[QUOTE="Nathan'sTsi, post: 10183435, member: 14187"] I certianly didn't say "lap", but out lap. If you look at the publisehed curb weight for the LS car over the regualr Boss, there is no weight savings. I am sure the X brace weighs at least as much as the rear seats. Also, if you think an X-brace in the rear gives the same stiffnes as a roll cage then it is you that are dilsusional. Also, if you comb through the intial release, I believe that they mention a percentage amount the X-brace stiffens the car. It was not earth shattering. An improvement yes, but I would think a road race cage would add much more stiffness. Just think about it, it ties more points of the car together througout the entire chassis. I love the Cobra R's. I think it's great that Ford offered them. However, are you trying to say that there are no faster road racing mustangs than them? I would certianly think that is not the case. If you look at my posts, I am high on the Boss. In fact, if the timing were a little more favorable to me and I wouldn't have to jack with trying to find a car without an ADM, I would probably scoop one up. However, I put myself in the "wanting a mustang with a little more swagger/capability" rather than a guy looking for a pure track car. Mine would probably see the track a handful of times, if that. I would drive mine to work, which is why I will probably pick up a 08-10 GT500 instead. If I was a track junkee, looking for purley a track car, I woulod start with the GT and go from there (if I was dead set on using a mustang). I think you are just "putting the pussy on a pedestal" so to speak. The Boss is a great OEM product form Ford, but if you get to the nitty gritty, it's just a GT with shocks, springs, bars and bracing in addition to the motor (and some great tuning form the Mustang team). To think there is nothing better on the aftermarket for the track is a little naive. That's all I am saying ;) [/QUOTE]
