If that's the one you have, yes, I'd agree, it's an upgrade. The engine alone is a major achievement.

I'll be interested to see your impressions after hitting the track. I think Ford has suggested settings for the suspension for most tracks in the US too.
yes sir, my boss has all of that but the laguna seca model only adds a front splitter and rear seat delete(ruins the whole point for me) as well as a larger rear spoiler and pzero corsas, but all others being the same....

The motor is really impressive, it likes to rev as much as the s54 did and people have tuned it to rev 8200 already with great results. The torque curve reminds me of the s65 but more of it vs the ls3/7 on off switch.

Unfortunately my track impressions will mean very little b/c I'm such a newb at it....I'm working on that though -_-


Check out the new motor trend best drivers....that article pretty much sums it up....5th out of 11 and the cheapest car there. And like the z4m the handling and character of the vehicle can't be had within this price range....

The only complaint I've heard is that the steering isn't quite on the level of the rest of vehicle. Or is that more of an issue with the "base" (and impressive enough on its own...) GT than with the Boss?

Not quite sure of what others have said but it's definitely spot on for me. I know that the main problems for the GT was nose dive and numb steering for the track, but it definitely looks as though they got that ironed out....not to mention the steering wheel is alcantara wrapped..oh yeah and I optioned for the Torsen rear and recaro seats.

Amzingly the brake pedal feels almost too much like my 997(base model)

All I can say is that all of the reviews weren't exaggerating and that was the only thing I was going off of b/c test drives weren't allowed given it's limited availablity...

Yeah nor am I. Lol. To put it simply it's the m version of a 5.0 gt. But in really limited numbers and the possibility of a collector item. I just bought it to track and drive daily...
