Which one would you go for?
 
Getting bored with the 09 so my question is this, come spring or whenever the new GT500 is released i.e. 5.8 @ 650hp which car would you/should I go after. I am thinking the Boss LS and the new GT500. Boy oh boy this will/would be a difficult decision, the race car look/sound of the LS vs the brute power of the 500. As of now I think I would pick the Boss LS:cha cha: Oh I think the 2 different cars will be within a few thousand dollars of each other so that should be a wash. I will guess with tax the new GT500 will be approx 68k tax in here or am I way off base:D

What about the new Camaro? LOL
Id go with the boss! I've priced both at Ford.ca and theyre about the same bucks.

That's a tough one. I'd go GT500 over the LS, I'm not huge on the Boss LS styling. Honestly I'd just go with a regular Boss if it was me.

Since 07 I have always been fanatical about the GT500. Though the new model is intriguing I'm really stuck on the Boss 302 right now so that would be my vote.

Boss is winning

That's a really tough choice... The 500 for the brute force and cushy ride, or the exclusivity of the LS Boss. I like brute force, but the "race car for the street" image of the LS is hard to ignore. Plus, I read somewhere that the LS is losing the different coloured roof next year. That was one thing I really didn't like about the car when it first appeared.
Snakebite, another thing to read up on would be a suspension comparison between the two. If the LS is running a stiffer set-up (I suspect it is), your back may not like it.

+1 for the advice and keep in mind I drive very little i.e. less than 600 miles a year. The final decision would come down to the sound difference between the two. Strange I know. I had a deposit on a LS a year ago and was told your chances are 0 to none but now they have one sitting on the floor go figure. I will run this by the wife tonight as she is out of town.

I personally am a Shelby fan when that price range is discussed.

The Boss is the new flavor so it is only normal to want to try it.

I say drive one,look at it in your garage for an hour,as thats where it will spend most of it's time anyway like you say. (I'm not trying to be a wise ass either snakebite).

I also noticed you ordered the current 09 stripe delete. Is this offered in the Boss?

Carry on,I am jealous of either one you get.:tup

Lorne.
