I will say the differance with the Boss is it's not only quick in the corners, it is extremely quick in a straight line with regular 1/4 mile times in the 12:30s, which is where most of the casual racing will be done.
Reread the thread as the 1LE has beat the Boss in test on a course.

But the Boss was "built" for the road course not the 1/4 mile. And Ford put together a 1 hour TV program telling the world that it was their best ever.

Ford rested with the Mustang due to the fact it had no competition for years. They ramped it back up once they had to compete again, but by then it was too late to add IRS to the aging chassis.
