Default Took the Boss 302 to Eagle Canyon Raceway for my first track day

tons of fun, had shifting issues late in the day as the temps on track were above 100 and i am taking in the car to have it checked out. the clutch refused to fully release and felt spongy. anyway, this sums it up - officially a track *****.

Stay on the outside of those corners, hug the apex and let the car drift to the outside... Oh, and look ahead on the track, not at the corner...

that track is a bit different, the order of the day was stay wide on a bunch of the corners and give up entry speed for exit speed.

Damn, that looks like a whole lot of fun; despite what anyone else says, your car is sticking to the road like white on rice. That Boss suspension looks like it is living up to what Ford said it is meant to do; rule the track and outdo the M3 and for under more than $10K.

I say its time for a Mustang vs M3 rematch; this time the Boss vs the M3

Looks like fun Shane. I hope the dealer is cool about warranty work.

I agree. And they had better honor the warranty because he is driving it like it is designed to be driven. He did not anything it like supercharging it way above its limits, he did not abuse anything such as placing the stock parts beyond their designed capabilities, and so on.
