Any of you fellows have a Boss Mustang? I'm interested in getting one for daily driving, AutoX, and an occasional track day. I know a guy locally who has one and loves it, but, I also know another fellow who has a Shelby and really enjoys his.
I'm a bit torn between the two. The weight between them isn't vastly different, 175 lbs or thereabouts depending on which rag you believe, and thus I just don't see the handling as being night and day different. However, the power output between the two cars is worlds apart when talking about area under the hp curve or peak power, either one.
Pricing is also vastly different. The Boss is around $43k new, the Shelby around $65k new (racer Ford dealer friend found both new, despite the Boss not being made since Jan 13). But you can't build the motor in the Shelby for that money, it's a hell of a piece of work.
Anyhow, interested in opinions from those that own one or the other, or both.
