It's a $5800 difference in MSRP, not $10,000.

A Premium GT with Recaros and the Track Pack is $39185 MSRP (with destination/delivery).

A Boss 302 with Brembos/Torsen is $44990 (with destination/delivery).

Also, "Some extras" = cnc ported heads, Boss specific intake, quad exhaust, adjustable shocks, alcantara steering wheel, 19x9.5 rear wheels...

I would wager that the ~$5000 difference when comparably equipped will more than be made up for at resale time.

Aren't the Boss' stripped of a lot of sound dampening as well? Ever priced out a forged rotating assembly? Pricey.

So for $10k less I will deal with not having the extra 24 hp, and 500 rpm.

I was in the same boat as you JScott, just sent you a pm too
