The Boss is Back! With a Vengenance!

Car and driver and Road and Track tested Boss 302 Mustangs this past month, and they both were blown away. 0-60 times of 4.1 seconds and 1/4 mile times of 12.3 seconds dusted the vaunted BMW M3. And it's not just a drag racer. It beat a $125,000 Audi R8 around Laguna Seca. The graphics are cool too. Very similar to the original 1969 models. All for about $40k. Or if you were judicious with the option sheet, you could get a 412 hp GT for about 30K!. According to Car and Drvier, the GT ran a 12.7 second 1/4, and gave an M3 all it could handle around Willow springs raceway. In my mind a few tenths in the 1/4 and 32 hp ( The Boss is rated at 444 hp ) isn't worth 10 or 15 grand more. However, the base GT is still quicker than the Camaro SS and the SRT8 Hemi Challenger. Kudos to Ford for having the balls to put out such a killer ride in these times of 4 dollar a gallon gas and people touting hybrids. Wonder if I could get financed on a new Mustang..... Mastermind
