well considering you can almost buy two Boss 302s for what the GT350s are going for now....

No surprises in the comparison review. The Boss 302 was/is a very nice hi-performance Mustang. But the GT-350 is the best Mustang Ford ever built. The bad center console rattle at higher RPMs is a little concerning, though.

No doubt the GT350 is a fast and capable car, but like Josh pointed out... I'd rather have two Boss 302 Mustangs for the price that most people are having to pay for their GT350s. Otherwise, sign me up for a GT350!

Can you drive two Boss 302s at the same time? I'm confused...

I "think" the rattle is actually the passenger seatbelt receiver. I've caught a rattle in the console area a couple of times and reached over to push on things. As soon as I touched the seatbelt receiver it stopped.

add the depreciation of two, it will probably be greater than one..........maybe :) Both suck as an investment regardless.

You can only drive one car at a time. Id rather have the 350.

I'd trade mine for a GT350. For what it is, the Boss 302 is amazing. But the GT350 is better.

The only argument one could make for the Boss being better would be appearance, and maybe exhaust note... and those are just matters of opinion.

Maybe engine durability if the Voodoo proves to have issues some day... the Roadrunner is pretty stout. But I have my doubts.

Some people just have bad taste, it's all good, ugly chicks need love too.

For the rest of us the GT350 is amazing.

How does the engine allow you to heel-toe more efficiently? Reviewers should be replaced with Clarkson, Hammond, and May.

probably speaking on the fact that the voodoo revs up very quick. making it easier to heel toe cuz you only need to tap the gas pedal a bit rather than giving it a full boot to rev match with the slower revving 5.0.

edit: this video makes me think the gt350 they tested had a res delete, no way they're that loud with the resonators. or are they? thing sounds like an R in this video.

I have not driven a GT350, but feel like my old Boss would run circles around my new 16 GT. I really miss the sound of the Boss at 8k Rpms.....

I realize neither car is designed for straight line speed but does anyone else find it odd that the boss is nearly as fast (even though it weighs the same) but is down 80hp to the 350?

Nope, they really are that loud in sport mode.
