Looks pretty good, it's a good thing that they did something about the handling.

But I'd still go for this

Dana will probably think less of me for saying this but I want one. Especially the BOSS. Something tells me that 650 hp in the GT500 will make it damn near undrivable on the street.

I'm with you. Car looks good, but I'm more than happy with my decision to nab a '12.

Awesome vehicle! I'm glad the Horsepower Wars will continue because of cars like this

As for IRS.....not needed ;-) the 03-04 Cobras have IRS and it is Nothing special and Weak. Luckily for those guys the swap to a live-axle is fairly simple. I'll Never switch to IRS in my GT...for a lot of your average mustang owners that's going a step backwards.

This. 4.7 sec to 60? Hope it's wrong. If not, that's got to be the worst use of 650hp in a while.

In any event, if I were in the market for a Mustang, it would be the Boss.

Not a Mustang guy. But this car is impressive.

I can all but guarantee that the 4.7 number is just there for display purposes. I clocked a 4.7 in my Boss (measured by a Vbox) in cold temps with pretty bad traction issues. This car will be much faster w/ over 200 more HP and torque.

For reference, the ZL1 is 580hp, weighs more, and GM is claiming 3.9s to 60.
