And the $37,000 1LE beat the BOSS LS, which is without doubt quicker than a Base BOSS, the Ford Fans' favorite when quoting that $42,000 price. And, of course, the ZL1 beat the 500, which beat the LS. None of which stand a chance against the Z/28.

Even if, for argument's sake, we say the 1LE is only a MATCH for the LS, you're still $12,500 in pocket with the purchase of the 1LE. Speaking of who failed.
lol there is no helping you. You do realize they ran the 13 GT500 on a damp track this year, right? So much for the testing consistency. And the base Boss and the LS are the same car, just with an X brace on the LS, different tires, and a larger rear sway bar. A lot less differences then between the 1LE and the Z28, which has a different engine, transmission, suspension pick up points, etc. Like it has been mentioned, an LS hasn't been tested against a 1LE, and the only test of a Boss 302 vs the 1LE that was done at all was by popular mechanics.
