Overated BOSS Mustangs?
Everything I read and everyone I talk to says that the BOSS Mustangs, particularly the BOSS 429, were the pinacle of vintage Mustang performance.
Upon discovering some numbers in a recently purchased book, it seems that the 428 SCJ Mach 1 and the GT500 both outperform any of the Boss Mustangs acclelartion wise. The fastest BOSS (according to the book MUSTANG, 35th ANNIVERSARY) was the 351 which ran 5.8 seconds 0-60 and the 1/4 mile in 14.1. Meanwhile, the 428 Mach ran 5.5 0-60 and the 1/4 in 14.0, and the 69 GT500 ran 0-60 in 5.5 and the 1/4 in 13.8. Furthermore the vaunted BOSS 429 was running 6.2 0-60 and 14.09... Why then, are BOSS's considered by most people to be the "racers choice" of vintage 'Stangs? Just common misperception? ------------------ 98 Mustang coupe 3.8L V6 87 Mustang GT hatchback 5.0L V8 87 Bronco XLT 4bbl 351W My mom drives a 99 Mustang GT convertable. |
