3631 / 444 = 8.1
3314 / 350 = 9.4

Might not seem like a lot but this a pretty significant power to weight advantage. Ford did a pretty decent job keeping the weight down on the Mustang considering its size. Plus with stickier tires it is easier to get the power down off the corner exit which is a good part of it.

Hope they fixed the oil consumption issue, the early Boss's were chewing through crazy amounts of oil at high RPM's on track and Ford ended up doing a bunch of engine swaps.

A bunch of my friends were there this weekend with all kinds of hardware, Blue Z06, Red Z06, another Boss 302 (2012) just to name a few. Met takjak a couple of years back at Summit Point Shenandoah, he was throwing the car around really well on street tires.
