Gauge Package
Last night the designer mentioned about the gauges being specially designed. Outside of the font, I can't tell much of a difference..

Do I understand correctly that the Boss 302 gets the base GT 4 guage cluster and not the premium GT 6 guage cluster? If so, do all Boss 302's get the 3 guage cluster on top of the dash that the Laguna Seca gets? I feel like I should know this, but I can't find it in print anywhere.....

I understand that the Boss 302 gets the base GT 4 guage cluster and not the premium GT 6 guage. It appears that the LS has the same and also the 3 guage cluster dash set. Or it seems that way from the order quide. I would question Ford's reason to limit the guage count on the Boss if that is true. I hope I am reading it wrong!

Nope. That's how it is. 4-Guage cluster on Boss. 4-Guage + Dash Pod (x3) on LS. Dumb.

None of this is relevant if you're planning on installing an AiM dash at some point

If this is the case, I'm sorry, but I'm pretty peeved.
I don't mind the 40+ price.
I don't mind any nav.
I don't mind any security.
I don't mind any Sync.
I love everything about this car, but to skimp on gauges and not have an option? I mean, I know the tach was an option in '69 and '70, but my 70 has more gauges factory than this '12? Really? That's just lovely.

Here's an illustration from the owner' manual. The gauge faces are black with illuminated numbers, like the 05-09 cars.
Also, see this thread.
