See following link. Mark Fields states that short Boss run (2012/2013) was always the plan to "preserve the value of those vehicles."

The enthusiast in me just wants my freaking clutch to work and my car to stop throwing codes... :'(askjeffro said:The owner in me appreciates the collectability aspect, but the competitor in me wants Ford to answer Chevy's challenge sooner than later. Would really like to see a track version of the mustang continue to evolve, even if its not called BOSS.

I'm just venting. I just got back from a track day and my clutch would stick to the floor on every shift. So I drove all day in 4th gear. Last last Nov my dealer pulled my tranny and clutch but didn't find anything wrong. This was my first track day since then and it's worse.askjeffro said:I've been away from the forums for a bit. Didn't realize you were having so many issues, sorry to hear that. Any sense of what is driving the problems?

LOL I wish. So we don't get too far off topic...four-walling said:If Ford Corporate has any common sense, someone from there should send you a PM, and damn soon, and get your issue resolved quickly.
Can you say VIP?

Use the clutch.Bad Pony said:NFSBoss. . . ummm. . . clutch problems and codes? Yikes! Am I nervous reading that having just written a cheque for a new '13 and eagerly awaiting delivery? I guess this is the part where I just go all "hey, it's no big deal" and cross my fingers.
Having said that, I have a question about using the clutch while tracking the car. Back in another century when I was younger and had exactly 100% fewer children than I do today and could engage in such wondrous foolishness, I was taught to drive formula cars without using the clutch, at least whenever out at racing speed. Can't say I was always successful with downshifts, but upshifts were never a problem (while downshifts were an art I never mastered 100% reliably). I seem to recall we did this because the cars had no synchomesh, and the clutch would never survive a race's worth of up and down shifts.
Now, fast-forwarding to today, I'm curious to know: should I clutch when shifting the Boss on the track? Is it bad not to use the clutch? Is it good? I suspect this falls into the category of really dumb questions, but asking them is my one special talent.
