go with the Boss 302. I like the look a lot better and it's much more rare than a Camaro.

I'd go with the Mustand for a few reasons. When I see a 302, I know it's a 302. All Camaros look the same same to me. Also, as impractical as these cars are, the Mustang is the most practical when you really look at it. Take a look at the trunk of a Camaro lol.


Also, why no Challenger? I personally think the Challenger is the nicest of all 3 lol.

If I were to get a challenger I would want to get a 392 or the scat pack and those are both slightly out of the current price range. Lol. The only issue I have with the boss. Is for the price I could buy a new 2015 GT with the PP. but a boss 302 is a boss 302. Will probably hold its value better.

I personally think that the 302's are going to drop in value. It's not just because of the fact they're just a re-branded 5.0L coyote, but it's because people who are in the Mustang market either want a fast car, or they want a nice car. A guy who just wants the nice car will get the base model V6. A guy who wants a fast car is going to go for the GT350 with the 5.2L. Yeah we're looking at 2012 vs 2016, however in 20 years they won't differ much in price so it really won't matter.

It's the same thing with my truck, there where 3 engine options. The 4.2L V6, the 4.6L V8, and the 5.4L V8. People who just need a truck and won't max it out will go for the 4.2L because it's cheap. The 4.6L is a tried and true motor, but people who need a truck to tow and haul are more than likely going to go for the 5.4L.

I see it this way. The 302 will drop value in a few years, but when they get to 30-40 years old they will rise. Its a special edition and will always be known as the BOSS. Many people will be sought after this when they are 60 and though it was cool when they were 15-16yrs old.

I don't know, it goes hand in hand. Although the 302 was "limited production", the 5.0L Coyote is pretty much the same and with some money and parts it can be the same. The same thing happened in 2012-13 with the 302's as it did with the 302's in '69 and '70. There was the boss 302 which was a good car, but the one everyone wanted was the boss 9 (429 CI instead of 302). Just like now, you can have the 302, or the 5.0 Coyote. It's all a gamble of what tastes are going to be in the future I guess.

I think if you're looking into an investment vehicle, look into the COPO Cameros (will probably break the bank lol) or a 2000's SVT Mustang Cobra. Another one to look at is the Dodge stealth. You rarely see these cars around as they where re-branded to the Mitsubishi 3000GT.

Ford made 8000 Mustang Boss 302s. They're cool and all, but if you a nice interior you're going to want the Camaro. If you just want a rare car (even though the value won't go up for a long time and if you want the value to increase you would have to put low miles on it). Pick whatever you like man, you really can't go wrong with either choice as they're both great cars.

Why not go for a CTS-V? Not only is it luxurious AND a 4 door. But they're quick as hell. Regardless if you're a Chrysler, Ford or GM guy. Everybody enjoys the CTS-V.

I'm going to assume it's out of the budget as they start at 84k rofl.
