One word of caution. The tires on the boss are basically a full-on track tire. Most other cars do not come this way from the factory so their OEM handling isn't as good. However, you do have to replace those tires VERY often, and at a rather high price.

True statement. You gotta admit though, for all you get with the car, $42k for a proven track performer, it cant be beat. They have them here at the AAFES car sales for MSRP, ZERO dealer mark up, and i'm still kicking myself in the arse for buying my GT when I did.

Not trying to take away from the car at all, for the price, it's amazing. Just saying that there is a bit of fine print that comes with that performance.

Are you talking about the laguna secs boss? Because the pzeros n the regular boss aren't far off from anything on any regular performance car.
