Motortrend 2012 BOSS stats

[KXRM]

I am still waiting for some real world numbers. I love the BOSS and for the price you can't beat it if those numbers can be repeated by buyers.

Straight line too:

GT500 0-60 4.1 ; 12.4@ 115.8 Qtr Mile

BOSS is .1 quicker in both. I realize .1 sec doesn't really mean much.

GT500 is severely traction limited. With traction the GT500 is a good bit faster than the Boss.

Change the tires and the GT500 can be a low 11 second car without any other mods.

as was stated earlier. Traction is a huge issue with those cars. Cars with similar power to weight and traction can trap over 120mph

very impressive. especially the cayman, look at what they can do with limited horsepower! (same for the Boss also , but not to the same extent)

The gt500 is capable of over 120 traps. If you were to lineup a gt500 and boss in 100% stock form, they would probably be pretty close in the 1/4 depending on drivers, but immediately after, the gt500 will start running away. The gt500 just can't put the power down.
