BOSS 302 OWNER AGE??POLL

[Justin]

Bill Pemberton, You are right about Comp Orange, It was the most chosen color for the 2012 Boss 302 Model year. That says it all..............

I was looking to get a Comp Orange when I went to go buy but the dealer couldnt get any transfered there for a decent price. so I went with white. I will say white is a pain to keep clean almost as much as black

Newbie here on this site. I am 62 and have owned a 1970 Boss 302 for three years during which time I haven't aged a bit. A month ago, I made a deposit on a 2013 Boss 302, which I hope will arrive sometime in June. As one fellow on the boss302.com site put it - Sometimes the best of both worlds is both worlds.

If with 1 Boss you didn't age, maybe with 2 Boss' you might get younger.

Let us know.

Funny, I consider white the easiest to clean because you don't have to worry as much about spots. Though the white Ford used shows more dirt than any other white car I have had. Maybe because it isn't as shiny.

I had a white RX7 turboII years ago and it to showed dirt very easy. I will say that white doesnt show swirls and water marks like black does but still gets dirty pretty quick. my silver 06 had to be really dirty till it was noticeable lol

 

[CaliMR]

Yeah but they wouldn't sell me a silver one for MSRP ;D

I'm 36... I've always had mustangs a lot of different ones. Right now I have 3 of them... 2012 PW Boss #2013, 2003 Cobra and a 1965 Fastback making it into a clone R-code GT350. ;D

35 here, and was a Chevy man for 10-12 years after having a old Ford Escort and Ford Ranger as my first vehicles. But I couldn't wait for the new Camaro's to show up, so I bought a used 2006 V6 and did about 15K worth of mods to it and it looks completely different than a base model now... So then I was hooked., Have wanted a BOSS since they announced the return in 2011. Couldn't swing it last year, but this year things are looking better, and I have saved up a nice Down Payment, so as soon as I find one in the area (if the one the dealer has coming doesn't get here soon), I am getting one. 2013 Race Red, with Recaro's.

For the second time in my life I am completely DEBT FREE (minus monthly living expenses of course), so now is the best time to get one in my opinion, of course my GF disagrees very strongly about it, but I bought a 2009 Mazda 6 ($35K Car) and she drives it everyday, so its time for me to have a new car I think, even though my 06 only has 48K miles on it, so its practically still new.

It will more than likely be my last mustang I over own, (unless I get a used one down the road). Tried like hell to get a 66 Mustang hardtop, but I am 6'3" and just cannot fit in the thing, I would have to heavily modify the seat pan and rails and I just can't bring myself to do that to a classic car. So instead I am betting the money and the farm somewhat on the 2013 BOSS.

I have only allotted about $2,500 for mods (I am not going to go nuts like did on my 06), but besides the Track Key and maybe the rear window shades it will more than likely remain stock. That is what I love about the BOSS (besides the heritage), you don't have to do anything to it, its ready and track ready if needed without any mods (besides TrackKey of course).

May have to shack up with another BOSS owner after I get it if the GF kicks me out LOL, but hey, you get one shot at life, and I have all intentions of living it to the best of my ability.

sounds good man. I would look into getting a MGW shifter as your first mod.

Let's not start the fastest color thing again. It is well known that the white ones are the fastest, because they were so fast that the colors couldn't stick.

Preach it, brother!

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Okay , let's stop the silly, fastest color subject I accidentally started and ........show up with your Boss in late September at Motorsports Park Hastings and we will see what color is fastest!!!

Mustang/Ford Roundup

I will be there for the old farts in an Orange beast, and Gary will be there representing the young studs in a Comp. Orange Stang. Bring it on whiteys!!!

 

[bossroadrunner]

I'm gonna be 48 years old, so I guess I'm in the biggest group

 

[TheMarco]

Looks like the average age really is around the 51 Ford was claiming.

 

[snowboss]

I'm not as old as Parnelli Jones, I don't have as much track time either. Having some success in SCCA racing and still have a need for speed at 64. It's not possessing a BOSS 302 that is important, it's the passion to drive it to the limit, thats freakin important.

 

[302BOB]

Having a Boss certainly helps the cause....................

 

[aircare84]

54 here, old enough to have owned some early Mustangs & young enough to enjoy this one ;D
This is my 5th Mustang, had the luck to have a Grabber Blue 70 Boss years ago.

But not the sense to keep it? ???

 

[hotstart302]

65 here, with a lot of aches and pains. Except when I'm sitting in the left recaro!

 

[youngBoss]

I'm one of the younger guys, I was 23 when I ordered my 13' SBY...it's ETA was my 24th Birthday but it was in the black hole aka Ramp 51. My uncle bought a new Compeition Orange 1970 Boss 302 when he returned home from Vietnam and drag raced it throughout the 1970's is SS/J. So you can say the Boss is in my blood...

 

[Dvendet]

OK - I caved in and participated in this poll. Thanks to Bill Pemberton, who twisted my arm, there is one additional vote for a hhhhmmmm..hhhhmmmmm.... a 52+ youngster.
