holdenls1ssz January 25, 2012 at 11:43 pm

MrJeg16 January 26, 2012 at 12:04 am

12.3 that’s like as fast as? the 2011 cobra.

horsepower determines about 1/4 of a cars performance other 3/4 are lateral grip for tight? corners, torque for better zero to 60 times and last but not least the weight of the car. mustang gt’s have less hp than a bmw m3 or a c class amg but they weigh significantly less

@fastaslightning1 better yet why dont he compare it to the old 1969 boss 429? o.O

ladiezman914 January 26, 2012 at 1:18 am

If 302 means 302 cubic inches, then the? “5.0″ is actually 4.9 liters.

A Legend.?

I don’t know? if I can save ~$70,000 in two years though? Wish Ford would hire me to test drive the car all day long :)

CENTURIONGRAFIX January 26, 2012 at 3:35 am

NOT TO MENTION IN 2013 THIS PLATFORM WILL ROCK!? w/ INTERIOR CROSS-BRACING & SYNC’d iPAD/iPHONE bluetooth ‘Electronix package’ to include an ACCELEROMETER (HP/Torque, 1/4 mi. & 0-60 on-board computer) & LAUNCH CONTROL (wired in thru the cruise control steering wheel buttons) OPTIONS! MOST IMPORTANTLY to me, …the BAD ASS RECARO SEATS – FITS LIKE A cloth GLOVE [leather avail. in 2013 Shelby "650"GT].

CENTURIONGRAFIX January 26, 2012 at 4:14 am

“Best Mustang yet’ …NO DOUBT! I love the supercharger on the 2013 Shelby BUT GOOD ENGINE FACTS ON THE BOSS – Naturally aspirated 440+hp cam & head/port work [shows FORD can still make? a strong, powerful engine and not just by bolting on a blower] I am a new BOSS lover – TRACK-PACK {handling orientated} big brakes w/ cooling ducts, fog light delete, splitter, cold-air intake, classic retro reflective stripe package, etc….

I’m not a Ford guy, but they’ve been putting out some serious cars the past few? years…

@pedro125252 so what do you think the boss would do? with a twin turbo on it?

xxMIK1989xx January 26, 2012 at 6:21 am

The car is nice, but what’s up with the? fog light cut outs?

morecowbell69 January 26, 2012 at 6:21 am

Pedro…..You’re comparing a $175,000 Twin Turbo Spirra? to a $44,000 Mustang? You don’t seem to have a good grasp on cost.

morecowbell69 January 26, 2012 at 6:42 am

The car wad named “Boss” ad a tribute to the head Ford in 1969. Rather than give it the guys last name, like? Shelby, the just called it “The Boss”.

StikManJones January 26, 2012 at 7:32 am

leave it to the americans to name a car “boss”. ?

pedro125252 January 26, 2012 at 7:40 am

@dilawer321 hahahah sure go drive a honda civic then…? Best cars made in Japan? Toyta fiasco? Europe? Yugo? America bankrupted crap? :D
