[QUOTE="svt1111, post: 11435205, member: 88172"] I had a 2007 Z06. I now have the 2012 Boss 302. I agree with what Burnin said: The Boss is at least as much fun to drive around on the street because it flat puts the power down! I don't know why, maybe its the combination of the Torsen rear end, the decent stock tires, and the linear power curve, but the car rocks on the street. The short gearing in the trans, coupled with the 3.73 rear, and the torquey, revvy motor make it a blast on the street. When I drove my Z06, it was hard to get any traction through 1st and 2nd. You could make it hook, but it took a high level of concentration. Furthermore, at the top of 2nd you were doing 90 mph when it finally did hook, which meant you couldn't enjoy the car really at all, as going 90 mph on a back road is going to be one heck of a ticket. By comparison, the Boss is more fun, to me, because I can hammer 1st and 2nd to 7,500 rpm and I'm only doing 60 mph or so before you shift to third. And believe me, anyone who thinks a car that has traction must be slow, they are not! That's what I was afraid of coming from a few other high powered cars before the Boss. All my other cars killed the tires from a roll, which actually got tiresome much to my shock and surprise. The Boss is the lowest HP car I've had in a long time, and honestly one of the funnest as it is so nicely balanced and once again, I can actually accelerate and not roast tires all the time. The Z is an incredible car. I'd love to own another one someday. But overall the Boss will absolutely put the same size smile on your face every time you turn the key, despite being a little slower overall. I find as the years go on that going fast is a lot of fun, but a car must possess more than just flat out speed to fun ALL the time. The Boss makes the right sounds, has the right ride and handling, and looks awesome enough that it will push all the right buttons for any real car guy, no matter what brand loyalty they may have. I can definately relate to going from the Z to a Boss after having owned them both. The Boss is also a lot easier to live with than the Z too, due to the ground clearance and ease of getting into and out of. So, OP, you WILL NOT regret owning your Boss. I guarantee it. [/QUOTE]
