Accessibilty. With the boss you had to be on your game to get it out of the car. The IRS allows a broader range of capability with the car. Also, ride quality.

Mustang on cover of Road and Track and Car and Driver.
The Road and Track article said they were informed by Ford that the base mustang would beat the boss around the track. Just think what the 5.0 is going to do if that weren't to good to be true. They commented on the looks being too middle of the ground Euro/American and the performance numbers would be key towards sales.

v6
"its also worth mentioning that chief engineer Dave Pericak said during our viewing that he wanted the base mustang to beat the Boss around the track. 3.7 V-6 remains the base engine"
Guess I hyped it up a bit in my first post, would vs want. Be one hell of a feat if they did and have them Alpha platform ready for sure if they did.

I can see the performance pack beating the boss, but not a bare bones V6 base.

During the recent 2015 Mustang interview on Jay Leno's garage with the Mustang Chief Engineer, he said that the V6 was 300HP (I think that's the same from 2014). I doubt your going to see suspension improvements make up 240HP delta to the '12/'13 Boss 302's.
