Not exactly a cryptic message...
The 2013 Ford Boss302 package..
yes it is a beast on the track.
on an already better handling car.

the 1LE is nice and fixes some shortcomings of the stock suspension.
but it doesn't come close to the Boss as a track car.

Can we beat them? yes GOOD coilovers and sways and bushings
and you will tear them up.
and and that point you also tear up the 1LE on an SS as well.
the 1LE is a decent starting point. but far from the be all end all of road racing packages.
I'd take a Boss over it any single day of the week.

yeah, they assume a lot and don't have any clue what the 1LE is capable of and deny the obvious. SOME of them gave it respect and the haters don't have any actual knowledge of the car (price/options/reviews).

And what are you basing this on? To my knowledge there has not been a side by side comparison. Sure the boss takes the quarter but these cars are made for turns.

EDIT: Here the 1LE has a faster lap time than a 302 LS... http://fastestlaps.com/tracks/virgin...l_raceway.html

As a matter of fact there is NO ford ahead of it on that list!

not talking about dragging.

talking about SCCA club racing and autocross.

In fairness I edited my post... you may want to look at it again... there is nothing that I have seen that shows any mustang beating a 1LE in the turns.

Haha thanks for that good read

I like the fact that as soon as one of them tries to post any kind of facts about the 1LE, the automatic response is "WELP trade in your Mustang for a 1LE". A lot of uneducated posts on there too

After reading that article I will concede that 2 seconds is a serious win and a fairly neutral test.

good read there.
I had seen that result from the track pack only Stang but the Boss was a beast with the track key.

Doesn't make that much sense as the Boss is lighter has more HP with a world class suspension under it but does sacrifice the IRS for the rigid axle.
Very interesting
