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....

Im also reading from multiple credible sources that the boss is underrated to avoid stepping on any GT500 toes. 444 is apparently wrong, and its closer to 460. Just what im seeing based on some early dyno tests from folks who would know.

Could also be that it just has less of a loss than folks are used to through the drivetrain, maybe that new 6 speed is just really efficient?

I do think there is something to be said for the traction issue brodom is referencing. If you put them both on tire id bet the GT500 pulls out some.

Sonic you are very right. There is no way they can shed any weight without making the price of the car go up and it is fast how it is but if they did shed weight it would be even faster.

The new m3 is joke. Even diehard BMW fans don't like it.

You hate the GTR!? How!? That car is beautiful. Also heavy and big though
