Last years winner was an Aston Martin. Nice.

Niice! A sweet machine for sure.

Love this car...just not the paint scheme on car and wheels. Monocolor for me w/black wheels and fatter rear tires (but not too fat).

Yeah the paint schemes could be a bit much. When I ordered mine the official colour choices weren't out so going off the PR event I picked the subtle (ha!) blue and white over the silver and red. In retrospect I would have gone for white with black stripes or competition orange with white as it reminds me of a '69 Cougar Eliminator. No doubt this years colours are better but I always preferred the '69 "C" stripe to the "70" hockey stick. Still I am trying to add a 2013 Boss to the stable in either School Bus Yellow or the actually quite classy black with charcoal grey stripes.

Like my hockey stick!

It's not that I don't like the hockey stick, it's that I prefer the rarity of the "C" stripe. your car looks great.. Especially the colour.

I know you're happy about this, Fender.

Saw a few of these in person for the first time at a cruise today. Cooler looking that I expected, sounded better than I thought they would too.

Always feels good to know your money was well spent.

Amazing looking rims on that car.

The Boss LS is a great car. Let's see what they say next year about the '13s.

No real improvement except better cooling and a higher top end. Both the ZL1 and GT500 have taken the mantle from this point.

I guess I didn't make myself clear - I wasn't referring to the '13 Boss LS - I was referring to what Robb Report would give best coupe/GT award in 2013 -- Most likely either the '13 GT500 or '13 ZL1 ....
