Ford Shelby GT500 vs Boss 302 Mustang

Right now in our showroom, we have the '13 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang parked right next to the '13 Ford Mustang Boss 302 for all our customers to feast their eyes upon. But looking at these cars back-to-back lead me to think, "Which one is better?" 

And after doing some research I found a great article from Yahoo writer, Aki Sugawara, on the difference between these two cars. He breaks the specs down here:

CLASSSports carSports car
ENGINE5.0-liter N/A V-85.8-liter supercharged V-8
TRANSMISSION6-speed manual6-speed manual
POWER444 hp662 hp

EMISSIONS7.8 tons CO2/year8.1 tons CO2/year
MILEAGE15/2615/24
BASE PRICE$42,200$54,200
CONSHighway exhaust droneBumpy ride, twitchy rear
PROSThe complete packageAwesome power


He also writes, "Sure the Shelby GT500 has the name and legacy of the late Carroll Shelby behind it, but the Boss 302 is better both as a track car and tourer. If you have $42,200 to spare, it might not even be worth waiting for the IRS model coming in 2014--because "solid" not only describes the Boss 302's rear axle, but the superb execution of the entire car."
