trading 2008 Z06 for 2013 Boss

[Boss3o2]

I need to get a run in with a boss.... this thread is making my head hurt.

Why? Your typical method of 3 quick honks, and jumping the gun isn't a real race.

P.S - I have no respect for idiots like yourself, who put other people family's at risk with your street light "cool guy" wannabe racer act.

That's one sweet ride :beer:

Who the hell are you crazy?

I would watch myself if I was you with your buthurt insults...

Get back to the hole from where you crawled from :kaboom:

Damn, sure a lot of haters for a guy who wants to trade a Z for the Boss. Totally different cars with totally different attitudes. Going from Top-dog to Underdog is always better in my humble opinion.

Anyone with a Z and a Boss want to chime in?

uh, did you read the thread? I've had 2 C6Z's and a Boss, went into deep detail between the 2 cars.

No, not crazy. Just a person who lost a best friend, a long with his 2 children (3, and 9 yrs. old) after being hit by someone who was street racing at 120+ MPH and lost control. Maybe you should take my advice, and thank me later. It's always those who think they are invulnerable, that learn the hard way....

Be a man, and respect this community by doing what most of us do. Which is - take our enjoyment/hobby to the track.

To the OP of this thread. Sorry to get off-topic. To get back on topic:

I can assure you, that the new Boss 302 will put a smile on your face - everytime you set foot in it.

I have a 2012 Boss 302 and i love it, to me its the best all around street car made. I drag race so it has been great. My car went 11.70 at 122mph with a JMS tune steeda cold air and drag radials (stock exhuast). I have since put a Vortech V-3 supercharger on the car, had Monty at JMS tune it. Car made 656 rwhp and 476rwtq. I went to Crappy old Gulfport Dragway and ran 10.68 at 134mph with a 163 60ft. I drove it there and back home. I would say Ford has there shit together on this car. I have 2 freinds with 09 c6zo6 and they are fine ass car and run like a rape ape, they both love there cars but freak out when we hook up on the street and track. They paid alot more then i did even adding my supercharger in the factor.

question to both of you guys. have you guys bounced off the rev limiter on the Boss?

 

[svteezy]

Stock clutch, stock 3.73 gears and 12.50x28x15 ET street tires (not radials). I did buy a twin disc ram clutch for later, but stock clutch is doing good right now. I like the 3.73s i don't plan to change them. We planning a trip to Hattisburg soon, that track hooks way better we should get high 40s or low 50s there. Thanks Burin4

To answer Ihatepotholes yes I have hit the rev limiter in both stock form and with the blower which is 8400rpm now. Monty ran it to 8000 on the dyno, but I shift at 7600.

this is on stock motor?

 

[svteezy]

Yes! JMS has it on there web site youtube page under blown boss (dyno pull). Check it out.

 

[Loosescrews]

I WANT A BOSS!!! All of you should be freaking sales people!!

 

[dtheo]

SVTEEZY, can you post vids and pics?

 

[svteezy]

I will try to get a video loaded. We were at the local 1/8 mile track where it ran 6.55 at 103mph with 1.60 60ft. This track is only 600 feet so its 60ft short of true 1/8 mile. It skated all way down the track. I got some new lower control arms (double adjustable) to put on so I can really set the pinion angle to get bite. Looking to get some 1.50 60ft times. I will also get some pictures loaded later to tonight. BOSS 302 ALL THE WAY!!

 

[burnin4]

question to both of you guys. have you guys bounced off the rev limiter on the Boss?

Yes, both at the drag strip and on the dyno. I have my rev limit set at 7650, and it makes power on the dyno all the way to 7650. I datalog everything on the dyno and at the strip, then have Monty make any necessary changes. He is great with looking at my files, making changes, and immediately returning a new file. So far there havent been any concerns with spinning this motor to 8k.

 

[svteezy]

Here is mine at the 1/8 mile track. We didnt get any 1/4 mile videos. But you can do the math...

I am selling my '06 Z06 for either a '13 Boss or '13 GT500..... I am leaning toward the Boss... I have had my Z06 since new and it will be missed. But I need a back seat now and have owned 4 Mustangs over the years. So I will be back in the saddle again!
