Some of these are pretty much common knowledge, but hey it's all good.
The Boss 'base' doesn't come equipped with Recaro seats or a Roll Bar (X-Brace on LS, but that's it). Torsen diff is also an option, not standard.
Good list so far!

Remember, there's a few of those Boss goodies that you can get on a 55R equipped '13. Specifically, the radiator, oil cooler and Torsen diff.
If you use your car a lot for cruising, but want some of the boss performance, a 55R equipped GT is the way to go.
If you're a track ratt and don't care about cushy leather, big stereos etc, opt for the Boss.

The Boss engine definitely has the edge over the standard 5.0 but I think the standard Boss suspension doesn't stand up to the GT Track Pack. For the price of the Recaros and the TORSEN suspension, I think most order the Boss with the upgrade.

As to whether a 55R is better than a base Boss, let's not kid ourselves. If those of us getting 55Rs could afford a Boss, we most likely would have bought a Boss. I can't afford one, so a 55R gets me close.

They way I see it is the new 2013 GT (as the way I am going to order it) can be made into a "Boss-Lite." Add FRPP adjustable dampers and springs and you have a vehicle that is everything a Boss is, minus the engine of course.
So for $10k less I will deal with not having the extra 24 hp, and 500 rpm.
