This forum is pretty dead, but i'll introduce myself anyways.
I have always liked the bosses, and heard their engines were some of the strongest from the factory, but never really thought about getting one myself. Ive had 2 S550's, one I built to 850rwhp with a Whipple and E85. I've had a Terminator swapped mach 1, and my most recent car, a 2013 GT500. The GT500 had to leave for some unforeseen reasons, and I was actually in the market for another when I came across this car in the Boss 302 owners group on FB. Guy traded it in on a Rubicon due to his family growing, which is understandable. When I picked it up it only had 6500 miles on it, and he was the original owner! it came with the track key, car cover and owners kit. So cool.
After putting a few hundred miles on the car all I can say, is that the Boss is the 8th wonder of the world and a very overlooked car in terms of pure fun and is a true drivers car. Definitely not the fastest thing (
which isn't hard to change with a call to lethal performance) but holy cow, the Rev's, the 3.73 and Torsen Differential, the Recaro's and 180mph Speedometer all make for a car you can really tear up some backroads with, without the car breaking a sweat.
Ive always modded the shit out of most of my cars but this one will stay mostly stock for a while, I did order a GT500 spoiler, Valance, and Quad tips for it but those are subtle changes. I Really wanted to add a PD blower to the car but I think I will opt for a nice Vortech JT next year so I can keep the Boss Manifold intact. I do a lot of half mile racing and I think this car would be a good candidate to take the stock motor record which stands at 178. We shall see, going to take it slow, and maybe even pick up another. Really impressed with this thing so far
