If the GT class Boss 302 is like most GT class cars now, it didn't start Its life as a street car. Most likely it is a purpose built tube chassis race car with a Boss looking skin. It is still cool that a "Boss" will be running in the GT class. Let hope they can get it sorted so it is competitive.
This is what I'm wondering since I don't know the class rules.

That is what they told me about this car, I am new to this and was suprised at all the differences from the Grand-am side.

Rolex GT cars are tube-frame (or otherwise race-constructed) that share no parts with the production body. The body is made to look reasonably like the production car.

The RX-8s that many teams ran last year were $300k before you add the powertrain.
