Other then the Automatic being very annoying (rental car) I felt it had better balance then then Boss. 200lbs less weight on the nose of the car made a dramatic driving difference. It wasn't as fast (obviously) but it was nicer to drive and less jumpy. And still plenty fast. Oh and I averaged 31.5mpg on a twisty road for 2200miles. And I wasn't driving it trying to get good mileage. My friends Boss is lucky to do 18mpgs on the interstate. Plus the V6 with the performance pack can be had for around $25k where the boss is over 40k.
The V6 is an incredible bargain, no doubt about it. You can pick one up for $20k and go from there just adding take-off parts from Bosses, GTs, and GT500s. Of course, whatever aftermarket suspension stuff works for the V8s usually works for the V6s, too.
The biggest limiting factor for people buying them is that people think they're buying some secretary's car because it's a V6. That means a lot of people miss out on a great car.
I know how it goes because I own a '00 V6 myself that makes GT whp, has Cobra brakes, Mach 1 suspension, etc... And it cost relatively little to do it.
Very interesting that you see it that way, too. It's true though, when you think about it... You could buy 2 V6s for the price of a BOSS.
Haven't done a track day since pre-kids.
