Coexist. This one is based off the 5 liter from the regular GT and is more of a track-oriented car.

The GT500 is a street beast that uses the supercharged 5.4L.

which one will be the faster around a road course? in a straight line i assume the gt500 will be faster.

That will depend on track size really.
The GT500 is putting down more power and has great handling, but the Boss will beat around a corner but lose it on longer straights.

hard to say, the gt500 isn't exactly a slouch in the twisties, on a big track with lots of straightaways, i'd give the edge to the gt500, on a tighter track, the lighter weight of the 302 should have the edge, I think the boss302 would be more rewarding to drive, less muscling thru the corners compared to it's heavier big brother.

Honestly I have no idea. We will have to see the numbers once the car gets put through its paces.
