Ford really did their homework with this one, it truly is a marvel of cost effective engineering, if I didnt buy my 5.0 less than a year ago and still had my Z, you better believe i'd have already ordered a Boss. I'm completely in love with that car, especially the black and red color scheme version.

when the boss goes on sale, to ford enthusiasts, the gt500 is still the higher end car, correct?

Man I want a mustang so bad every time I read about them.

As a power car, yes. As a handling car... who knows at this point.

The next model GT500 is going to start using either a turbocharged or a supercharged 5.0 L. There were some spyshots of a GT500 mule with a boost gauge and 8,000 RPM redline floating around... so I guess we'll find out in time.

If Ford is to be belived when they say it will lap a normal road-course about 2 seconds faster than the regular GT, that means it will do VIR in about 3:06. 2 seconds behind the GT500, and a good 4-6 seconds behind a base model C6 'vette.

Fast for a mustang, and an extremely killer bargain, but it's not going to start emberrassing GT-R's or anything unless the driver is to blame.

Yeah, not sure why people are trying to compare this against cars that cost double or more. They went after the M3, and beat it, it's first lap out at LS, as a prototype.

I actually think its going to be a lot quicker than that at VIR. Should approach the 3 minute mark there. The VIR lightning lap course is a lot longer than a "normal" road course. It definitely should be a lot quicker than 3:06. Its going to destroy the M3 and that's about what the M ran in the lightning lap.
