He has had our 620hp, Brembo and Nitron triple adjustable e92 on track a few times as well. Very good shoe.
So, when working at AM he took a new GT and Boss out on the track quite a few times. He maintains that a Mustang GT will absolutely hang with the e92M on a track assuming drivers are equal. He feels the Boss would def have a solid advantage. One guys opinion, but a credible one in my opinion.
The new Mustang should def have a nice advantage over the e9x M on track. M4? We will see!
Side note: the Boss302 has a 7500 rpm redline. With a tune many people are running them to 8200. The 302R has a factory 8400 rev limit. 11:1, 444 hp, 4 cam variable timing etc etc. Its an amazing and deadly reliable engine.
I can't wait to drive the new Mustang!

I agree with him. I've driven by buddies 2013 Boss with the red key. It is an awesome car. The current M cars don't have anything for it in terms of performance. It only cost $42k too. I like the feel and cockpit lay out so much better in the BMW's though. They feel more confident even though they aren't. It is so difficult to explain. I know that makes me seem like such a blind fan boy. I want a Boss and an e90 M3 among other cars too. I'll likely end up with a four door M something though next as I'm really starting to dig kicking peoples butt with a four door.
