That was a great read, thanks for posting. Those 1LE's are a great value. Love the way te Boss was described in that review as well.

Don't expect any apologies that the 1LE has 40 lb-ft of torque on the Boss, though. Power delivery is linear and precise and the Mustang has character and personality that go far deeper than the Camaro.
love this quote!

Sounds like Chevy is giving its fan boys a great car and value. That said I can't wait to race one in the 1/4 mile. Which is the most likely spot to have a grudge match.

Great article, thanks for posting. But they failed to include 'realistic price you must pay over MSRP', for both cars. I know my Ford dealer gets $5k minimum over MSRP for Boss, and $10k for LS. My guess is Chevy does the same for 1LE and ZL1.

I no idea why they did not post laps time .

What it looking like is those big P285-35 20" up front are give the chevy the edge in front cornering grip when looking at stock vs stock . That also lock the chevy owner into a Big Dollar tire if he want to run his stock rims . Now when you talk a track day that all goes out the window with everyone running the tires he like for the set-up he has on his car.

One of the things i like about my Brembo GT i just run P275-40 19" SQ. and i got all kinds of tires to pick form with a good price range .

My dealer gets MSRP for their Bosses and GT500s so I wouldn't use ADM as a factor.

Not asking price on the LS's...if you know them they take care of you. They had the LS's marked up over 10K

Yeah but they didn't sell for that.

Does anybody really think the dealers won't be loading these things with options to the gills and adding ADMs. You probably won't see many on the lot cheaper than a Boss.

There really aren't that many options to load it up with.
