The Boss looks like more of a race car with the splitter IMO but they both look awesome.
Hate the crappy vinyl on the hood of the 1LE though provided it is vinyl, regardless I hate the look of it. Both look great though!

Its like choosing between a hot blonde and a hot brunette....I'd get in both of them...and then I'd take the cars for a drive. This version of the Camaro is probably my favorite one so far. I'm not a fan of the ZL1 front or the hood and the Camaro factory ground effects look too bulky. This car is just perfect I think.

Not sure if I like the giant splitter on the mustang, but I think the paint scheme on the Boss looks better.

I like the non-Laguna Seca Boss better than the LS version.

As a whole, the camaro looks better than the mustang.
But in this specific configuration the boss looks way better than the camaro 1LE.

The black hood with the intersecting hash stripes looks forced and pretty much kills the look and has aftermarket written all over it.

The splitter on the mustang is massive but it is a track car and it's justified where there really isn't any justification for the design choices on the camaro.

I'd smash that monster splitter into everything. It's way too big for street use (and unnecessary).

But for track use, the Boss is a great package.
Hopefully the 1LE will be better.

And that would be why the splitter is an offroad only splitter not under warranty on public roads...

Meh to both. The 2013 Boss looks much better than the 2012 does. They got rid of most of the eyesore contrasting colors.

Not a fan of big scoop, spoilers, red roof and wheels. Camaro, but I'd take a boss in dark blue, no frill's on the outside.

All the '13 Mustangs have that look.

On topic, I think the Boss looks better, but that color combo is hideous. I'll take the Orange and Black Boss please.

The black Boss pictured above is a Laguna Seca version. The regular Boss doesn't have that splitter.
I prefer the 1LE's look simply because I'm partial to the Camaro.

I hate to say it, the BOSS. It looks more like a track car although I've been ready for Ford to change the body. The 1LE looks sharp but could be better. I prefer the Camaro over a Mustang any day.

I am sure it does, but it does not take away from the uglyness of it.

No offense guys but that is actually my favorite look for the Boss 302 LS or any Mustang for that Matter. I sat in one just like this and honestly it felt just as solid even in the inside as any BMW M3 and felt very track worthy, but I still love my Camaro SS as well.
