Not enough HP on a Boss, though that could be corrected. Too many people think that the Boss 302 is coveted and slap a fat price on them. They aren't that wanted, given you can pick up a used 07-09 GT500 with more power and make more power yet with just a pulley and tune. Convertible is not of interest either but thanks for letting me know.
Didn't figure a vert would work for you but don't underestimate (for conversations sake, you can of course buy what you want), the Boss. I can guarantee (having driven both) it would take the Gt500 in the corner and would walk away on a short technical track. Big straightaway track would make it more even. Cost of a Gt500 and a Boss are very similar. Again just making the point for conversation.

A little off topic (but it was my thread) a little more eye candy for you. My recently bought 00R.

Not interested in a corner carver car. If that were the case I would not purchase a Mustang. The cost to super charge a Boss to make 700 RWHP with a centri setup is about $7000 which factors in that I have ID 1050x FI's and Lund Nguage that would be a direct fit already on hand. To get a GT500 07-09 there is about 3-4K because I already have a VMP twin 67mm TB, JLT 125mm CAI, and ID1050x FI's, and a Lund Ngauge that are direct fit on to any 07-14 GT500. So that makes the cost for me nothing more than the head unit swap and a tune which brings that number down to about 4K. The 2300 unit from VMP is $2700 and the 2650 is $3500. A tune is $650 from Lund. So its a no brainer. Plus there is a leather option on the GT500 wheres as there is not on the barebones Boss.

Yup, for going straight a GT500 would be king.

I have determined after today you guys here are a bad influence on me. Today I sent my 2016 GT350 and my 2007 GT500 off to a consignment dealer and picked you GR262 2016 GT350R in magnetic metallic. Barely used at 2100 miles. All this talk about switching to an R got me thinking and well, this is what happens. Pics to follow.
Damn, I'm happy for you. All those millions you got from that business you sold. Why not keep all 3?

Now you're just trolling. Seven mustangs are more than I need, besides I want to free up cash for a 95R.
