Our friends at Road & Track posed a question that many Mustang fans have wanted to know since the first rumors of the Shelby GT350 surfaced — how does the new Ford Performance vehicle compare to the 2012-2013 Boss 302 Mustang?
To answer the question R&T commissioned occasional contributor Bark M. to do a back to back comparison driving the 2016 Shelby GT350R and his School Bus Yellow 2013 Boss 302.
If you have been following some of the initial media drive reviews, the glowing impressions herein will not be surprising.
He writes, “[The GT350R] is utterly brilliant … I’ve been a fan of the Boss 302 since driving the Laguna Seca at the track of the same name in March of 2011, but this GT350R effortlessly replaces it in my affections. This is more than simply the best Mustang possible; it’s more like the best M6 BMW never built, a high-revving love letter to purity of purpose and execution.”
