    So whose getting a 2012 Boss 302?

    I think they will be had at MSRP, but dealers are trying for adm now. One quoted me 10K and I laughed. $43K for the Base plus Recaros/torsion is not that far from $48K for a GT500 SVT, that I have seen a couple of times. I think the MSRP on the 500 was 51-53. I will not order one yet, but...

    So whose getting a 2012 Boss 302?

    You know, I believe all the people with 2007 GT500's with 3 miles will discourage this from happening. I believe a 2007 GT500 with 3 miles is probably worth $30K tops now. (I would much rather have a 2010 with 5k for 38-40.) As long as Ford builds better Mustangs, there is no value in keeping...

    So whose getting a 2012 Boss 302?

    My local dealer is not getting one and I have talked with a couple of out of the area dealers and believe I can order what I want. I started doing open track events in 2010 with my 2007 and I am hooked completely and think this car would be perfect. I also love the 2011 GT500 with the SVT...

    Driving courses vs. autocross

    Drove VIR last May with the SVT Cobra club and there is nothing like it. I cannot image running in circles or in a parking lot is anything like driving Virginia International Raceway. I had a great instructer and he helped me learn alot about my car and about my own driving. I highly...

    EBC Brakes?

    Interesting thoughts that I had not considered. I never really pushed my brakes hard last time, but wanted to this time and I had some vibration coming down from 120 late in the day. The Baer decereators and the ebc brakes seem to be good for the price, but I may just buy stock now.

    EBC Brakes?

    I am going to do my second driver education event this month at VIR and need to upgrade my brakes. I have been looking at the dimpled and slotted brakes from EBC that Summitt currently sells. I will retain the stock calipers for this conversion and it looks like I can get the rotors and pads...

    2000 Cobra R question

    I was at VIR last month and there were 5-6 of them running on track, even one at my hotel. Contact the svt cobra club and I am sure they will steer you right if you are really interested.

    CAI/Tune...or...Gears?

    My car is stock with the CAI. I do have flowmasters and it is lowered with eibachs and ford racing shocks and struts but they mean nothing for what we are talking about. He emailed me the tune. I do not run at the strip but maybe two or three times a year. Last year we went to Bristol...

    CAI/Tune...or...Gears?

    Tough decision for a fox body car and I would prob do gears, but for these cars it is an easy decision. Bamachips/American Muscle--you will be happy! Doug tuned my car and with a CAI and his tune it picked up 8 tenths and 6 mph thru the qtr.

    roush or gt/cs hood scoop

    The Shelby GT scoop is pop rivited on and looks rather tacky in my opinion. I like the GT/CS and put one on my car as I feel like it is more to the 65/66 Shelby than any other. (The original scoop was not pop riveted and is the weakest point of the Shelby Gt's imop, love them otherwise and...

    What am I doing wrong (dragstrip question)

    1. Your car is slower than it should be then, but I cannot help as to why. Alot of times a slower 60ft will make a lot higher mph on the big end. At mustangweek, my quickest run was actually my slowest 60ft. I would begin with a cai & tune and see what that does. Some of the other guys on...

    What am I doing wrong (dragstrip question)

    Three things. 1. Are you racing at Bristol Motor Speedway? Bristol simply is a high altitude slow track. I love racing there, but compare your car to other cars around you when ther, not what you read on this board. I have seen plenty of stock sn197s running very similar times to what you...

    tune - tq vs perf

    I have the 93 torque and 93 race tunes in my diablo from bamachips and I use both. Driving around the torque tune is great as from 1000-3000 rpms it feels like it is quicker. But at the track it is no contest, the race tune is by far the way to go becasue of the revs. At high rpm the race...

    06 Mazdaspeed 6 Vs 08 Mustang V6

    the Mazdaspeed6 was not offered with an auto transmission. It only came with a 6-speed and all wheel drive. 285 hp will dust you if it is really a speed6. If it is an auto and a six cyl it still has 220hp and should be pretty quick. Test drove 3 speed6's before I bought my 07GT. Really...

    Should I sell?

    What else can you get for 23k? Chances are that whatever it is you would be less satisfied than you are with your current ride. If not, sell it.

    Rev Limiter

    I run Dougs tunes and had to raise the limiter to 6500. I kept hitting it at 6200 and the 93 perfomance tune really likes the rpms. I like the torque tune also, but it does not pull as hard at high rpms. Long live Doug!!! :hail2:

    Need Tire help

    just bought a set of 18 in factory chrome wheels for my 2007. What size rear tires can I go with for more traction at local street nights. Will 295 45 18 fit on these stock rims without issues. I read the sticky thread but could not find the help i needed. Also, just put Eibach pro kit and...
