So, what would we choose: the Boss 302 or the 2013 Shelby GT500? It's a tough call because they are very different cars. The Boss is for road racing, a pure delight with its lighter weight, shorter gearing and more pointable nature. But the GT500, with its cockpit-adjustable dampers and new launch control software, is super impressive in its reasonable price (given its power) and its ability to wear three hats well—that of "Dragstrip King, Road Course Warrior and Boulevard Cruiser," in the words of Steve Ling, the SVT Marketing Manager. And with only about 4000 Shelby GT500s expected to be sold per year, why not buy the most potent Mustang you can buy?"
Speed/fun costs lots of $$... Just how fast do we want to go?... and how much fun do we want to have? Sell the farm and go have some fun!
