And that would go for a vast majority of people in enthusiast forums too. Many do not know how much they don't know about driving and vehicle dynamics until it bites them in the butt.

I am just disappointed that Ford said the Boss was the target, and it appears they have missed. I don't know for 100% sure what was said regarding weight, but the general impression of most everyone was that it was going to be lighter, they missed again.

I am happy it rides better, but quite honestly, my Boss rides just fine too. I see a lot of apologies being made for the car and it amuses me to see people who have called the Camaro a pig because it weighs 3,800 pounds, now excuse the weight because "now we have more features and safety." Now don't think for a minute that I believe the new Camaro will be any lighter than the S550, but really all GM has to do is match the weight and I think Mustang will be playing catch up for quite a while performance wise due to the better torque of the LT1 and the experience they already have invested in the Alpha platform regardless of which one they use under the 6g car.

Agreed. I keep asking myself when the power increases have to stop. All of these cars are too powerful for the street. I mean c'mon 707hp Hellcat. That is just an exercise in restraint all the time.
