I don't imagine many people have had the opportunity to drive both a current Roush Stage 2 and a Boss, but I thought I'd ask. Given the choice, which would you recommend. Primary criteria is handling, cornering and braking--rather than straight line performance.

I think the Roush Stage 2 has a little more suspension tuning than a boss. I am by no means an expert on this subject. Im not sure who works on the suspension of the boss but I think Jack Roush JR dials in the suspension on the Roush's. I think the Roush has a better braking system and more power. I know more power isnt always better. In my opinion the Roush has more effort put into it. Id probably go with the Roush. But in no way am I taking anything away from the Boss. I think the Boss out performed the Mustang GT and GT500 on a road coarse. If Im wrong Im sure someone will correct me.

What about the new RTR Mustang? I know it is supposed to be specially made for handling.

Top gear tested a new supercharged roush against a boss with over 100 less horsepower and the boss won.

Don't you have a Z06? That's my next choice one I find one for the right price.

Yes, I have a C6Z06. But, I have been without a Mustang for 5 years and I am getting itchy to park a Stang next to the Z.

Boss hands down. It's a very nice car from the factory.

Agree 100%, and I think the Boss would hold it's value a bit better than a Roush.
