American v8's work well in America for interstate roll racing. Now, my F stock Shelby mustang was as fast as my b stock rx8, so it American iron can turn. In scca road racing the mustangs and camero have done more than hold their own over the last couple of years.

Don't know about a 1M, but from a dig a tuned 135i can take a lightly modded Boss by a car length or so. From a roll, the Boss wins. A 1M vs Boss around the track, who can say? Probably depends on the track. Both nice cars with different missions.

2007 Shelby was fast and had a lot of prep work from the factory, so if you are talking stock vs stock on just a set of r comps you may be surprised.
Now, mark has reported that stu prepped e36s are not as fast at autox as the new stock 1m and that surprised me.

The 1m weights about 3300lbs. That mustang will not weight that much more.

From dead stop - Boss, rolling - 1M. Just my .02 worth as a owner of both. |

Mustangs never ever win any tests on this side of pond. Same with almost all US muscle cars. You might want to wake up from under your rock! :-) Sorry!

I'm Just going by that, as well as personal experience with a friends car. In the videos its a tuned 5.0 but I figure the boss doesn't make too much more power stock for stock, so a boss with only a light tune seems comparable. Though I haven't had much personal experience with either the 1M or the boss so I'm not the best person to ask :P

Secondly, do a bit of research on the SCT tunes for Mustangs and you'll find alot of people tune them for anything from better "noise" to better gas mileage. Hard to say what either car had done. I am talking about stock vs. stock. I've had both on tracks. I have 6,600 miles on Boss and 2,500 on 1M and I can tell you that I would NOT bet against the Boss in a 1M in ANY speed contast. Now, as for fit, finish and features, the 1M wins hands down for a $45,000 car. But don't be fooled, no matter what side of the pond your on, the Boss is a very serious speed machine and track car. Besides, people from Sweden only understand driving fast thru woods and snow and believe a Muscle car is a turbo Saab! Kidding! |

Nice to see so many 1M's around the NC area. In Charlotte myself and it seems like the numbers are growing every day. I go up to WF games with my buddy all the time. Since we're in the same area, we should all get together and go to a track day at VIR or CMP together sometime (preferably VIR). PM me and let's get something together!
