i would've taken ya up on that if i could have.......i just wanted to maximize the time i had with my family.

 is it a laguna seca you're looking at or standard boss? the ls is CRAZY. also....are you getting the track key?

Straight Boss. I find the need to actually bring people along occasionally and I need/use the back seat. That's why I don't have a 10 year old Z06 like my coworker just bought for <1/3 the price.

Of course I'll have a track key. Part of the owners package for boss owners is actually a free driving school out at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.  $1200 to being a buddy who gets a track day in a 5.0 GT

That should read *bring* a buddy. Not being a buddy.

Look up Boss Track Attack.

 i almost hate to do this....but seeing as the zl1 was brought up..........

 has anyone else heard the rumors of the gt500 lapping nurburgring in 7:30's? i've found it in a couple different places, but nothing official from ford yet......but still.....if it did..... :devil :devil  that'd be a kick in the arse, wouldn't it?

 personally, i'd rather see these beasts tested on tracks they;re likely to race on....milleville, laguna, watkins glen, etc......

Parnelli Jones lapping it around Laguna Seca.

Flight17, I'll deliver my car to you next week if you want it. I'll even fill up the tank when I drop it off. Really, make me an offer :)

Stock everything except a Barton short throw shifter and bracket.  I'll include those at no extra charge ;)

 i honestly do not. i think that the guy that tarnished the thunderbird name with that pile of ugly should be locked in a room with no windows, and forced to listen to barry manilow for the rest of his life.

Cap,

Can you post pictures of the interior?

When I was looking for my new car several months ago, I drove several different cars, but the Fords were always a big let down on the interior. Even the higher end "luxury" models of the new cars just seemed, plastic and cheap.

My dad just went and bought a boss, dont have a clue what he spent, but he has a 67 fastback that needs a resto in his garage all original other than driverside wing window.  For the money he could have built the 67 to a kickass ride.
