As a Boss owner coming from a BMW ill say the corner speed was picked up on the curbing which seemingly unsettles the Boss but definitely unsettles the driver more. Had my car 1 full year now and I'm still pushing it and realizing it is more capable than it feels. It sits too high, feels under braked, bobs about unnervingly thanks to the SRA and yet, and yet, everytime I think that's it; the car has no more to give... It does. I think the ZL1 is easy to go fast in, but the Boss has more in it. Give the same driver months with both cars and the 2 second lap difference would close somewhat.
