2013 Boss or 2014 Loaded-track/elect pack?

[768MPH]

Im in a position where Im able to purchase a 2013 BOSS or 2014 GT with track pack/recaro/nav for the same price?

BOSS is preowned and several choices of 2014 GT with those options available.

Is the Boss really "worth" having compared to the GT?

This will strictly be a DD/weekend "warrior" for me. I did a search and cant seem to find the exact thread with answers Im looking for. :shrug:

Thank you all for your input.

If I could do it again I would have gone BOSS. That way when I supercharge it down the road I won't need to worry about internals holding me back, just one less thing to worry about. Plus the cool factor.

You don't really need all the electronics they offer. Just for reference I have a 13 Premium with comfort package.

Get the Boss. It will holds it's value better as well as drive just a tad bit more fun. Plus it's nostalgia. People will recognize a Boss over a GT.

Boss has a better motor

They both have different power bands. Boss will be worth more later down the road since its a two year run

I suppose it depends on what your intention is for the car? I love my options, glass roof, leather Recaros, but with my power adder(s), I want to upgrade the internals. If you're not planning on doing that than a GT is plenty, but if you are then the Boss is the way to go. Not to mention what others have said about it being a two year run and more nostalgic.

Boss. I bought brand new 2013 GT and within a year I was in a Boss. Like stated before, better motor, limited production, better value down the road.

Boss as much as it pains me to say. But there is nothing wrong with the GT track pack with recaros and whatnot. You are in a win-win situation.

If you aren't using it everyday, why buy the everyday amenities?

I wish I bought a Boss though, just for the internals. I DD my car and I would have still gotten the boss. Or a black Laguna seca haha $$$

 

[dirtyd88]

If I could have afford the extra $250/month, I would have gotten a 2013 SBY Leguna Seca.

This is will be my everyday DD.

I like the boss due to the basic inside for which I can add my own stereo/system Upgrades (sound deaden) etc
Built great all around mechanically. Will I go boost in future? No, most likely not.

The GT has everything already and I can get the color I want.

I don't like to blend in but don't like to stand out either. Of that makes sense
I wish they made the Boss in black besides the LS version.
Can't justify spending $50K on a "base" Mustang. IMO

Also, can't a GT with basic bolt ons/tune and springs "out perform" the boss?

Not trying to start a debate, just from the research I've been doing lately.

I've been out of the Mustang world since my 03 Mach 1 and when the Terminators were ruling the streets.

Boss... better motor, better suspension, better future value, better wow factor.

 

[dirtyd88]

I personally would try and find a SBY Boss 302, non-LS model. That color isn't available on the GTs, but it also doesn't stand out like GHIG does.

Yes, but a basic bolt-on Boss will be faster than a basic bolt-on GT. :rolling:

Well played Sir.

Boss, used c6z or wait until the 2015s are out.

I was in the exact same situation as you last month, right down to how often I planned on driving the car. I ended up with a 2013 Boss and wouldn't change a thing.

One thing to consider - that 2014 GT will likely be worth less than the Boss as soon as you drive it off the lot.

Yes, my neighbor ran his Boss and my GT with suspension upgrades at Road America and he posted .3 sec faster laptime in my GT. He used Harrys Laptimer for telemetry and you can see that my GT was faster in the corner and had higher exit speed. The Boss caught up on the long three straights except it lost some ground on the uphill going into the front straight probably due to lower torque. So based on bang for your buck I would agree but based on coolness factor I say the Boss nails it. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

True but a Basic bolt on GT is much cheaper then a basic bolt on Boss:burnout: Comes down to bang for buck.

I think it depends on what you want to do and how much each is. If I could do it over again I would get a GT and with the money I saved make the GT much faster around a track than a Boss. The Boss is lighter and does have a better motor but I wouldn't say it is better by the price you pay, you can always buy better forged internals.
