  1. Boss #2758 Traded In 11/23/15

    Hey guys. I really thought I would keep my Boss 302 forever, but alas I am but a car whore. I traded her in the other day for a 2009 Corvette Z06 with just 7500 miles on it. I still have the original car cover and owner's kit which I will pass along to the new owner. If the new owner stumbles in...
  2. Boss resale value

    The only reason I care about resale is because I have toyed with the idea of buying a '13 SBY LS. Having both model years would be cool, and at least one of them should be an LS if I decide to do it. Not sure my wife would understand why I want another car like the one I already have, but I'm...

  5. Elgin Racing's Boss 302R wins VIR 13 hour!

    Friends Greg Obadia and David Jacobs of Elgin Racing, along with Todd Lamb win the 13 hour race at VIR this year! This is a great group of guys who race regularly at Summit Point, the track I manage, and all through the Eastern US in a 2013 Boss 302R serial #13. They won last year in SM5 and...
  6. Probably selling my Boss

    I think my quote needs clarifying. I know Porsche will be more expensive to maintain. That isn't my worry. I was merely stating that adding yet another layer of expense by having the PDK system, which costs more than a 6 speed manual, was adding an expense where it wasn't really needed. Having...
  7. Probably selling my Boss

    ^^^ Very nice car!UPDATE: I drove a 2011 Cayman S with PDK yesterday. I do not like the PDK system or how the paddles move with the wheel when steering. I prefer the Ferrari flappy paddle system that keeps the paddles in the 9 and 3 positions. Also, the PDK uses 2 gearboxes and two clutches...
  8. Probably selling my Boss

    If I were to buy a Cayman, it would be used, not new. I have some pretty good connections and could get a better than your average guy deal if I decide to do so. I did drive a Cayman in 2006 at VIR when they first came out. Ti this day it is the ONLY car I ever got out of and said to myself, "I...
  9. Probably selling my Boss

    So I recently bought an old Miata to putt around in and save mileage on the Boss and it has reminded me how much fun lightweight cars are in general, not just on track. The one complaint I have had about my car is weight. As fun as it is, it just feels too heavy. So I am pretty sure I'm ditching...
  10. Who's Selling a Boss for an S550?

    I will see what is out there when I pay mine off in a few years. I have tossed around either a 13-14 GT500, a Mach 1 if it comes out and has something to separate it from the rest of the Mustang line-up, or a '70 Mach 1 that I can have fun with. Heck, I've even thought about finding a '12 V6...
  11. Differential Vent Tube venting on track days

    The thread that never dies rises again! Love that search feature!I did one session on Saturday that was about 20-25 minutes long and saw indicated 140 on front straight at Summit main. After my session I parked and went to talk to a buddy and was called on the radio by a co-worker to inform...

  13. Weird stability control issue

    I have had this happen too, and noticed that when it happened I got a TC Malfunction message on the dash. I don't recall if it has happened on TracKey, but it has on regular key.My question is about the FRPP ABS module. Does it turn the stability off all the time? Only when you want to? What...
  14. Why choose the Boss over a used Z06?

    I have a friend who is very knowledgable on Corvettes. He advised me to stay away from pre-'09 Z06 cars due to a poor wrist pin design that was causing piston slap and failure on the track. Street use they were fine but track use would expose the issue in short order.Apparently GM corrected...
  15. What all have you had them fix on your boss?

    Nafod, you had better luck than I did with the dealer. I took mine in for a sticking rear brake and got no satisfaction. My right rear is hanging up, which caused a near melt down of the pads on that side, and total brake failure as I was parking in the paddock.I had an argument with the...
