I think the Kardashians could do a better write up on Mustangs than those idiots.

I think the 18" vs 20" wheel was a big factor. 20's may look good on the street, but they will lose, most every time, in any performance comparison. The lack of sidewall flex reduces traction in a straight line as well as in the curves.
You also have unspung weight to consider. Put the boss wheel/tire combo on the Roush and run them again. I think it would be much closer. That's my $.02

Don't really care for the American Top Gear but some of it was ok. This was the episode;

My bad....the boss has 19's. Still has more bite than 20's.

HAHAHAHAH!!! My thoughts EXACTLY!

It's no surprise there..You should check out the Royal Purple Battle of the Forums on youtube. A Shelby GT beat every single car that showed and this includes a Viper and a CTS-V.

On a side note...British Top Gear review of the GT500 is dismal. They basically called the car worthless in every aspect but straight line blasts.

UK Top Gear gave great review of the Boss 302.

My $.02 on this is if you can't even spell the name of the car (ROUSH, there's no C in it) on the show, they aren't worth listening to.

None of those tests pushed either car to show what they could do.

bbc top gear uk is the best show on television FTW

Perspective is a funny thing...
I always have a smile watching that show before I flush. LOL.
