I think Ford really hit a home run here. Without AWD, it becomes a VERY subtle comparison when production cars are at 400-450 hp and above around a track, even with professional drivers (this is assuming the car isn't a full out race car, gutted with a role cage, one racing seat, no interior, etc). Traction is an issue even with the largest of tires. So, to be able to offer the base Boss at around $40k and the Laguna Seca at a little more, and be able to compete/surpass cars that are AT LEAST twice the price out of the box, is astonishing.
