[QUOTE="LostPony, post: 12632330, member: 135127"] I voted Boss. I have driven the my standard Boss, a '12 LS, and a '13 GT500 all on the same course at different times. I liked the larger front brakes of the GT500 and may add them to my Boss. It turned in okay, but not with the precision of the Boss in either LS or standard trim. In the Boss I am able to dip into the power harder and sooner than I could in the GT500, which resulted in the Boss being equally fast if not faster in tighter sections of the track. The GT500 was quicker down longer straights where I could stay in it longer. I have also driven the Shelby GT350 on the same course in 625HP trim. Still no comparison to the Boss for overall feel and precision. Adding a blower and increasing power will I think result in similar driving style as GT500, in other words, having to wait a little longer to get to the power when exiting a turn. I know this keeps coming up in these threads about Boss vs whatever and adding a blower, but I still feel that most if not all should just drive the damn thing for a while in stock trim, and THEN decide if a blower is needed. So much of your lap times depend on the driver on a road course. I have seen the Boss pass a ZL1 on the course just because the driver was a little better and listened to his instructor. In my own sessions on track in the instructor run groups, I have only been passed by full on race cars with more than 300HP, or higher end sports cars like Vettes and GT3 Porsches on R-compound tires. The best part of that? I don't even push the car that hard because I remind myself before nearly every turn that I still owe many years of payments on it and USAA won't cover me on track. In the end, it is your money and both cars are awesome machines. I don't think either one will let you down in the "grin" factor! [/QUOTE]
