But, with the Corvette you get "Light Weight!", and a true sports car, which the Mustang in any iteration (today) is not.
Don't get me wrong, I like the Boss...and the GT350...but are you going to be whipping M3/M4s on the track?
Damn...I want a Boss...in black with a blue stripe.

yeah, corvette is light weight and all that, but for some reason, this new vette hasn't won me yet...if we're talking ZR1, then that's another story......when I turn 40, I definitely want a Boss, but I like the Blue with the black stripe....saw one a few months ago at a red light, that beast was Growling and I said shit, that's a muscle car right there

Near where I worked, the dealership had 3 Boss Mustangs for 45k. One had the Laguna Seca package....one was that Green, another Orange, and I think the blue...
Most of the ones I have driving around are owned by older dudes.

That's all who could afford them now and days , Pony cars used to be cheap but those days are over , now the Focus ST is what the Mustang used to be

A Boss will hang with an M3.

There's an Auto museum up there, as well.

When I was in town, there was a Triumph show in the front lawn. I'm more of an American Muscle Car guy, but these were really cool.

BMW fanatics are a unique bunch and will deny that. I'd take a Boss 302 over the M3 (and the 1M).

I've changed my tune on this car, I wasn't crazy about the rear end but seeing it on video it definitely works. if they would have just rounded of the taillight edges so they weren't so angular and kept with tradition, it would be perfect.

and it's a beast.
