Default New BOSS in town

Watch out my Chevy Lovin Brothern..

The once laughable mustang is just getting more and more impressive.

Is this equal/better than C5Z06 performance from a mustang?

If you wanna pull that old worn out comment then lets complain about 346c.i. motors and 600lbs less for the c5Z. See either way they are stupid ways to put it down.

Why must people always deny the fact that when a cars fast its fast. I dont care if its a 500ci big block or a turbo 6 form 1987.

I'd totally rock a BOSS mustang. Thing is a beast, handles great and has forged internals so should handle boost really well.

Ok, I NEVER get into these arguments about comparing cars, it's personal preference 99% of the time, but what slicks-only Pony car did GM make that ran those times? Serious question, not being a smartass.

What does that matter, it's not what has a car company done for me. It's what has a car company done for me lately. I could care less about the past. I want GM to move in the right direction and honestly the new ls3 pig is not it.

Time is definitely comparable/competitive with a stock C5Z with drags/slicks.

But it cant outrun ugly! To me it looks like a straight riced clown car.

Here are the car and its proud owner.
