yknot, don't waste your time typing all that. Bench racing will always be around, and there will always be tools sitting on the bench, instead of getting out on track and finding out.

Well said.PeteInCT said:I said it before and I'll say it again - The bow-tie entries are pretty much at their limit as far as I can tell based on design, add a little $$$ to the Boss (tires, brake pads, suspension) and it'll at least equal if not beat both of those cars. If you assume tires and brake pads are consumable items, it would only cost you about $2500 plus installation for a 302S suspension. Also, it takes more of an experienced driver to get the most out of the Boss to drive it at it's limit than the Camaro. I've seen first hand what Roketman did with his Boss at Watkins Glen running Hoosier R6's, Carbo pads and the 302S suspension. The only car that could best him was an all out Porsche Cup race car. And not by very much...
PS: Just so everyone knows, I'm not against giving Chevy their due. The ZR-1/Z-06 cars are damn fast even for their price point. I've driven with a ZL-1 at LimeRock and the best time he posted was a 1:04 - 1:05 and change, driven by a motorsports writer who has a fair amount of experience. His comments were that it was just too heavy. I just feel I need to defend the Boss a little not so much because I own one but I really believe the differences between these cars in real life is well overstated. And, I don't trust the media anymore ;D

Now being able to see out of the car to me it about the same as to each other . The Camaro got a little smaller rear window that about it . The Mustang and the Camaro both suck to see out of compare to my old EVO-8 . The clutch and trans ( red line gear oil in it) in my mustang work really good after you learn how to use the shifter. With that said the trans in the 1LE is just better and the shifter is light years better .With the tires warm up it just stick to every thing . The car way better than my driving skills are .
I liked my mustang but I like driving the 1LE better . Its just feels better to me. I really do not thing you can go wrong with either The Boss 302 or the 1LE there great cars that are fun as hell to drive .
