sgt1020 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Just wanted to see what some of you guys would choose. I love my SGT and refuse to trade it for anything. But would some of you guys prefer the new 2011 Boss 302 over your SGT? The new Boss is a limited production car just like ours. Except ours were a pre titled program. I'm installing a non intercooled FR whipple supercharger in the spring. With a 3.75" pulley and 93 octane should give me around 400rwhp. I'll be a tad quicker than the new 5.0. Although I have to admit, that 412 N/A hp from the new 5.0 is impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmor Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I wouldn't trade my Shelby GT for a Boss 302. However, If I didn't own either, and someone put both of them in front of me and said "Take you pick, one or the other, free of charge" I would take the Boss 302.

William Rodgers Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I agree with ilmor, I would not trade my Shelby GT/SC for a Boss, would not trade it for a GT500 either, but the SVT has tempted me. If I were starting all over again today and the Boss and Shelby GT were in front of me I would pick the Boss based on the 5.0 and the updated interior. Now if they made an updated Shelby GT with the New Mustang then I would have to see both. I would have a very difficult time picking a New Mustang based on all the options these days, the Boss 302 would be one of my top choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07SGT4578 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 SGT for me, no questions asked. IMO, the SGT is the sexiest mustang I have ever seen. No matter what I do, I cannot get myself to like the two tone paint job on the Boss. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDT Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Looks definitely go to the SGT........... Performance goes to the Boss......... Of course you cannot do anything with the Fugly Rear End on the Boss so just modify the SGT to outperform and there you go.........................

sgt1020 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 What about a Supercharged SGT as apposed to the Boss 302? I'd take the SGT/SC for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Like everyone I like the engine but I wouldn't be caught dead driving that car! I'm completely serious! I got two complements today on my SGT. One a guy at a Walmart store parking lot that got into a Lexus and the other by a woman later in the day at the gas station. The Boss I suspect will get giggles and finger pointing. Sorry but to me the Emperor has no clothes...it's one BUTT UGLY car and I'll say again I HAVE ZERO interest in it. ZERO!

And even though I've heard so many accolades about the interior, I really like mine better. Those two horizontal vents in the middle of the new dash just bug me, for some reason. And the only car that looks OK from the rear is the GT350, its rear fascia softens up that new taillight area and makes it acceptable to me. No concrete reasons, just aesthetics. Oh, and, of course... "pre-title". I like that, too. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt1020 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I get compliments on my SGT all the time. Infact, my SGT gets more compliments than my dads KR. I love the SGT, ESPECIALLY in white. No offense black/blue/grabber SGT guys but they don't call us "performance white" for nothin'! :shades: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercharge it to make it faster and then laugh when someone in a boss is looking at your sexy ass instead of the ugly butt on the Boss. Can't stand the Boss paint schemes either.

twitch43 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I'd buy the regular Mustang GT before the 302 and I'm going to hang on to my SGT for as long as I can. I still get compliments on my SGT, heck one guy even followed me into a parking lot just so he could get a better look at her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07CSM0260 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I've been going over this for since they posted about the Boss 302. The LS is limited, but Ford will build as many of the base 302's as they can sell. I like the looks of the SGT convertible and there aren't that many out there. I had this decision as well when I was deciding which to sell, the 40th Anniversary GT500 or the SGT convertible. I've about concluded SGT/SC with gears is the way to go, and possibly Griggs setup.

CASEY HILL 14998 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I was around when the Shelby and Boss came out. The Boss back then was just seen as a muscle car - no one stared at it except gear heads - I saw them cruising on friday nights all the time. On the other hand, I never saw a Shelby as a kid. It was folklore to me. When I did see my first Shelby (especially the '68) I was in a trance. It had a cool look, a cool heritage name and you knew something unique was under the hood. So Shelby means something different to me than Boss. Boss is a muscle car. Shelby is, well, a Shelby - something rare and unique. I would keep my Shelby even if someone offered me the Boss for free....no kidding. HP isnt everything - some BMW's crank out 600 HP. Its about the car. For me Shelby wins.
