Quoted from littlecammi:I have a Mustang Boss premium and quite a few of the dots are different (depicting Boss model Mustangs) from the dots for Mustang pro and I'm afraid no one is going to bother doing special colorization for the limited number of Boss premiums.
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:Really? I haven't heard this before and it seems odd that Stern would actually bother doing this. Are the Premium's dots different from the LE's then too?
Mustang game code was released at V1.0 on March 7, 2014 and received seven updates in March 2014 (up to V1.12) and two more updates in April 2014 (V1.13 + V1.20). Then a big code update May 17, 2014 to V1.30 which included unique dots for Boss Mustangs on the premium. Another big code update to V1.40 on October 2, 2014 really made the game complete. And V1.45 was issued February 16, 2016 to fix a couple bugs and equalize some scoring. Here's the info for code version 1.30 which included the unique dots for Boss (look for the word BOSS various places in the update).
