very impressed for the price. you really shouldn't talk down about a BOSS

meh - if you use it as a DD, it means you gotta drive around in an ugly car.
Never understood what people saw in 'stangs....

You may not like the car, but let's be real. . . the boss will eat any currently produced camaro for lunch and that's a fact. Nothing to be pissed about, Chevy doesn't make a competitor for it yet. If they make a z28, then there will be some real competition for it, but right now the boss is in a class all it's own. I personally don't like the stripe packages, they look tacky in anything but gray on a black car imo, but the car is an all around bad ass performer.

i dont see how people think the z28 is going to be the big dog when it never was...the SS was always the top end or the IROC in the 3rd gens and z28 was the middle man and i would assume it would be again if they make one.

Gotta love the Ford PR people on this site.

Nice sounding exhaust - that's how my V8 SS/RS should sound coming from Oshawa (IMO)... But, it's just not for me. I feel cramped in a Mustang (I'm almost 6'1") and the color scheme on this one is just plain aweful.

And "eat a Camaro". Pleaz, whatev. Maybe for now, but look out - the ZL1 is coming...

When were you born 1985? The Z28 was the big dog from 67 to 71. After that no Camaro was a big dog because chevy engineers hadn't figured out how to work with the new smog regulations. The 78 and 79 Z28's I had were nothing more than decals, scoops, spoilers and fat sway bars--no power and only slightly better handling. I stopped caring about the Camaro until the SS came out in the early 2000's.

Currently the SS is the Big Dog of Camaros, when the ZL1 and Z28 come out we'll be # 3 on the list, but that's a pretty good list to be on.

awesome car, I may order a 2013 with the 70`s style stripes. I love the competition orange with black but the white looks reminds me of a creamsicle Popsicle

Yeah its finally coming to compete against the Shelby GT500 but there is still no competition for the Boss 302 in question.

Maybe one day Chevy will put a Z/28 into production and give us what we have all been asking for the past 5 years, but I dont see that happening for at least 1-2 years following when ever the next gen Camaro comes out.

Love the looks of the new boss and Ford did it right!! I think they look much better in person as well!

20Camaro11 · 07-13-2011, 08:03 PM

Like what Ford is doing, but some of their dealers are crooks. Here in CBus, Ricart Ford is advertising two Boss 302's at like $51k and and $58K which seems like a rather high markup...

Newsflash... some Chevrolet dealers are crooks too...Its simple supply/demand. If someone will pay what they ask, why not ask? If no one will pay it, the price will go down.

I'm not a Ford fan, but do gotta admit they have their sh*t together with their Mustang program.

This dealer is notorious for that kind of stuff, I know Chevy has their share too...it is what it is. Buyer beware as always...

I'd trade my Camaro for the Boss in a heart beat!
