Really great video. Great for us who stick to the old Boss, as well as for those who went to the new car.

They still like the Boss alot and still note it has lots of personality and still loved and still a very fast capable car. In fact they mentioned that the guy who owns both the GT350 they are testing and the Boss said the Boss is still his favorite.

Kind of cool the Boss is now "old school".

BTW 3 years time in the car industry is a looong time.

Does the center console really vibrate under certain RPM in all GT 350's?

I personally do not know but a lot of GT350 owners have made a comment about a vibration noise from the console.

Their conclusions regarding both cars were about what I was expecting.

Interesting they now call the Boss "old school" (which is desireable imho) and say it's still very fast, capable with presence and personality and the best Mustang of the previous generations of classic Mustang formula.

The new GT350 is a completely different animal. A euro receipe with an American nameplate.

As to the Boss sounds like the makings of a future classic.

I think they call it "old school" simply because of the stick axle.... when developed the GT350 will have the boss covered, but let's face it, they are currently still competitive and 3 or 4 years is a lifetime in auto racing so the Boss has nothing to be ashamed about.

The Boss is the Boss for sure, but the GT350 brings our Mustangs to the next level. Rear suspension updated.....5.2L engine with 8250 rpm Red line...I love my Boss but you GT350 guys have your fun!
