with under 1k miles with asks of $54k-$59k is very, very fair & reasonable, because it's rarer for them to pop up for sale than the standard B302's.

There is a 2013 Black B302LS for $40k here if anyone is looking:

The 2013 above has been sitting there for a bit, so I'm sure someone can score that for roughly $37k/38k out the door ... especially considering we're now into "winter" months for sport cars.

Growing up mustangs were always my dream car. I had the opportunity to buy a Ecoboost Premium a few years back and loved it until the motor blew on it. At the time I couldn't afford to replace it/own a GT, so I bought a CRV until I was making more money. I went and drove the '22 Mustang GT, and if I'm going to be honest, I was a little surprised by the refinement. Not that it is a bad thing, but it seemed very quiet and didn't feel like it wanted to rip your head off. I ordered a '23 as this would be my daily, so that isn't the end of the world. Honestly, if the Laguna doesn't work out, it isn't the end of the world either. I'll be happy to get back into a Mustang either way.

My Genesis was hit by my boss' nephew back in July, and it has been in the shop since. I've been waiting to sell it so I could put the money towards the Mustang, but the part delays are killing me. My 23 gets built next week, so this should be interesting.

I have looked at that car online several times, and the page is bookmarked. It does look like it has seen some track use. Which isn't really a big concern for me. Question, is that a sound tube coming off the intake tube?

I had a GHIG Boss. Within 2 weeks I HATED the color. Looked at a SBY in person, and was turned off immediately.

Race red or Grabber Blue were the best.

I also test drove a SBY and did not care for that color in person. Grabber blue or white on a 2013 was my dream car at the time.

Boy did this thread take a turn. I love the refinements of the S550 but love my Boss and think I would regret selling it. There is no substituting the sound of a Boss with the track key enabled. I did install Borla Attak cat backs for that extra growl plus you don't see those ugly cans of the original mufflers. It also fills the rear valance openings better. I have to agree that SBY wasn't my first choice and GB was but good luck finding one. On a 12' I would say Kona. That color is stunning. The SBY has grown on me and guess if it was good enough for Parnelli well.............

Boss all day every day. When looking for a replacement for my 1SS 1LE, I was dead set on a 2013. My brother had one...incredibly light on its feet, fantastic turn in, and SOUNDS the business with track key + baffles removed. I loved the lack of electronics too, alcantara wheel and recaros were SO good. Wasn't worried about the roadrunner reliability and the high RPM lock out is solveable via aftermarket.

Well, I was fortunate to have a really good year at work (in software sales) so I started looking at GT350s. Turo'd one locally and bought one soon thereafter. The voodoo is absolutely intoxicating.

I am still lusting after a GHIG Boss 302. I didn't even consider the Mach 1. It just doesn't scream special to me, not particularly fond of it's looks either.

I understand the need for auto since you are getting older. If it is an absolute must, it's an easy choice for the Mach...but if you can still drive manual I would keep it. The 12/13 Boss 302 is a very special car in my opinion.

I’m going to say the 2012 Silver/Red will hit at least $75k minimum, due to it being the rarest color combo LS.

Beautiful car! It’s being auctioned for charity too, so it should bring in some big $$.
