This sounds like a U.S thing. We have not recieved any bulletins regarding these cars. Normally what happens in Canada is almost every dealer gets one and then the rest get divided between bigger dealers that sell more Mustangs. This is the way they did it with the Bullitts, Mach 1, early Harley F150, Marauder, Thunderbird, Foose truck, etc. I'm sure there still will be big dealer mark ups though.

Yes there are few of us that play by the rules. I just decided on a used GT500 instead.

The car will never hit the track anyway so your probably right. Supercharged 5.4 should have a little more fun factor than an n/a 5.0. Especially with a few mods thrown at it. I'll know monday but I'm pretty sure I've got myself an 07 Red w/ white stripe coupe.

Yea I read that and just shook my head. Yet ANOTHER Mustang the average guy CAN'T afford. Mustang is supposed to be BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!! You know what the Laguna Seca Edition Boss 302 should be .... a race ready Boss 302. Forgo the leather seats, the air conditioning, the back seats, even the radio for all I care. The Laguna Seca Edition Boss 302 should be a cheap, high power, muscle car available to the average guy at an awesome price. A stripped down race car available to the public - ready for the street or the strip. I'd buy one in a heartbeat!
Isn't the Laguna Seca Boss 302 as close to a race ready production car anywhere, except maybe a Porsche GT2 RS? With no back seat, front brake air ducts, no cheesy 'fog' lights in the upper grill, etc., what more do you want?

I’am really new here ,, maybe should keep my mouth shut, lol ,, but here is my 2 cents worth ,, praise to those white collar dudes with the big bank rolls that can afford the new limited edition pony cars ,, the majority of them have spent their lives with their face stuffed in a book and will have no clue as to what they really have or how to love and care for it as the majority of us here do. I at one time or other have wrenched each and every nut and bolt as well as painted and installed a new top on my (simple yet beautiful to me) V6 convertible Mustang. As most Mustang owners will tell you ( I am sure most will agree) owning a Mustang , any Mustang as far as that goes, is part of a culture that only a true mustang owner would know or feel , its not just a car , it’s a brotherhood of proud owners. How many times have any of you had other mustang owners give you that wave. You know, that wave the bikers give each other ,, I have not seen this with any other car but a Mustang. Even when I drive my pony from Ontario down to south beach Miami you still get the odd wave here and there. In my opinion Ford designs and produces theses special limited edition pony cars so that the Bill Gates of this world can buy them and feel like they are the dominators of the Mustang world , but in all actual fact they don’t have “IT”. big money can buy you the hottest top bikini model but is there any love there ( ya I know who cares lol) or is it just another trophy. ,anyhow sorry for the book lol ,, that’s my 2 cents worth on this topic.
