The thing that impresses me most on the BOSS is the old school Torsen helical cut differential. It helps this Mustang put power down like no limited slip could ever. Motor Trend got a 2012 BOSS to...

The cut outs were left to be popped out for extra cooling on the track, I think aesthetics weren't really the priority, functionality was.

I know what you are saying, my Corvette wasn't two weeks old and I swapped in Z-51 springs (slightly softer in rear than Z06) which I believe are PERFECT in that chassis, ZO6 bars, and Z06 shocks. I...
