What method did Ford use to test the Boss 302 at the ring?
Key point to remember is GM used a slower testing method back in 2005.....yeah 6 yrs ago.....and ran the Z06 from a
stop.
The current widely accepted method is to do flying laps which GM does now for all it's tested cars.
Regardless, if you want to compare apples to apples you'll slot the new BOSS 302 vs the current Z06. The BOSS gets destroyed and left for dead that's a fact, the Z06 costs more.....you get what you pay for, speed costs money.
The bottom line is that it shows how much the Z06 had "left in the tank." I remember how astonished everyone is about the chasis tuning on the Boss 302, how close it is to a Z06.....with these new results you can get a picture of just how far ahead GM truely is with the C6 Corvette.....not as close as you might have hoped.
