That reeks to me of Ford being afraid of how well the 1LE would do against the Boss.

x2. They can throw all the excuses they want at it, but if they were 100% confident the Boss would fair well against the 1LE, they would have supplied one for the test. I think the 1LE would still come out on top even against the Boss. Maybe the LS would do better with it's R-comp tires...

Much rather have a BOSS than a 5th gen. I did my time trying to make a GTO fast and won't own another heavy "sports car"

The 1LE won by 2sec over the Boss.

The Boss is worth the money and its superb car. I almost bought one, but Ford didnt have great price on em and the 7% finance is stupid. The 1LE is a steal for the price for what it can do!

It still blows my mind that for as long as the 1LE has been out, there hasn't been a direct video comparison of the 1LE and BOSS 302 LS.
