I'm glad you post car threads on a car forum, but you know you are going to get the usual bullying comments calling you a troll. You are a glutton for punishment!!
Screw 'em if they can't take a joke. I should buy another P-car to make 'em happy? I figure I once had the best P-car I'll ever own & I got bored with it. Glad I passed it on to the right guy.

Angela, crazy as it sounds, my Bullitt has had zero problems since I bought it at the end of April '09. Dunno about the new 5.0, tho...there have been tales of people who have gone to aftermarket "tunes" losing the #8 cylinder with the 5.o GT's. The Boss 302 has stronger internals, but time will tell. There also have been problems with the Getrag 6 speed. I do wonder how many of these problems are driver caused, and how many are factory screw-ups....

Maybe the old saw of never buying the first model of anything holds true? Give 'em a year to sort out the bugs? Frankly, the only way I'd go for a Boss 302 would be if I could also justify sending it to a high end custom shop to be "bullittized", get rid of all the garish bling, give it a subtle and solid color paint job.

I dunno if I have that much "car guy" left in me.
