did you upgrade the clutch and shifter before you started beating on it?
yep!

His car has many many passes on that glass tranny!!
Have you ever noticed that people have to cherry pick videos for fast manuals that survived, while there are fast auto vids everywhere.
In both of those vids, his car is on the edge of out of control. If he had the auto, his car would be faster in the 1/4 mile without all the a$$ puckering.
yep!
^ this guy right here is trading a BOSS 302, for a regular 5.0... only because of the automatic transmission. That's gotta tell you something...
I have a good friend that lives local to me. He has a 2013 Boss Laguna Seca 302 and a 2011 GT500 in his stable. The Boss has less than 5,000 miles on it, and the transmission is already scheduled for a rebuild.
The MT82 is SO FAIL!

Maybe it was more of a QC problem with Ford!!
And instead of getting rid of his MT82 for faster times, he is upgrading to twins!!!
Good god.
Yea, that tells me he wants to go fast only in a straight line.^ this guy right here is trading a BOSS 302, for a regular 5.0... only because of the automatic transmission. That's gotta tell you something...
Something you drag queens will probably whine about.
dat' stable... that dude can drive a different beast each day of the week lolor the lack there of....
Make sure you post the video when he puts that thing into the wall. He is almost sideways with his current power setup.
He is wealthy, doesn't beat up on his cars, and they live in a nice large shop.
2011 GT500
2013 Boss LS 302
1991 GMC Syclone truck - 6,000 original miles - like new condition
2004 Viper RT-10
2005 SRT-10 Viper truck
Yea, that tells me he wants to go fast only in a straight line.
I know there are people here who bought a Boss just for drag purposes, but I would've just got a reg 5.0 with an auto so I can be as fast as the top fuel guys. :lol:
Seriously, trading in Boss for a 5.0 is an easy choice. The 5.0 isnt that much slower than a Boss, also if you dont want a manual the boss/gt500 dont come in autos, so 5.0 it is. Also get back mod money too.
To me this is just like swapping the IRS for a solid in the '03/'04 Cobras.
I'm just glad Ford is getting with the times and putting an IRS indefinitely in the next Mustang. Something you drag queens will probably whine about.
and the forecast is calling for some funky shit on the next mustang...

Yeah, it's not looking very promising lolThe forecast is foggy with a chance of ugly.
Yeah that he's absolutely crazy. Makes zero sense, financially or whatever. You could swap in an auto for cheaper.

My Goal with the Boss was to tranny swap but I am also in the middle of buying a new house so the extra couple hundred dollars i will save a month was the most important thing. So i traded the boss down to a gt with a auto and i have a new tranny with no problems and a lower monthly payment and insurance.
A shop here in sa( max v) did an autoswap into a boss and that thing became the fastest boss on earth lol. It's an amazing machine. Best mustang shop btw!
