So what do you think would happen to current gt500 lap times if the new GT500 could equal the handling of the Boss, but have way more horsepower for the straights and better brakes?
His point about the gearing is not moot. Ford has stated that the torque at the wheels in at least first gear will be lower than it is on the current car. If torque at the wheels is less in lower gears, how will it increase traction problems when exiting a turn?

Good point about lacking an IRS...that's why it was so choppy and difficult to control...
If I can turn the point around....how will the way more horsepower be useful when exiting a turn, then, if the torque is measurably less?
And I have to question the sheer physics behind the concept of the comparably nose-heavy GT500 on street compound tires out-handling the Boss LS (which rides on R-compounds).
