So, for the last 20 or so years I've been a car fanatic just like pretty much everyone on this forum. 90% of the cars I've owned over the years have been small displacement (sometimes turbocharged) engines in lightweight japanese cars. I stepped into the realm of the German arena with a pair of Audis (A4 and S4) so I'm no stranger to having heavier cars on the track.
My most recent cars have been all Lancer Evolutions, an Evo VIII, X and IX...so I've covered the whole range. All of them either tracked or autox'ed at some point, and all three making north of 350whp. Great handling cars, said I'd drive them to my grave, etc. For some strange reason I CANNOT stop drooling over the Boss 302. To be honest I never saw myself driving an American car. Up until the most recent generation of Mustang, I always thought of the car as great for drag racing...but sloppy for the road course. Yes the aftermarket can help any car I know...but out of the box the Boss has been the only Mustang to come close to grabbing my attention.
Now, keep in mind I fully intend to take all of my "play" cars to the track or autocross so performance and handling are paramount in my car decisions. I guess what I'm really looking for is some honest feedback from anyone with experience tracking Evos (or anything similar) and the Boss. I'm no track star by any means...I'm just hoping I won't be completely let down by everything I've read about the Boss up to this point. The Boss would be replacing the Evo IX I have currently...so it would be a big commitment.
BTW, seems like a great forum with a lot of technical info, excited to have been introduced to it!
