[QUOTE="WhiteKnite, post: 12453055, member: 144269"] This is what I've been able to scrounge up. For Boss 2012-2013: In total, 4000 examples will be assembled. That sum includes 3250 base Bosses and 750 Laguna Seca editions. For 2012 GT500: Total Production: 4834 (Includes 9 pre-production units) 3929 Coupes 905 Convertibles As far as handling cars vs power (GT500), the whole point about straight line power is that you can out-pull most cars no mater how good they handle. Of course the best of both worlds is preferable. Not everyone can afford a $95K stock GTR (king of the street and track, IMO). But even with more power it's up to the driver to know how to handle it. So, on the street there might be many drivers that let you pass because you're "crazier" than they are. :D JohnW#88's comment about killing a soccer mom comes to mind. :cryying: But on the track, we're allowed to push the car way faster than we'd normally be comfortable knowing that there's a lack of soccer moms, telephone poles, slow poke commuter cars, pedestrians, road-kill, curbs just to name a few road hazards. So, to that person that "beats" me on the street (me letting them go), I say to them, ok lets go on a road course and see who breaks better approaching apexes at 90-120MHP? Their reply might be, "What does breaking have anything to do with racing?" My reply? > lol :D By the way, you're correct on the purpose built design of the GT500 vs the Boss 302. I see the GT500 as power cruiser. From light to light, you'd beat me no doubt. But that's what the Roush Stage 3 and GT500 are for. Straight line power. Although, the S3 has a better handling package. They're still considered a bit more "cushy (crusier-like)" on the track. [/QUOTE]
