1.79 short-time is do-able on street tires I would think. Car has a few tenths more in it if he can get the short-time down a bit. I think it could go 11.5X's with some practice.

His 60' was 1.69, not 1.79.

The big thing to consider here is that the base suspension cars are more suited to hooking up than the Boss, which is more of a road-racing ringer. The fun thing to consider is that all of the suspension gurus have already figured out that they can still improve on the car quite a bit with a better shock package and perhaps a Watts Link.

Yeah, definitely. Suspension wise the Boss is a Brembo package 5.0 with a revised spring, shock, and sway bar package. It also has a torsen differential.

Basically, if i do what I plan on doing with the suspension on mine, I'll out-handle the stock Boss fairly easily. But the BOSS is just one hell of a package straight off the showroom floor as you all know now.

The intake manifold on the Boss is sweet, though. Where the base 5.0 starts to fall off in power at the top end (around 7,000 RPM) the Boss keeps pulling. The powerband on the base is sick... the Boss is even sicker!
