Look again. It holds over 400ftlb's for a long time. Not to mention that once it's out of first its maybe gonna drop 1000-1500rpm between shifts and that is a sweet spot of that engine so don't sell it short just yet.

The weight will be within a hundred pounds or so and the R will probably be lighter than the Boss.
I think your under-estimating the benefits of high revs and a broad power-band in an engine designed for the track. It's not just the peak numbers that matter.

Exactly!!! Ford loves to over gear the mustang and I'm sure they will do the same to match the engine's power band. This car will walk away from a stock SS given both cars have good drivers. Personally I'd rather have a lt1 poweband but for a track car you can't deny the high revs. Just look at how fast some imports are with lower HP but super high revs compared to other cars.
