not when the actual price of a Boss, when you add in the outrageous markup, is $85k-$100k.

i don't think the cams are different in the Boss.
the Boss actually loses 10 lbs of torque vs the GT.
the redline is 7500 vs 7000. which accounts for some of the HP gain.

theres a couple members here, and I know a couple people that contacted the smaller dealerships that won the lottery to get the vehicles. I'm not saying there isn't going to be any dealerships marking them up, but you can't say that they all are either.

the standard GT already runs toe to toe with the M3, therefore the Boss should easily crush the M3
