Brembo GT vs Boss 302
301A+ Brembo... plus $13k towards my mortgage.
I'm a pretty average driver but I'd put my George Foreman grill on the line to say that it would take a MUCH better driver than me to run significantly better lap times, even with a Boss.
As I said earlier, that is the package that I would really want, all things being equal but the performance difference isn't justified by the 35% price increase.

You'll like either car.

Yeah my 300A with Brembo's and 3.73's stickered for $32,195.
Yes the Base GT is a little spartan when it comes to options but I always prefered Performance or Fluff, and for that reason I know I would love a Boss.
Although with some adjustable shocks and a watt's link I would probably be 85% of the way there.

I bought my Boss for MSRP the week it came out. I can make a miata faster than your Brembo 300a for about 15k including car. The Boss is made to beat on week after week at the track, survive, and still have warranty.

Well I went with a Silver Brembo GT.
2011 Mustang GT - Premium, Brembo and 3.73
I will change to Steeda sport springs/Koni sport dampers and add a Boss oil cooler,trans cooler,diff cover.
Along with the proper fluids.
This should help at the track . . . then go from there.
I really like the premium fluff, after all, it will be a DD 9 months of the year.
The power seat is great, the stock manual seats are to low for me (5'10")

If you're talking about an autocross situation, all you would need is a set of performance tires and a decent driver to spank an average driver in a Boss

How much is different INTERNALLY from the BOSS & the GT..
The intake manifold and cams.
(Other then some electronics for the track key..
What makes the BOSS last longer in YOUR opinion than a GT under week after week of abuse ?
If you beat the **** out these cars daily.. you'll end up with that in the long run (That's my opinion.. getting on it once and awhile is fine & fun, but daily.. beating the b@lls off it.. I don't think 1 will last any longer than the other..
