Well, I paid for my Boss 302S race car in June last year, got it in December, just in time to put it away for the winter. I spent the better part of last week prepping the car (beyond the big mechanical race prep performed by Rehagan Racing in November). The prep work was mostly customizing things for the driver's personal preference and protecting the car from stones' etc. with film and wire mesh. I took her our for the maiden voyage on Friday last week at Neslon Ledges (where the Ford GT was 24-hour endurance tested by Mark and the guys). It was a very cold day, but the tires gripped. The car sounds amazing and ran spectacularly. After several laps getting used to the car, I was able to feel quite comfortable in the car. It feels big, and is very "compliant", even "plush" without feeling soft like a street car. At Nelson, that's a big plus for getting around the bumps fast. The track day steward, Fred is real Mustang fan, and went nuts when he saw the car running. He called his buddy who owns a nearby country Ford Dealership to come out as a spectator to see this new orange beast. Pete, the dealer arrived in his shiny new Laguna Seca to take pictures. I was able to give Pete a ride in our last practice session. I was able to achieve times with him in the right seat that unofficially beat the old SCCA record by two seconds! There are a few things we need to work on to fine tune the car, but I am impressed and look forward to having it in New Orleans.
