    What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?

    Re: What did you do to your boss today?:( Sold it.Would have liked to have kept it forever, or at least rolled it into a GT350, but that just wasn't in the cards right now. Pulled the equity out for family needs; got what I wanted for it. But, damn, I feel like I lost a family member...

    Focus RS is Coming

    Reality can be such a bummer, sometimes.Rear legroom in the Focus hatch appears to be very similar to that of the Boss.Still need to sell the Boss to pull out the equity in it. Just no fun little car to look forward to in exchange. Trying to make things happen so I can keep hopes up for...

    GT350 Photos and Specs

    I like the Avalanche, too, I just don't know if it would ever look as clean and crisp to me as white does. Very close to light-colored primer, IMO. I'd trade a shade-of-gray in the options for a good burgundy, copper, root beer, etc.That said, I saw a dark (Magnetic?) gray GT roll down the...

    Focus RS is Coming

    Re: focus rs comingA little light and confirmation regarding pricing for the RS. Would love a GT350R or TP, but the RS might be a better fit right now in several regards. Not a bad time for a car guy, regardless!"If you win one of the two grand prizes from Monster Energy, you can choose...

    Clutch Replacement - Labor cost from dealer?

    Thanks, fellas. I know their labor rate is probably high. Sounds like he was piecing together too many hours from individual jobs. I thought I was being generous in my original thought of 6 hours, at about $600-900 depending on hourly labor rate. Even figured in another couple hundred for...

    Clutch Replacement - Labor cost from dealer?

    While I was getting my oil changed recently, I walked over and talked to the Service Manager about clutch replacement. I mentioned the weak points of the OEM clutch and asked if they would install an aftermarket one if I provide it. He said yes and began looking up labor cost. With me having...

    The GT350R

    That's funny. While I wasn't that hard on the 2015, I've been hoping I'll be able to swing a GT350 in a year. I haven't modded the Boss yet but I'm 'needing' to do so to address some common issues :D . The GT350 addresses many. ;DI like the red accents on those stripes, and on that...

    The New Ford GT

    It really is fine. 8) I love how the front clearly pays homage to the vintage GT40 and yet the rear is one of the most futuristic evolutions of recent automotive design. And they manage to blend the two incredibly well.I'm impressed with the 'pedestrian' EcoBoost TT V6, hauling much more...

    Ford Focus RS vs Honda Civic Type R? Poll

    I scaled back on cars right before the Boss, and so happened to be in a an '08 Civic Si. Fun car, though the lack of torque still has me spinning the Boss' tires three years in. lol In 2015, I think Honda can at least keep the torque-steer of 305 turbocharged hp to the level of that 200hp...

    lets discuss lockout, clutches and shifters

    My opinion here is all from experience and no hands-on education, but it sounds to me that your explanations seem to nail the issues and causes down with good authority. Others may disagree, in small part.My simple analysis was that the trans/shifter didn't like to be rushed. My experience...

    Looking for Trackey Input

    Yes, you should get the TK loaded! 8)My Boss is a daily-driver and has yet to get track time (delivery 8/11, now 16,750 miles).It's driven hard, at some point, on every outing. I get most of what it has to offer (with street tires) when the road and conditions allow.I enjoyed it...

    Custom side exhaust for you

    Ah yes; I see. The mid-point seems just as low, or lower, than the tips. Very helpful. Thanks for the pic.Any of you running these with the stock rear exhaust? If so, do you feel an axle-back is needed to balance the sound?
