How far behind in performance is the 14 Boss L/S vs the GT350?
A driver's car

With hour budget OP, you can easily afford a hellcat, a 13/14 GT500 or a ZL1.
Perfectly suited for what you want. Although not sure why you want another car, when your 04 Cobra is more than adequate for the task.

Light years.
350 is THE best drivers car in the muscle car category (Followed closely by the 6g 1LE).
I owned a Boss 302 Laguna Seca and now own a 2015 Mustang GT and feel my 2015 is far ahead. The GT350 is indeed lightyears ahead. I'll be getting a GT350 very soon.
I think you should take a second look at a C6Z06
Some good choices suggested already. While I'd be in favor of the GT350 or the 13/14 GT500 and a couple mods, I'd definitely also drive a 2017 Camaro ZL1 if that's your style.
My Cobra has 137,000 miles on it and has burnt me once already. It stranded me on a road trip on the way to las vegas. Rear end went out and I was stuck on a corner in Winslow Arizona. I have put $8,000 into the car over the last three years. I love it and won't be getting rid of it but I just don't know if I trust it enough to go cross country again.
you guys suggesting the Hellcat as a "drivers" car are ridiculous. A damn VW GTI would beat the Hellcat on a twisty back road.
If you want to go outside the box, you can get a leftover new or lightly used ATS-V for your budget. Still has the option of a 6 speed and they move out stock, but tune and dp puts you at almost 500rwhp. Great handling, comfortable, and you definitely don't seem the often.
except a GT350 is slow as shit, and doesnt make any power......
I'd go with a Viper, personally.
WTF are you talking about?
Really? I don't consider 12.1 @ 119 and 470ish rwhp slow and weak for a stock vehicle...
I do.....when the hellcats that come into my shop run low 11s as they sit, and when I do a couple bolt ons and give them back, they run 10s
Unless you're going to be tracking the vehicle, much FASTER vehicles can be had for the money GT350s fetch. I would buy a viper, Trinity car (13-14 GT500), CTS-V, C6z06, etc etc. The GT350s just arent powerful cars.
Ah I see, you have definitely gotten your money's worth out of the car. Lol.
Thing is... the OP's definition of a "drivers car" is a little different. If you read what the OP is asking for out of the car, you will understand why people are suggesting cars like the HC.
What are these left overs selling for?
350 is pretty peppy for what it is. Best handling car I have driven. Definitely a real "drivers car", just not a good fit for the OP's definition of "drivers car".
An 08+ viper will do OP nicely.
He wants a highway car that makes power and is fun to drive.
Viper fits the bill nicely......
GT350 does not.
Will NEVER.
Sorry guys, hate to break hearts.
Ok I'm glad someone else said it before I got to the end.
I think an ATS-V with a manual would be a nice choice.
Highway rollers aren't really drivers cars though lol.
