New Boss 302 S/R build acquisition from Iconic Stangs

[REAL 1]

Guys: Was inspired to post pics of my new race car having been inspired by McGuirk's beauty he just acquired. Was actually in negotiations with Dean to buy that car but then lost touch with him and thought he sold it so continued my search and found this. McGuirk, to bad your not here on the east coast so we could chase each other around on the track at Watkins Glen, Summit Point or NJMP. That would be cool!!!

S197 body was stripped down to the bare frame and built up to between Boss S and R specs with body all seam welded.

That car is beautiful! Best of luck with it.

That's awesome and congratulations. You should make a trip out west so Team BMO West Coast Region can chase you both around Laguna Seca, Sonoma and Thunderhill. ;D

Man! How cool and fun would that be!

Maybe a meet mid way at Road America or Mid Ohio! 8)

Can't wait to see you out at Summit!

Nice build and thanks for sharing. Would be nice to have a national BMO event one day!

Road America should be the BMO East/West Challenge site in 2016. It is 15 hours from NY and only 30 hours from Sacramento or 27 hours from Phoenix!!

That's a real beaut of a car!

I'd put the coil covers back on though with that Tiger Racing hood. Shouldn't really be getting water on them.

Car doesn't see water or rain. Thanks for the tip though.

A BMO meet at Mid Ohio sounds great. I'm in.

I was thinking COTA was more in the middle.

Any of them would work for a.BMO track meet.

Probably should tie in with a local club event like HOD

So have you had this bad boy on track yet?

Oh yeah. Goes like stink. Running the Trans Am tune which has it at 502hp as opposed to the AI tune at about 460 hp. Just running Toyo R888's right now. Have the Toyo TA1 set with TSW wheels on the tire rack in the trailer. Just learning the car right now. Ran it at NJMP at Lightning and Thunderbolt. Was running at Pocono 2 weeks ago. Just had a cool suit system put in. Going back to NJMP this coming weekend for two days. Just changed oil, brake fluid and corner balanced it.

We should organize an East/West Boss Mustang get together for 3 days at a central location next year. I'm in.

;D

Road America.

I vote COTA

Road America.

Both are about 15 hour drives for me. Would love to drive both of them.

COTA is much closer for us Arizona based boss's, but agree with Timeslayer both are on the bucket list.

Impressive. Can you share graphs with us?

 

[REAL 1]

Sure. Dyno was at the crank so I adjusted 10% give or take.

I have to figure out how to download and post.
