Ford has really done a great job with the solid axle Mustang.

License plate = M3 FMC (M3 by Ford Motor Company?)...a coincidence?!

Yes, they have.

But notice that Vicki Henderson said "it's the best American muscle car I've driven to date".

She hasn't driven a ZL1 yet.

considering her biggest complaint was weight (even though they love the M3 and it weighs the same amount) i don't think she will be happy with the 4100 LB ZL1.

somewhat, there's also the "personal preference" part of the decision. The ZL1 could possibly be unanymously found to be a better road course car by most than the Boss but you will always have someone say they prefer the feel of another car. I for one prefer the "engaged" feel of the solid axle on a clean even track, reminds me riding a sportsbike, you feel what the traction/suspension is doing going in/coming outta turns, lets you know where the throttle limit is. On uneven roads tho, I like the IRS.

It's always a negative or a detractor with you

errr... anything to back up that wildly inaccurate statement?

or are you just against people using reasoning skills so you lash out with illegitimate statements?

You also need to take into account her comment as to how the Boss "owes more to a race car than it does a road car".

Considering the ZL1's impressive 7:41.27 lap time at Nurburgring, I think she's going to be pretty happy with the Camaro.

"there is so much weight going on that you can't really throw it into a corner and make it dance"

is her negative comment aside from the drab interior. what you quoted is the intro in which she is explaining what the Boss is. in her closing comments she stated it is a great road car and fairly decent at the track but a bit "off" based on her European standards.

A fast car does not necessarily make a good driver's car, which is what she seems to be into more. she was passing 599gtb's in that video so the Boss was fast, she just didn't like how it was fast.

I had the chance of driving a Boss and it wus a Beats to drive!! Its just too awesome. It wus not as fast as the GT500 but it wus definitely more fun to drive. It wus just awesome! I would trade my car for a Boss in a heart beat!

Perception is reality. I have seen you post negative things in the past- but generally not as bad as some can get. Sorry for prematurely singling you out.

But, if you must know- here are a couple from your first page of posts...
