I think it will be interesting once a tuner gets hold of the trackey tune to play with. I expect that in the Ford setup there are many changes that aftermarket tuners can't or don't know how to access (abs, traction control, steering, basically all of the vehicle dynamics stuff). We all know that the aftermarket can gain alot of horsepower that Ford has left on the table and I think the combination of the two will be pretty dramatic.
It has also come to my attention that Ford wanted to certify the Boss at 8000 rpm but didn't for whatever reason (probably the extreme durability testing requirements). As most tuners are setting up the GTs to run 7500 rpm and the Boss has stronger internals, this will be another area that should make for a big performance increase.
It will be exciting to see it all transpire.
Anyone with some Photoshop skills that can put those BBS wheels on a Competition Orange/Black car? I think those are the track wheels I'm going to buy, but I really love the look of the black factory wheels. I'm just not sure how the platinum will look.Mark said:
You're probably right they will look good. I'd just be interested in seeing them before I pull the trigger. Any idea what the GT500 track wheels weigh? The BBS are 20 lbs which is pretty light especially at that price. I'm really looking for 18s for the track. The $500 I'd save on the wheels would be up in smoke in the higher tire cost after my first few track days lol.5 DOT 0 said:I think those wheels would look good on any Mustang, they are one of my favorites. You can also get these wheels and they are 19's. And I bet these are less expensive than the BBS.

If you are modding then I wouldn't worry abouy warranty then.ArizonaGT said:I'd bet that with the intake and CNC heads people will be pushing close to 500hp at the flywheel with a good tune.
R.I.P. your warranty, though
