Need Everybody's Opinion Please.
Ok, I have an oppurtunity to trade my GT for a 2012 Boss 302 with less than 400 kms on it, and I would love to own, what I think will be an iconic piece of Muscle Car history, but then again I will be giving up some comfort features that I'm not sure I want to part with. The thing is I am definitely not going to be taking the car to the track anytime soon, but it's appealing to me have a car that is numbered, and possibly very collectable. On the other hand it's going to cost me about $13,500 difference to make the trade and knowing that if I stuck half of that into my GT I would have a far better car, and not lose any features! Sooooo, my question to all of you is.....Should I trade my '12 GT for the '12 Boss 302, or should I stick with what I have? Here's pics of the actual car, and my car, for comparison purposes.

It's really up to you. I know what the answer would be for me. No way, i rather build my own car.
I think the 2012 Boss 302 is a sick car, but i myself am happy with what i got.... a car that owes me nothing, and is mine. That my friend you can't put a price tag on. LOL!

Trade up dude, don't get hung up on any kind of emotional attachment to a car fer god's sake, that's just ridiculous. There's a million GT's out there, and you can get one any day of the week, and they're all the same as yours. The Boss is only going to be around for so long, obviously you're interested, otherwise you wouldn't be posting this. I'll bet six months after driving the Boss you won't even remember about what you lost on the GT - and if you do, you won't care every time you open up that exhaust and let it rip. If you sunk all that money into the GT, it would still be just a GT, and probably not worth much more than if you left it stock. Go for it dude, you could die tomorrow. I'd drop a GT for a Boss in no time, with no tears, and no looking back. Good luck, keep the updates coming.

Well I've struggled with this decision, and I really appreciate everybody's input, and advice. I guess there's always going to be Pros and Cons to every car comparison, Soooo here's my new car!

^^ Yeah right! Not in this lifetime. I actually decided to stick with my GT. It's not that I'm emotionally attached to it (that much), but honestly, I'm not ready to part with it. Maybe in a couple years, if I'm real lucky I will be able to find a nice used '13 Grabber Blue GT500....Then I'll be ready!
