Although, the new gt500 is on G2s. Where we disagree is the increase in power. The gt500 is only slightly faster than the boss ls because it handles WORSE and brakes WORSE than the boss ls. The power is the only thing making it faster.
Agreed. And that doesn't appear to be an easy fix given the inherent limitations in the GT500 setup. That's the point I'm trying to raise.

(iirc, the '12 GT500 rides on F1 G:2's as well when equipped with SVT package)
