I am tyring to make up my mind which one i want. I love the Shelby's power,and look,but the '13 Boss is awesome as well with its track key and track apps.Will a GHIG Boss be worth more in the future?:shrug:

If it was me I'd buy the Boss in GHIG and put a Hellion kit on it. Lookup Blow By Racings Boss

isnt a boss just a 5.0 w/intake/exhaust + suspension?

Either way, GT500, if I wanted a track car with superb handling it wouldn't be a mustang!

I test drove a 2012 GT500 and a 2013 Boss and ended up with a 2013 GT500. Boss would have been my original choice if the car had interior upgrade options.

GT500's get a lot of attention though if you are into that.

Why?

Do you have something against a great handling Mustang that will out lap most other cars that you can buy today?

I wouldn't really worry about how much the car will be worth in the future. Here are my thoughts. I will keep it simple.
DD and comfort ride with tons and tons of power-gt500
Track car and owning "history"- Boss 302

Boss ... It handles and is better balanced if it doesn't have enough power you can always add force induction since it has forged internals

I haven't driven either but by the looks of it I'd take a '12 GT500, but that is definitely a hard choice. Very hard for sure. Choose wisely OP.

I would get a 2012 gt500 over s new boss,y dad just picked one up with the SVTPP and 8500 miles for 42k, pretty damned competitive price wise with a Boss. Also I haven't heard of a single issue with the TR-6060 trans, can't say that about the MT-82.

For that $, I'd take a CTS-V or a C6Z. Would not drop that coin on a Mustang with the other available options.
