No Boss 302?

You know, Motor Trend always minimizes a Camaro win over the Mustang. Do you think, for even a minute there weren't a hundred Boss 302 owners who wouldn't have loaned their Mustang to Motor Trend for a feature article? None of them would have guessed at the trouncing their car would have received.

A Camaro 1LE win over a Mustang GT was kinda....expected, but had a Camaro, same day same track, trounced a Boss 302, that would be devastating for Ford, and MT wouldn't do that.

Motor Trend's obvious tendency to favor Ford has been clear for years. Corvette against anything, as an example, loses because of it's seats despite it's huge performance advantage.

Or, why haven't they tested the 1LE against an M3?? I'm waiting for the test of a 427 Z28 against a GT500. From what I've seen, the 1/4 mile match-up might be pretty interesting between these two cars.
