Statistics - NO breakthroughs, cited. By anyone...

Midnight oil, in copious quantities, being consumed @ the Mustang Dollhouse...

No wonder Mulally left, "early".

"The new Mustang GT rips 'round the figure eight in 24.7 seconds, pulling 0.84 g average in the process. That's not only quicker than the last Mustang GT (25.0 seconds at 0.77 g average), but it's also a better performance than the last Mustang Boss 302 (24.7 seconds at 0.78 g average) we tested."

So a few magazine tests in, and one where specifically says performed better than BOSS you are ready to say it won't/can't out run a BOSS on a road course? We see that it won't in the 1/4 mile, but I wouldn't go so far as saying it can't outrun the BOSS yet, why not wait for lap times
