I dont know what it is about these new mustangs that stirs such a visceral reaction from me? They are a good looking car and obviously make gobs of power, but I would rather push a Chevy volt (on fire) than own one of these!

I'm with you on this one, the car is great, performance is nothing short of amazing, but it wouldn't spend 2 mins in my possession without me trying to sell it off for something else. Obviously, I'm not a mustang guy, but if I was to own one, it would be a Boss.
This is the general problem with pony cars - the more successful they are, the more of them on the road, the more boring they become. It's a visious circle really.

I honestly don't really want either, but if I was forced to choose it would be the Boss. Why?? I see GT500s everywhere, almost as many in my area as sixers, it's gross. Also, I like the NA approach of the Boss, lighter weight, etc. In the end, it's purely personal taste.
Why would anyone want anything??? That's the real question. Each to their own, I don't question other's opinions, they are entitled to them.

You have no idea what you're talking about....Motor Trend ran 11.6 and that's on street tires....this will be an EASY LOW 10 sec car with sticky tires and pulley swop

im just asking as i like the boss too and wouldnt mind putting the extra $15+k in the bank, althought if this is true and the cobra is packing more than 700hp, that is pretty serious. to the point i would trade in my new cayman which is basically imo a better DD than the cobra

Regardless of E/T, 125.7mph trap is very low for a car making that power. Tires not much of a factor in mph.

you gotta give this car, and ford, props for really stepping up the game. However, i'd like to see what a 2.3L blower style supercharger will do on the lsa supplied in the ZL1. After reading that motor trend article, they state that the new cylinder walls are thinner, so I would also like to see how these motors hold up to the aftermarket game which i'm sure ton of people are going to increase the boost. but for the time being, this car is the ultimate definition in america of what a muscle car should be.
really can't wait to see the first 1000 hp production muscle car...anybody want to bet on that time frame? hah
