  1. "Garage King" 2013 Boss 302 Past and Future

    I recently realized that the 10th Anniversary of picking up our 2013 Boss 302 is just a few weeks away. It is hard to believe it has been 10 years. I joined this site when it was "Boss Mustangs Online" and most of the discussion was just around various Boss 302 topics, and not as much track...
  2. Mustang Inspired EV

    I would buy an AWD EV with the performance of a Tesla Model X if it had 300 mi range and was less than $50k. I live in CO, and 300 mi range on a winter's day on I-70 through the mountains really translates into 200 mi. If I can't go skiing and get back home without range anxiety, it isn't an...
  3. Original Owner 2012 BOSS FS on BAT - CHEAP

    https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2016-elan-np01/The bidding ended at $52K with Reserve Not Met, so I wonder what it would take to get one of these? You can buy a new one for ~$80K.I have been told the cheap route is to find a well sorted stock car with no engine, and put a mild-LS in it.
  4. (F)ord stockholders/investors

    Ford is not the only manufacturer hurting right now. Volkswagen is *really* hurting both because of their diesel debacle and because of their skew toward cars rather than trucks/SUVs.VW are offering absolutely insane incentives on some cars right now. When you have to lay $6000 on the hood...
  5. Ranger Raptor?

    I recently bought a 2017 F150 4x4 extended cab with the 5.0L. The truck is just too damn big. Period. The F150 with the 5.0L is a monster tow rig, but other than that, every time I get in it i wish it were 20% smaller.Unfortunately, I need to tow a trailer and the smaller trucks wouldn't...
  6. FS: New GT350R in Chesapeake, VA

    Just sayin'2018 Camaro ZL1-1LE. $70K.And the GT350R time at Nurburgring is: ?????I suspect a good driver in a 2018 Mustang GT will give a GT350R fits. 2018 GT will out run a Boss or Boss LS, for sure.Time moves on.
  7. (F)ord stockholders/investors

    F is languishing because so far they have missed the boat on both pure electrics and self-driving hoo-ha. No, the CMax and Focus EV don't count.Too many of Ford's eggs are in the truck basket right now. If something happens and oil jumps, truck/SUV revenue will crater and Ford will dive...
  8. Buy a Raptor or build up an F-150?

    Buy a Raptor vs. build an F150 is very similar to buy a Rubicon vs. build a standard Wrangler. A Rubicon seems overpriced until you start pricing out aftermarket lockers, 4:1 transfer cases, electronic swaybar disconnects, Dana 44's, lower differential gears, etc. I know a lot of people who...
  9. (F)ord stockholders/investors

    Ford hit a five year low yesterday at 10.91. Their profits still seem to be able to easily pay the 5%+ dividend, so it is just market paranoia, IMHO.Might be time to hop in again. I've been in and out of F several times since this thread started, and I've always made money. Hard to go wrong...
  10. I've noticed some dealers don't seem to know about the LS model...

    Just for grins I looked at autotrader.com the other day. I saw two LS models at dealers that look too good to be true. One a Black/Red 2012 with 8000 miles for $36K, and the other a SBY 2013 with 5800 miles for $38K.Of course, maybe there are title issues or accidents or whatever, but...
  11. GT350 true performances

    A 911 Carrera S is $140K if you get performance options.What you should really be sad about is that a Camaro ZL1 at $62K will beat a GT350R lap time on almost any track and annihilate it on a drag strip, and a Corvette Grand Sport which can be had for $60K...
  12. 2018 Mustang Updates

    The GM competitor to a GT/PP2 would be the Camaro 1SS/1LE, which comes standard with MagnaRide, 6-piston front/4-piston rear Brembos, leather trimmed Recaros, Tremec 6-speed with improved short throw shifter, electronic differential, very large forged wheels and Goodyear Supercar tires, heads up...
  13. 2018 Mustang Updates

    Looking at the dash, which does look cool, I noticed the redline is 7500RPM. Is that the redline of the current 5.0, the Ecoboost, or is this an improvement?Also, I didn't see anyone mention that Ford is killing the V6, too. I a little confused about this, marketing wise, since Chevy not...
  14. 2018 Mustang Updates

    Seriously, I thought they had said that all along, too.Six years newer engineering, I would hope they can finally eclipse the Boss. I'm guessing a new GT with all the equipment to beat a '12-'13 Boss will also sticker for more than a '12-'13 Boss, too.The new front end is a downgrade...
  15. Sold: 2013 Grabber Blue Boss 302 Modified (Southern California)

    Re: 2013 Grabber Blue Boss 302 Modified (Southern California)I'm not usually all that into modded Boss 302's, but this car looks fantastic.Are the stock pieces included?
