I am really tired of Ford bashers stating things like the following...

"it feels like bouncing on a bed of rocks." in reference to the way the GT500 feels over bumps...c'mon...does it really feel like a bed of rocks?

If I was to spend my own money I'd probably choose a BOSS over the GT. But that's just me.

That's because they need to feel comforted. Bunch of pussies who need the car to basically drive for them.

Dunno. But it must have been a harsher ride than what he found with the Boss, and you tend to remember any change for the worse at least as well as the absolute ride quality itself.

GT500's had at least previously fitted with firmer rear LCA bushings as a means of reducing wheel hop. That'll make the ride noticeably harsher and the rear a little less settled even if the springs/shocks/rear sta-bar weren't changed from the GT or Boss at all.

IIRC the Boss, track pack and Brembo Mustangs all came with the same lower control arms as the GT500. Or at least they did if Ford changed them on the 2013 GT500.

Wow, spoiled bitches is my guess. I always reffered to them 500hp Cadillacs. Maybe I haven't driven the same exquisit cars though lol

Haha I love that.

I think that's a fair review. Ford designed the Boss to be more of a track car (not 1/4 track) and the GT500 to dominated the 1/4. With that being said, I feel as though the Boss is a modded 5.0 (And I don't intent for that comment to be negative) and the gt500 is still more of a "stock" car that can be improved!

I agree completely. They use the same block and the Boss is still 5 liters.

Man I would love to get to drive a GT500 to compare them.

Exactly!

^^^^This. I wouldn't care if the GT500 rode like the Flintstones car over bumps. I'd take one over all others any day.

Holy shit...where have u been ultra.

i like this comment from the yahoo page,

"Funny to read a story about a a muscle car with classic heritage written by someone who admits the doesn't even like Mustangs to begin with."

i had the same thought as soon as I started reading the article.
