    Boss would win in a straight line, but on a road course I think the PP1 can prevail. That rear suspension works really well, I've never driven a car on track that I felt more secure with the rear grip. Did a lot of laps in a Players Camaro back...

    I had a similar dilemma about a year ago, PP1 is probably a better track car. Suspension and brakes have higher ceilings if the driver is good enough. Straight line the Boss probably wins until you do a few things to the IRS on the S550...

    If you are going to run it on the track and plan on doing mods and being quick I would go with the S550, if you want a fun car that will hold some value by the Boss. You can do a lot of mods to the Boss and still return it to stock. The S550...

    I can't compare the two because I've never owned an S550 . My 13 Boss 302 is relatively stock and I can attest to all the road tests, video's and positive ratings that you have read about the Boss 302. This car has not disappointed. I guarantee...

    if you want strong resale value , get the Boss , the long term difference will be substantial --- simple supply and demand, plus model mystique!

    While depreciation hasn't hit the Mach 1 as much as the now-10-year-old Boss, the Mach 1 has a Tremec transmission as opposed the MT-82 in the Boss, and for heavy track work that's a major consideration.For the S197, the changes to the Boss...

    2012 Boss in KBM, Apex 19x10 EC-7s with Falken 295/35/19 RT660s. Only suspension change is the use of Ford M-5300-T lowering springs.IMO, the silver really makes the color stand out. The EC-7s are so similar to the 18x10.5" Boss 302S BBS...

    Congrats Mike, it is such a small item to some , but the positive shifts and almost virtual lack of misshifts make an MGW system such a wonderful mod. There is a reason most of the time you meet a Ford Engineer with a track car, his shifter has...

    Installed a MGW shifter over the weekend. Really happy with how it feels, I was losing seconds a lap with the old shifter feeling so vague. I realize all the modifications I’m doing aren’t anything ground breaking but it’s a tried and tested...

    It's hard to match the way that roadrunner revs honestly. I am currently running SVE 19x10 wheels all the way around with 285 RE71RS.

    Having owned three Boss 302s I will agree they are a super fun machine and one of my favorite cars of all times. Yet, once I slapped on a set of Apex 19x11s, some GT4 racing studs from Capaldi Racing, maxed out the Handling Package front camber...

    @jarredc900 - where did you find a NIB FP 3160? I see it's still shown in the 2020 FP catalogue (Part # M-7000-M8S), but so far, I haven't found one in stock.Great looking B302.

    I have owned 4 White Mustangs over my lifetime so , I , of course, love the look of your Boss. Do tell everyone about your transmission conversion , as I know there will be plenty of interest in your T3160 install!

    Wow yes I have been dreaming about getting another Boss and putting a 3160 in it! I love that transmission. Please give us the story of that installation, what clutch, etc!
