  1. Boss Package from Ford

    Yes, I signed up for the Track Attack and a second day in the FR500. The fellow I spoke with seemed very attentive to needs and understood my goal is to be paired with a racing oriented group/instructor to develop some new skills I can use for the 2014 season. To that end I signed up for an...
  2. Boss Package from Ford

    Well, we're a bit over two months from the purchase date, almost three and still no Boss package in the mail. Should I be calling the dealer or bugging Ford? If Ford, anyone know who to contact?
  3. Lap Time Thread

    A laptime of 2:10 is for sure quick with a relatively heavy car, but somehow I figured it might be faster. I've run 2:15.x in my <200 rwhp SCCA ITS V6 Mustang, and it has 2:14s in it with driver and setup development. But even if 2:10s is sort of where it is at for a limit, if I could run...
  4. Lap Time Thread

    I'm surprised, I thought that they Boss might manage better than a 2:10 at VIR Full Course on the now "old" configuration. Particularly on slicks or some Hoosier R6s. The car is powerful, of that there is no doubt, and with my limited street driving it isn't horribly far away from my race car...
  5. Boss Package from Ford

    Yes, I dig the green. It works FAR better in person than in pictures. Some pictures it looks bright, other pastel, and still others almost like a primary color. In bright sunlight it is fantastic. My first choice was yellow but there were no new yellow ones available that I could find. Heard...
  6. Boss Package from Ford

    Sorry, I forgot to mention, yes it was new. I was tracking six or seven new Bosses left in the country at the time and I think it is down to maybe three or four new ones left. I suspect there will be some bargains to be had on those cars as they sit. I purchased mine at under sticker and as they...
  7. Boss Package from Ford

    Just after Thanksgiving I took delivery of a 2013 Green Boss. So far I love it, fantastic car. As I understand it Ford is supposed to send a "Boss Package" to me that contains the track voucher. How long did it take you folks to receive the package? It hasn't been all that long for me, but the...
  8. Differential Vent Tube venting on track days

    Yes, the correct way is with a can and I eventually added one for piece of mind. But if someone needs to fix the job at the track, which is where I discovered my problem some years ago, the ghetto hose trick will take care of business. The "dead whale" smell of diff fluid is fairly pungent and...
  9. Differential Vent Tube venting on track days

    Has anyone just tried a long hose line with a loop in it?On my race car we simply put a 1/4" NPT nipple in place of the axle vent and run about a 2 ft hose up from the vent to a high point under the car. I've never had a problem with it and we run 30 min sprints up to 3 hour races in this...
  10. Boss Pickup/Delivery - Advice, things to check, items to address?

    Thanks for the additional tips. I had a oil separator on my Lightning because it would, under certain conditions, such oil into the intake and it ends up gumming up the intercooler. Clearly the Boss has no blower or intercooler, but it apparently has a problem with pulling oil in via the PVC...
  11. Boss Mustang Brake Pad Compound

    I'm wondering if anyone know what Carbotech or Hawk pad compound the Boss OEM pad is most like? I'm just curious as to how the pads are as delivered.I run Carbotech HT10s or 12 on my race car, front, and a slightly less agressive compound on the rears. I've been using these pads, or sometimes...
  12. 2013 waiting for Sync

    I've got Sync in my 2013 F150 and it works great. I travel a lot for my job and I always get Ford rentals with Sync because it so seamlessly integrates with the phone for the few hours I'm driving the car. I've got an iPhone too, maybe I'm just lucky but Sync works well for me - playing music...
  13. Boss Pickup/Delivery - Advice, things to check, items to address?

    Thanks for the heads up people. Good advice on the brake fluid fill level.What is the factory specified break in procedure? I have always owned Fords and followed recommendations to a tee. However, for my Ford race motors I generally just go through a heat cycle, a bit of running to seat the...
  14. Boss Pickup/Delivery - Advice, things to check, items to address?

    I am pleased to say that I will soon take delivery of a new 2013 Green Boss that I've purchased. My daughter and I will be flying out will drive it back to NC as a weekend trip.I am wondering if any of you have tips or advice you might offer regarding delivery from the dealer. For example, is...
