I've had the Boss 302 on both VIR Grand course and on CMP. The 1M I've only had on the Nurbergring, so I won't try to do a complete comparision, but today I drove the Boss after driving the 1M all week.

Both cars are 100% stock and I have driven them on a mix of highway, country roads, city streets, pretty much everywhere.

The best I can do is say the 1M is like driving a Leopard and the Boss is like driving a really pissed off, mad and hungry Grizzly Bear

The 1M is a very civil and well behaved car until you invite the monster out to play by turning off all the nannies and really jumping into the power. It's a great car in every sense of the word and works great for any situation.

The Boss is just a noisy mean-ass car! It's hard not to drive it like a breast. I have the side pipes open and the noise and sheer american muscle looks make it hard to hide anywhere, even in traffic.

I gotta say it may be the best case situation to have both! It's fun to have the guy in the VW behind me taking video of my 1M but it's also fun to have the "locals" givin me the thumbs up when I make the Bear roar.

So if our damn silly elected officials will get their sh!t together and improve the economy, I'll keep both.

Look for track comparo soon.
QOTD!
