Great shots, sorry I missed the event but I sold my Boss 302 and I'm waiting on my GT350. Since you have some other fast cars in your stable how about a quick commentary on the 302S, considering it's price, and how it compares so some of your other cars on track.treynor said:
Beautiful car and great pictures!treynor said:
@treynor was that you with the yellow GT350R at LS this past week with HOD? If so how about an indepth on track review?treynor said:The 302S is one sweet track package!
- The brakes are superb; big brembos with a track-calibrated ABS actuator which had zero fade even coming downhill into T2 on slicks.
- The engine is... well, same as the regular Boss 302, but in slightly lighter car, and it just pulls and pulls up the 7800RPM redline.
- Shifter & transmission is fantastic, I never missed a shift and the throws are short and positive.
- Mechanical grip is high with 305/18 PZERO Slicks on all four corners. The car's factory-spec setup is moderate understeer everwhere, and I'll free it up as I get used to the platform.
- Finally, driver position, visibility and comfort is excellent - the regular (not XL) seat fits me like a glove, and there was very little fine tuning needed.
Compared to other cars I've driven recently - the 302S is a significant step-function improvement over the Spec Mustang in every dimension, particularly brakes and motor. It has similar cornering grip to the 458 Challenge, but less braking and substantially less power. If I compare lap times - the 302S is 6-7 sec/lap slower than the 458 at Laguna, and that's how it feels: 85% of the performance for 25% of the cost.
