REAL 1
Death smiles at everyone. Army Rangers smile back.
I would like some advice from you guys since many clearly have a lot of track experience. I have a 2012 Boss in CO.
My experience is a 5 day Bertil Ross race school and approximately 10 track days over the last year at tracks like Summit Point, Watkin Glenn, Pocono, Lightning at NJMP and I am an instructor with HOD.
At first I was thinking of selling the Boss for a new GT350 but on reflection I think the Boss is a car to keep for a number of reasons despite the fact the GT350 will outperform it stock vs. stock.
I know the new Z28 is also faster due to its sophisticated magnetic suspension and 305's all around (Its big advantage).
I think the Boss can be made competitive to the Z28 with some mods.
My current mods now are as follows:
Triax Shifter
Steeda trans bushings
Steeda Boss Comp springs
Koni Yellows
Kooks side pipes.
K&N filter
Anticipated mods:
SVE wheels (10lbs lighter per wheel)
285 Pilot Super Sports all around.
Aluminum drive shaft
Kooks LT headers with tune
Tiger hood.
Racaro racing seats
Watson's new 6 point roll cage with side impact protection with rear seat delete.
Also...
I also have H&R race springs new in the box that I didn't put on for ride height considerations and ride quality considerations. Will they be an improvement over the Steeda Boss Comp springs for the track????
I figure 200lbs lighter, larger tires, and about 40 more horses ought to put me right on the Z's butt. I think. While 285's are still smaller I figure the weight advantage will make up for it in both cornering and acceleration. I think anyway. :-\
Any thoughts you guys have would be appreciated.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
