I know it's not at the same track on the same day, but the results are not what I would expect. Somehow the Boss is quicker in the quarter mile and runs the same mph as a GT500 even though it's down 106hp. I know it weighs 180lbs more , but still. Also, the GT500 apparently brakes better and is quicker around the figure eight track. It's just strange.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the GT500 has about 540hp and poor grip...the ponies are useless if they just spin the tires... they are kind of notorious for this problem I think...
also the boss is 200lbs lighter so i think it has a better hp to weight ratio...
the numbers about don't really portray the differences that well seeing as the time doesn't differ until 50-60 mph but they are on different days and conditions...but if they are toting it as the best mustang ever built from the factory I don't think I would expect anything less
and isnt their "eco boost" v6 turbo? either way though 300hp and 31 mpg is shexy....
