[QUOTE="ShaneCobra74, post: 16999312, member: 166246"] Well, it was kind of a disappointment. I came out of a 615/598 whipple coupe to the stock Boss. I thought my tastes had matured to more of the refinement found in the S197, particularly the Boss. Nope, still like rowdy and raw. Like what rockyred already said, the low rpm torque of a blower car is where its at. The Boss isn't a bad car, but to get the most out of it, you have to run it up in rpms, otherwise it feels like a normal car. The MT 82 transmission limitations are real at higher rpms and mine had < 1000 miles on it. Also, I feel like I could tinker with the Cobra more... IRS build, clutch upgrade, blower swap, drop it.... all sorts of mods; which I like to do. I felt like the Boss was a balanced car that should probably be left alone. Lots of plastic engine pieces on the Boss engine, too... intake, valve covers and so forth... nothing to really personalize. Oh, btw.. if you do a clutch swap, you are likely to need to hook up the car to do a relearn of the crank position sensor. So you need Geek Squad and some sort of scan tool now to change a clutch. Test drive one first. Some guys swear by them, but I bet they haven't driven an 03-04 Cobra. Nice car, very solid feeling and powerful... but we are spoiled with the gear-head value in the 03-04 Cobra. [/QUOTE]
