Drive both and decide. Boss is faster. Fun to drive depends on the driver.

Boss is faster, handles just as well, has cheaper aftermarket, but lets face it...its a Ford. Plus that Nismo body is just SO DAMN SEXY!! I'd take a Nismo over any Mustang. I love walking out to my car everyday thinking to myself, "Damn, this car still looks so damn good." lol. But thats me. Worst part is that at every stop light, you'll see a Mustang.

Lol , you are thinking what I am thinking ! I am the only one drive nismo in mt town , not saying I am rich or something . There is a lots of mustang boss or shelby in my town as well , idk , maybe nismo is not very popular in my town , idk why both car price about the same and boss is the way faster than nismo

Quick Question.

You have a Nismo? But it says you drive A7. Nismo makes automatic?

I have driven a Nismo 370 on the track and a bunch of Mustang variants. (I don't know if any of them was a "Boss")

The Mustangs push me back in my seat more and handle surprisingly well, but none of them stuck with me like the Nismo 370.

I still can't believe that Nissan's lawyers allowed that car to leave the factory so neutral. And of all the incremental power-bumps throughout the different VQ/years, the Nismo 370 is the only one to have the extra power really get my attention. It's not as powerful as a Mustang but it is plenty strong.

I would go with the Nismo 370 myself.

You'll have to drive both and figure out which will make you happier. A Boss 302 should be able to give a Nismo a run for its money no matter the situation (and vice versa). It should be close enough that it will depend on intangibles that you feel and do while driving. While most Mustangs can handle sloppy, the 302 is the exception.

Be aware there is a Leguna Seca package which you'll probably want to try out.

If it were me, the rarity of the Z is value and happiness. A Boss 302 Leguna Seca is going to just be another "Mustang" to all but the discerning enthusiast.

Stay with me here for a second, you had a 370Z Touring, just 3 Month ago got the Nismo.....and now you ask if you should trade for a BOSS

If you have any disposable income to waste, I give you my account info. Why the heck didn't you test the BOSS 3 month ago before making the switch?

Either way, I drove the Boss, the Genesis and the Z, the Boss is powerfull but as you said, you see Mustang at every corner, and it is a.....well....Ford, enough said. Stick with the Nismo I would say!
