Who's the Boss

cfweber · 04-06-2011, 02:41 PM

I think Ford has produced the car that answers the question, "What next?".

It's about bang for the buck performance

these numbers from R&T should at least show how the cars would do relative to each other

price 0-60 skidpad slalom

Mustang GT $30k 4.6 .91 70.6

Corvette GS $50k 4.1 .96 70.7

Boss $40k 4.1 1.02 74.0

370Z $30k 5.2 .98 69.5

I thought I'd have to get the vette to up the ante, or risk a used Porsche

It's the Boss

Within the price tags posted the only two that are comparable to each other are the GT and the Z. With that being said the GT has the 0-60, the Z has the skidpad, and the GT once again has the slalom, but in the end it comes down to the buyer, i personally wont buy the GT for personal reasons, so my choice would be left in the hands of the Z which i proudly own. Oh and the Z has 2 less cylinders to feed so as of right now it is my choice for gas out of the two.

If you get a 'vette, get a Z06. There are too many cars that are creeping up on the Coupe/GS performance range.

i read the tital and thought it was going to be about Tony Danza

For once Ford focused on handling without waiting for Shelby or Roush to address it. From the special on Speed that I saw for this car it is a beast and considering that the M3 is their target it finally can make it through a corner.

Though, I'm not sure you could find one for $40K after the dealers start to get a hold of them, given that I would personally take a Z over it and just dump the leftover into some mods

I have seen many sub 5 second 0-60 runs with the Z.

That really didn't begin with the Boss. Hell, the regular GT is nipping at the heels of the M3 coupe in most tests (and even surpassing it in a few others).

As far as the pricing goes... if you check the Mustang forums most everyone has been getting them for MSRP or better if they ordered.

Unless you feel like the Z06 is too much powarrrr for you. Which is totally understandable... the Z06 has a lot of powarrrrr (as you very well know

)
