Just fire up the Stang light under your side view mirror and put the call out....Im sure he'll show up and save you from yourself.
Me, the 12 actually looks like the 69 Boss it was intended to mimic. The 13 doesn't IMO. Also, track apps and Sync are pointless in a track car.
Easy fix. 170* thermostat and 302S grille. Two track events in the south and car ran just fine.
How simple is it to switch out the thermostat, doesn't reichards racing make one for the GT/Boss?
Dumb question...what is different about the 302S grille? The pics I've seen look just like the other Bosses... :shrug:
They have the faux fogs cut out, and then mesh is safety wired in, they also have less behind the pont emblem.
The Boss does not get "my color" or the pony image mirrors. Fog light caps just pop out with a small flat head.
The 13's mimic the '70 Boss......the now sunken in tail lights and the 2 led strips in the headlights to mimic the slots just outside of the headlight.....a la '70.

Also, track apps, while maybe not entirely useful on the track, does make for some good fun with the accelerometer, acceleration times, braking distance.....the different readings are cool too like a/f ratio, cyl. head temp and iat's.

Thats for the info SoCoMech.....so nice to actually get a real answer instead of a snide comment. Appreciate it.
My apologies for the snide remark. I wasn't aware you were asking about what the Boss didn't have/did have as opposed to complaining that it didn't have the little doodads.
No problem 86F....it takes alot to insult a super hero (Pony Man).
Just didnt see anything in the Owners manuel or in the Boss Supplement that told you what the Boss didnt have vs the normal Mustang or GT.
And didnt see that discussed any where to date. Your right, I wasn't complaining about it I was merely wondering what those diffs were since Ford has'nt seemed to outline that anywhere in their ownership materials....unless I missed it somewhere.
Maybe that would be a good question for a different thread?

It would be nice to have it outlined in a single thread. I know there have been tid bits here and there. I have heard the Boss has less sound deadening and missing some of the features like like HIDs, for the '12s.
The '13 Boss's stripes are reflective. I do not believe the '12's stripes are reflective. I had also read somewhere that the '13 Boss has slightly higher spring rates and stiffer suspension bushings. I could be wrong on those last two things though. I will have to see if I can find the article where those were mentioned.
I say you cannot go wrong with either the '12 or the '13 Boss. Both are awesome! The Sync system is nice in the '13 when you are cruising the streets and not racing. With a simple Thumb Drive plugged into the USB port it gives you voice access to your own music library...plus you can stream from Pandora or one of the other internet streaming radio apps.

Yeah, I guess it's ok for Ford to beat the BMW M3s. But beating SCCA GM cars, nope. Can't have that! Someone high up at SCCA is a GM fan.

I know this is an OLD thread, but I was researching the differences of the 12-13 B302's, this thread was very helpful, as was this article (thought might help someone in the future)
