[QUOTE="Osiris, post: 15923370, member: 6537"] The Boss didn't do as well as was hoped for a couple of reasons. Despite the fact that this car is probably the pinnacle of handling for SRA cars, the world had moved on, and the car wasn't as good as IRS cars in regards to ride quality vs performance, which is why the GT350 came around in the first place, it was Ford's second stab at an original mission that only the S550 platform was going to offer. Bringing back the GT350 did two things, one - Kept the Boss name valuable (you'll see years from now, values will come back) by not calling an all-around better car the same thing, and Ford got to charge more due to the name. The original Boss cars gained fame through racing. People like Bondurant, Hill and Parnelli Jones securing that car's status as one of the most coveted Mustangs in history. The new cars never gained that level of fame. Boss cars are still highly capable, and at their values now are extremely great cars to buy. They come with more trade offs though, like a de-contented interior that a lot of people just didn't want. Again, another lesson Ford learned and changed in the GT350 (this is why the tech model exists in the first place). [/QUOTE]
