So what do you think would happen to current gt500 lap times if the new GT500 could equal the handling of the Boss, but have way more horsepower for the straights and better brakes?
His point about the gearing is not moot. Ford has stated that the torque at the wheels in at least first gear will be lower than it is on the current car. If torque at the wheels is less in lower gears, how will it increase traction problems when exiting a turn?

Your questions and comments are point on and I will reply to them as soon as we clear up a few open items. Predicting what happens next is predicated on understanding what is happening now. We can't move forward with this discussion until these questions are answered .
1. Why does the BOSS LS perform so much better than the GT with only 40 more HP?
2. Why is the GT500 only .4% faster than the BOSS LS even though it has 25% more power?
Here is a hint -- The answer to question 1 is found in the BOSS GT equipment and I have already posted the answer to number 2 in this thread.
