I really enjoy trips to the dragstrip but wouldn't mind giving a track such as VIR a try. I keep coming back to the Boss Mustang as the car that would offer the best balance for the strip/track and street performance.
I have a chance to purchase a like new race red boss in perfect condition and low mileage for mid 30s, as these cars seem to be holding their value very well I am tempted.

Great car! I bought mine new in 5/2012 (also race red w/ recaros & torsen diff) although I just got rid of it a few months ago (it's now in Sweden) but with that said I often miss mine at the present time! Go figure.
The Boss is old-school raw and so fun to drive even with its SRA. The exhaust sound with the side baffle plates removed is intoxicating music. And it loves to rev! There are other faster cars out there but for strip/track AND the nonstop enjoyment to drive- the Boss still ranks up there with the best of them. I can't say it enough, what a fun car to drive particularly due to the engine and the lighter weight compared to 5th gen Camaros.
That's also a good deal that you found... low miles in the mid-30s is fair since as you know these are holding values and/or depreciating minimally. As stated, the achilles heal is the MT-82 trans but it's hit or miss so to speak... didn't have probs with mine even during track or autox events. Good luck!
Anyway here's a teaser... my '12 on display at B-J before and two '13's I saw at a local car show and at Homestead Raceway...
