It would, the 16' gt is heavier and down on power compared to the boss.
The boss is about 100lb's lighter and live axles make for better 0-60 and 1/4 mile times than irs.
The R with NO tech pack weighs about as much as the boss. A standard 350 has to be stripped to weigh as much as the boss.
Awesome!

Actually the boss has an even 1/4 mile time as well. Just curious.
You are correct. They state in the article that this one has the resonator delete. But even stock, they're pretty damn loud.

Sounds like a sports bike with a busted exhaust.
Live axle vs irs. This is why. Period.
I knew it... Prolly why he was getting that drone. rattling the dash. guy must of never experienced drone before.

I had a GT350 TP on order. I was looking forward to getting something both faster in a straight line and a car that moves out on the track compared to my Boss. Imo the GT350 does not deliver both of those. Between the weight, gearing and lack of low rpm torque the GT350 is no faster in a straight line. Add to the fact the S550 body lost 1 full inch of already precious head room vs the 13-14...... I decided to keep my Boss. I know the GT350 was not built for straight line performance, but neither was the Boss. 99.9% of my driving either of these would be on the srteet. I'm sure the irs makes for a much improved ride and feel. I also know the interior is an upgrade. But for me it just didn't get me as excited as I hoped it would. So I upgraded my DD instead.....
PS.. I ran 11.82 at 116 100% stock on DR in my Boss.... Let's see if a non R 350 can match that all stock.....

Yeah. Weird thing for me is I liked my 12 boss more than my 14 Shelby. If that car had a better interior I would have never got rid of it.
Overall the Mustangs the last 5 years have been pretty incredible. Can't complain.

Who needs to run 11's when corvette guys drive like this?

But you can run 11's if you know how to drive like us ford guys.

you gotta remember as well that the 350 has A longer 1st gear than the mt82, doesnt help get that high revving motor off the line. The 350 was specifically designed for the road course. It's transmission was designed for the road course. You cant talk shit about the shelbys straight line performance until you actually drive it.
It would ass rape the boss 302 in a roll race or on a road course.

The 350 is a nice car! I drove one last week but I prefer my V any day.
My Boss trapped 116+ stock too... No way would the GT350 be that much faster!!
This!
I think when the guys compare the GT350 to Porsches and BMWs...they are right on point. The S550 Mustang has now evolved into being a sports car, rather than a traditional muscle car. I can't wait for the GT350 to hit the used car market and depreciate a bit. I would buy one for $40k with a couple of thousand miles on it. I just can't get myself to buy it at the ADM most dealers are charging.
Don't get me wrong, both cars are awesome. A 350 with DR's would trap everybit of 116 imo. I looked at a nice grey with blue stripe 350 in my area, no ADM but passed. Still prefer my 13, just to dang fun to drive. Maybe grab a used one at a later date.
I prefer the Boss 302 appearance-wise. That isn't to say that I don't like the GT350 though... one day I hope to pick up one used to park right next to the Boss.
there are just no good car shows anymore, these guys were awful. i did not find them entertaining at all. motor trend is getting a lot better, cant wait for the new top gear, and the new new top gear.
Lmao! The irony is that the corvette guy did that and still won... :lol:
