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

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 *** 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.
