Stang is still running the archaic rear axle,you will never have sports car handling like the Corvette,quote any car mag review you want,Vette wins every time!!
For instance....

OP,
Can you have both? In other words, is it possible to buy the Boss 302 while keeping your Vette?
If someday I want to trade my Vette for another sports car, I will have both for a while. This is just in case if I want to go back to Vette, I don't get a hit on 2 set of trade-ins... In my case it is very likely that I never get apart from my Vette.

I work for Ford and have driven the new Mustang a lot.
The engine is much better then previous Mustangs. It is very fast in a straight line and pulls very hard, but if you like the track, forget it.
It still has the antiquated solid live rear axle. It is very easy to upset the rear end over the smallest little bumps in corners.
Definitely not in the same class as the C6 on the track.
Have you driven one yet for comparison?

One thing to consider is that the Boss 302 will be a relatively low production car. Just like when the Shelby GT500 came out, you had to pay about $10k OVER sticker to get one. I imagine it will be the same way with the Boss 302.....but I could be wrong. On the other hand, they're practically giving new Vettes away.
If it was me though, I'd buy a used Z06 before I bought a new Mustang.....for about the same money.

I was into mustangs for many years, but its still a mustang and not a vette.

Here is something to think about. The 302 is pretty quick at a track.

I currently own a '07 C6 with the Z51. I do spend a bit of time at the track with it and really enjoy it. I am however interested in the new Boss 302 with the n/a high revin 302. Of course, it will be tracked as well.
I do understand that I will probably be flamed by some for thinking of changing to a different car, but that is ok. I am not brand specific as I own several kinds of brands and I just love cars.

I have had 4 Mustang GT's in my younger years. They were the best bang for the buck cars back then! But know, Ford wants the same kind of money for a Shelby, Cobra, GT500...whatever they call their new and brightest Mustang, as Chevy wants for a Vette. In the end, it's still a Mustang, no matter how you dress it up, it will never = a Vette! Now that I'm "grown' and can afford a real sports car, I choose CORVETTE! Not bashing the Mustangs here, I'm sure they are better overall cars than past models, but it's like buying a Hyunai Gensis, it's still a Hyundai! No way will I ever pay 50+ K for a Hyundai or a Mustang!
