You should read up on it. It's going to be sick car. Ya get the Super Snake if you want to drag race and show off on the Boulevard. Get the new Boss 302 if you are serious about driving.

What good is 800 HP if you don't have the tweaks to handle it in the corners? Not to put the Super Snake its a dope looking car but 800HP seriously. I doubt it has the suspension to handle it.

The Boss was specifically built to hold up and go beyond the track car heritage of the original. Its more of a complete package driving wise.

I will always take less HP in favor of excellent driving and handling capabilities. HP is no good if the car can't utilize it properly.

To each his own.

i absolutely agree with you, i'd rather have a well rounded vehicle. and they make multiple levels of super snake, you could get one with around 600hp as well. but as far as "blowing away all other mustangs", the Boss won't do it

....and the GT500 is designed for more than the quarter mile anyway.

Ford also improved upon the handling characteristics of the GT500. The overall stance of the car has been lowered by 11 millimeters in front and 8 millimeters at the rear. The car also features Ford's new Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS) that improves torque build-up and road feel that delivers quicker and more precise steering, increased effort on the racetrack or winding roads, and reduced effort in low-speed parking maneuvers. The car also has Ford’s AdvanceTrac stability control system.
External improvements include an optional SVT Performance Package, which includes Goodyear EagleF1 SuperCar G: 2 tires, all-new lightweight 19-inch forged-aluminum wheels in the front and new 20-inch forged-aluminum wheels in the rear, 3.73 rear axle ratio, performance tuned front and rear shocks, along with stiffer springs. The package includes a unique rear spoiler Gurney Flap for improved handling, a slightly revised front and rear fascias, a new pedal box for improved clutch use, slotted brake dust shields for improved brake cooling, standard HID (high-intensity discharge) headlamps, MyKey programmable vehicle key, integrated spotter mirrors, and fold-down rear headrests. Optional is glass top roof, previously available starting in 2009 with the Mustang GT.
The improvements in handling and performance gives the 2011 Shelby GT500 a skidpad rating of 1.0G, and a Virginia International Raceway lap time of 2:58:48, making it as fast, and sometimes faster, than cars such as the M3, Audi R8 V10, Dodge Viper SRT-10 and Porsche GT3 around this racetrack [27]

I don't know about that. I saw a special on speed a week ago about the new Boss 302 and basically Ford went off with the car. Lots of track testing at Laguna Seca, rear seat delete option. ETC... they pretty much built a track car from the ground up.

Oh and to quote motortrend its the first non SVT level Mustang to exceed 1g in lateral grip.
