The M3 GTS is 450HP and 440lbs lighter. (yes 3,285lbs) It will definately give the Boss a good race.

Eh, I agree and then again I don't. Much like you I think the Laguna Seca Boss and the M3 GTS make for a logical comparison even with a vastly different price of entry because the two cars are similar in concept and ethos. Taking that as the case, by default that logically has to mean that the standard Boss compares more accurately with something else, and I think that something else is blatantly the M3.
Motor Trend compared to the GT to the M3 because it was the closest existing Mustang to that particular Bimmer, but that wont be the case any longer once the Boss hits the pavement. In fact, I think the addition of the Boss makes for a surprisingly logical comparison of product lines, despite disparity in price, between the Mustang, the 3-Series.
Mustang 3-Series
V-6 328i
GT 335i
Boss 302 M3
Boss 302 LS M3 GTS
