My 2012 Boss weighed 3600# with 1/4 tank bone stock no driver. I hope it isn,t like the new C7 when it is actually scaled by the Mags. I have sneaking feeling that the 200#'s lighter is going to be the 4 cyl version not the V8 GT.

the new suspension and IRS are going to need some serious real world miles to determine if this paltform is a winner or not…
Going to be interesting to see if they offer a Shelby version with a 5.8L 4 cam. (or bigger).
Would also like to see a lightweight high output normally aspirated 5.0L stripper version.
The camaro will have some newfound competiton.
Not sure what ever happened to the Challenger? lol

the interior looks like it is made from recycled Lego's. My first car was a 1965 Mustang 289. Was a blast and hope to get a Mustang again someday. Like the outside but will stick with the German for a while yet.

Tal,
Transmission is not the problem. It is the crappy stock clutch not fully disengaging when it gets hot. The answer for me was the Mcleod RXT dual disc clutch. Felt like OEM after break in and cured the shifting problems.
Now if they use the same crappy clutch in the new car shame on Ford.

Maybe with this gen they'll bring back the Mach 1. Beef up that Boss motor a bit more, make it somewhere close to 3,100 lbs and we'd have a fantastic RWD, IRS, NA, V8 MT beast!
I doubt any of this will happen, though. They did a great job with the Boss/Laguna Seca's so hopefully something special will happen with this generation.

I like it, i'll definitely be watching what special editions they bring out. Rumours around about a 600hp twinturbo Shelby GT350 and the Mach 1.
I've got the Boss302 Laguna Seca now it's nuts I love it.
