[QUOTE="x99blacksnakex, post: 10186002, member: 102796"] I honestly don't understand why you're ripping so hard on the new Boss. The whole package is designed from the ground up to be a track specific car. The GT is not. Yes the Brembo's are nice, but if you think that slapping new springs, shocks/struts, U/LCA's and some other goodies onto a GT and have it come close to the price point that the Boss is at, then you're nuts. From an engineering standpoint, it takes a lot of money to calculate spring rates in correlation to shock/strut dampening rates, camber, caster, ect. This is all done by Ford's engineers, who happen to have a lot of experience doing so. Therefore, it's not the individual parts themselves, but the sum of them. Certain combinations of suspension settings yield better handling from less expensive parts than slapping on a bunch of expensive stuff, and not knowing suspension geometry. Plus this car has a fully forged motor, which is basically a Boss 302R motor from the factory. It's got better heads, cams, intake, rotating assembly, etc. than a GT. Ford engineers tested the Boss 302 motor with a test similar to the Daytona 250 175 times in a row, and it didn't blow up. It's also had double bogey testing which operates the motor beyond redline for extended periods of time. Can a GT do that? Absolutely not. This car is far from a GT with I/E/T and suspension work. Beyond that once the Boss starts receiving exhaust and intake modifications, you can bet your ass its going to make a lot more power than an I/E/T GT. [/QUOTE]
