I will wait to see some more comparisons before I say if its a let down or not IMO. Just about every review has loved way the car drives, its straight line performance is on par with the outgoing model (which to some is a disappointment, to me not really, the car gained weight, got an IRS and is still right there with the outgoing. Some mags have it slower, some have it faster so IMO thats a wash. It is about what I expected). M/T seemed the most neutral didn't love it didn't hate but said its better than the car it replaces. R&T absolutely loved it. I am anxious to see some comparison tests now.
There are at least 5 tests-results for GT-PPs now available. ALL of them are within a 1/10 or 3. ALL of them are reasonably consistent with regard to "performance metrics". NONE of them exceed the BOSS with any consistency... in ANY metric. The '15s struggle to match it...

Like the Hellcat's neon-fluorescent flashy headlines, if the BOSS was the benchmark, someone's slide rule is broken...
