2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 and Laguna Seca - First Drive - Automobile Magazine

Does anyone on here have connections at a Ford dealer that could help me get one?!? My local dealer wants $5K over MSRP.

It's beautiful. I'm a huge mustang fan. There's a guy that lives in my apartment complex w/ an 03-04 SVT cobra. I touched it and felt incredibly special.

Does anyone have connections that could get me one for free? I have photography skills that I could barter in exchange, see my craigslist ad for more details...

Some companies have partnership programs with Ford.

Have you checked you and your spouse's companies?

On Edit: They are not showing it yet.

Top of the line '11 was about 2K off msrp.

Generally you save the most on high end trucks.

Sounds like you have a bad case of car fever! Good luck.

When I worked for Apple we got employing pricing from Ford. I don't know if that still goes on though

for most vehicles like this (if you are talking about the 302R race spec one), you have to show your racing credentials to get it. SCCA logbook or equivalent. as i recall, you have to also show that you have funds to actually race it. it has been a while since i was involved with the SCCA, but there was a cobra R that i believe fell into that category.

I have a 2003 SVT. It is still a blast to drive.

Scott, I wish they had a requirement like that! I'd go get my license. Instead they are mostly being claimed by collectors who will hardly drive them.

ummm, you don't just "go get" your SCCA road racing license. you have to log a lot of track hours and get signed off. good luck finding the stang though. think, you can take the money they want for a new one and go get a 1970 one. i'd prefer the 1970. go all out and get the 1970 boss 429.

Believe it or not, I am completely aware of that. My dad had an SCCA license.

As much as I like the 1969 Mach I or Boss 302, there is no comparison in performance. One day a 1969 Mach I will hopefully be mine though. Plus, have you seen the prices on ones in good shape?!? They are WAY more money for the Boss models. The 429 prices are well over $100K.

small world. SCCA racing is a blast but a black hole for $$$$.

i thought the 429 ones were closer to $250K. we can dream.

the new one can surely outperform the old boss 302, but i'd still rather be driving the old boss 302 with a hurst 4 speed and a 9" rear. one day, one day.........

No doubt there!

You are probably right. They are freakishly awesome though.

We've got an 03 SVT also. It only sees the sun on the weekends generally, since i daily drive the GT! Gah I love that cobra. i didn't think I'd ever have one. When the truck is paid off at the end of the year, an s197 is definitely going to be in the works tho!
