I have a Boss, it is not my DD. Never driven a GT500 so cannot comment objectively. I got the Boss because that is what I have wanted since my first Mustang, a bare bones 1970 6-banger. I got the Boss for weekends and track use. However, if I would have been in the market for a DD, I probably would have gone for a GT500 for:
1) much better interior amenities
2) Awesome HP and TQ
3) Bad- A** factor

The GT500 would win the weekend excursion, I want to enjoy the car, fight, especially with the extra low-end torque the motor and supercharger produces. Additionally as others have statted, the GT500 comes with more standard add-ons from the factory that the Boss will not have.

But Boss is almost 15k cheaper than GT500.

Recaros were available as an option on the '12s. With the SVT PP, I'd say it's a must.

I've been DD my Boss for about two months now. It's incredibly easy to drive around town. In fact I learned this past weekend that it will idle uphill in 1st. I don't need a bunch of fluff but would like Sat radio and will probably add it at some point for the $300 in parts it takes. I have an iPhone for NAV and will also just upgrade the stock speakers and probably add a subwoofer. Would a GT500 be more plush? Probably. Would it handle better? No. Is it faster? Not really based on my run with the Shelby Club last month.

What?!? The Boss is $41,999 (approximately) and no dealers appear to be discounting them at all. A GT500 starts at about $49k, and with X-Plan it can be bought in the $44's. X-Plan can be used to buy a GT500, but not a Boss.

To me there is no question - the GT500. Proven engine, proven power, and the Tremec tranny. Look around - there are already Boss owners having the same problems with thier MT82 trannies that GT & V6 owners are having.
