At least they got the Boss in this gen' for a while. We never got a Z28 for gen 5.

They are just scared of the 1LE so they decided to stop making the boss lol. That's a shame I liked the boss and at one time I even considered getting one.

The Boss is in a harder spot than the 1LE as well because of its price point. It's an amazing car, but its a different trim level, and the price reflects it. The 1LE is just a 3500 add-on to the SS trim level. I know two friends who have GT500s, and when I asked why not the Boss, they said it was a kind of "go big or go home" mentality. If you're going to get a really expensive Mustang, get the top one. Not my attitude at all, but I respect their choice.

That being said, I would love to have a Boss with the Laguna Seca package. The option for Recaro seats straight from the factory also is something I like about the Mustangs. Gotta give respect to the Boss, and like midnighter said, at least it made an appearance for this gen Mustang.

Ford originally stated the boss was set for a 2 year production run, same as the original boss 302

another special edition will take its place, possibly the Mach 1

Alright I didn't know that and Cool Mach 1

Not really ground breaking the Boss was going to be a limited production car to begin with if I remember correctly. Plus it's limited market so when sales drop off so will production.

I really like the car and would not be surprised to see it again after the new platform.

I thought this was the plan? Boss to be a two-year fun-run?

GrabberB5.Slow · 11-08-2012, 07:16 PM

IMO I'm glad they stopped production of the Boss 302. Having only 2 model years, both of which a different body style, makes owning a Boss that much more special and awesome.

TheReaper · 11-08-2012, 07:18 PM

Maybe the Boss 351 or the Mach 1 will be next.

It was. I like that kind of approach.

I wasn't even all that impressed with the BOSS, it was however, pretty cool to see them bringing back a classic, I feel that there will be a Z28 for Chevy to continue answering the oldschool remakes.

So GM missed the boat with the whole BOSS 302 Z/28 show down...
