[QUOTE="HI RPM, post: 16381199, member: 193343"] I first read this post on the GT350 forum. There was a lot of good feed back from people who actually race/track both of the cars. I didn't chime in, because I don't track my Boss and felt I had nothing to add. As I read this again (now posted in the BOSS forum) the word FUN in the "fun/track" statement jumps out at me. I own a 2013 Boss recaro car. I have just very recently had the opportunity to drive a 2018 Shelby GT350 w/touring seats. I drove them both, back to back, on the street. The performance differences between the two cars are quite apparent. IMHO, the Shelbys incredible grip, outstanding brakes and excellent chassis composure not only make it a better race car, it makes a better grand touring car as well. There are only three "cons" that I see to the GT350 from my view/needs. #1... Obviously, the much higher price. #2...It is geared too high. It needs 4.10's gears or lower, for the street. #3...The FPC Voodoo 5.2 doesn't seem to share the same bullet proof reliability that the BOSS 302 has. Hopefully the 18+ engines are better. So far, they seem to be. As for the Boss, it's a fast car that is a riot to drive. It is no where near as polished as the GT350...almost the opposite. Its rough, raw and to some extent, crude. Yet, it is the most FUN car that I have ever owned. I find myself at the same cross road as you. Asking the same question, "Boss 302 or GT350?" Do I make the jump and trade off the Boss for a GT350? The difference is, I am most concerned with having FUN. A fun and engaging high performance grand touring car, interests me greatly. The TRACK part doesn't affect my decision. The question "Is the much more expensive GT350 a better race car (or just better car in general) than a Boss 302?"...That has been answered... YES! The question "Is the much more expensive GT350 more FUN than a Boss 302?"... This, I struggle with. [/QUOTE]
