Great looking Red Boss! Where are you tracking your beast since you are in a State with plenty of fun tracks not too far from your home. Hope you are enjoying TMO and don't fail to ask questions or advice, you will get plenty of responses --- and some of them might even be correct , ha.

Best Wishes for plenty of asphalt destruction in 2022!

Agree. VIR has long straights which will work your brakes. Upgrade the fluids as a minimum. Depending upon the time of year, cooling may also be an issue. Removing your grill may help.
You will be hitting 140+ on the back stretch. Fun and eye opening all at the same time.

A smaller slower course before VIR may be a good idea also.

Love the red, partly because it looks so good on the Boss and also because you rarely see one. It almost feels like a special edition because even when there is a Mustang Car Show or an event ( Like the Fast Fords and Mustang Roundup ) there are very few red Bosses that show up.

You won't need to upgrade much, the Boss 302 platform is pretty much the top tier stick axle car ever.

BS1 is very correct, the Boss 302 is a surprise to so many drivers and it is very neutral in my estimation, right out of the box. Instructing in various cars and always a fan of M3s, one ride in a Boss 302 in 2012 blew me away. Having instructed a gentleman in an M3 a month prior, the 2 quick laps and two runs in an autocross ( a Ford Engineer let me drive his Boss ) at Motorsports Park Hastings ( racemph.com ) convinced me the Boss would easily outrun the M3. I decided then I needed a Boss 302 and I got my first one within a couple of months. Go play it's in it's DNA!
