Default Update from GT3 to Boss 302

Used to be an active member on here with a 2010 GT3. Had a Benz in between and now got a 13 Boss 302

I was just beginning tracking when I had the Gt3 so hard to compare them but I have to say the boss is pretty impressive.

Here is a video of me at Willow Springs / Big Willow running a 1:32 Have also run 2:02 at Buttonwillow
Mods: sway bars, springs and hankook R-S3 tires.

Very cool! I personally love the Boss 302 and wanted to buy one this year, however, since I just started my own business I couldn't qualify for a car loan since the banks require 2 years of self employed tax returns.

How does it compare to your GT3 overall? I still want to pick one up maybe next year, the boss is just too cool

Congrats!

From the price and company name ford, haha you know not to expect the same quality as the gt3. But on the track is great fun. I put on sway bars and springs which got rid of any of the under steer it had. The engine is fantastic. Nice amount of torque and smooth to redline.

I've just made the same move from multiple 911's, into a 13 BOSS 302.
Ford has really put together a really great street/track car. I went one step
Further, and added a 12 BOSS LAGUNA SECA, it a rare pre production car #PP0005.
It made the autoshow tour on east coast . I've been able to aquire all the documentation
From Ford, and the company that had it for the tour.

Pretty excited about these cars, and the Boss community out there has been
So much help. Good luck with yours, and I would love to talk to you about your GT3
compared to these. Pm me if you get a chance.
