Nevertheless...the Boss Mustang puts up good numbers, and it's surely made some waves...

But I can't wait to see the ZL1 smear it across the pavement...

First let me repeat I'm a GM Camaro fan.
However that being said how is the Boss gimmicky if it puts down great numbers?
And the ZL1 is a very different car. It will also cost at least $10K more. No doubt it's more car, but it cost more as well.
And the track key is brilliant, why? It allows a way around the mileage scenario, yet offers great performance when needed. Think about it.

GM 1 up the Boss. I dare you.
