Is that a magnet or stickers and where can i get one?
That's a magnet but you can get them in a reusable sticker. See the link below and ask for Dave Whitworth, tell him Rick from BMO sent you.

Cleaned her up
Then took a drive found myself next to a actual zl1
Camaro

Seems to me there owners are intimidated by boss 302s around here

Lol
 
Re: What did you do to your boss today?

For the amount of extra power they have, thier 0-60 isnt much better and they can lose easily to a Boss with a skilled driver. I would be intimidated too if I was one of them.
They needed 6 liters and a Supercharger just to be ok.

True, but it does handle pretty well considering it weighs as much as a Los Angeles class submarine.

Sun came out, I took the Boss for a cruise. Ambushed some guy in an SRT8 Charger. He was not amused.

They are heavy pigs. Like my challenger. But wow, performed well on the track.

I like challengers, but having watched the grand am daytona race yesterday that lone Challenger was a dog and just kept drifting back in the crowd. not sure what it finished by it started 12th and fell back beyond 25th.
 
Re: What did you do to your boss today?

28th.
the trans broke.
new tream and there sorting things out. its a heavy car i think

also, i tried my best to get my shift bal off today. i have no idea what its now going to take. heated her up, strap wrench ext...just would not budge one bit.

guess ill have to cut it out just to get the new shifter in her and just buy the new parts to replace it.

any ideas on an easy or eaasier removal
 
Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Car manufacturers have this special loctite they put on things they dont want to ever come off, it's nasty. Warm it up just short of melting, then apply a lot of torque with a strap wrench. If that doesn't work............
 
Re: What did you do to your boss today?

if that doesnt work cut it off with a cut off wheel...
i just did that. its off now but its in two halves...lol

Which car was yours? Mine was the '12 race red and white accents.
 
Re: What did you do to your boss today?

installed the barton shifter today. went that route because i cant seem to understand how and why a differant company can always be low on inventory or build to suit. and when you contact them they say its shipping next week. and they repeat that for 8 weeks straight.

sooooo...i will never know how you guys with that certain shifter feel.

and since i have cut my stock shifter ball off....i am awaiting the new one from barton...
