Those Airaid CF intakes are very cool looking. ;)

I installed DBA 4000 T3 rotors, Pagid RS29/56 pads and APR wheel studs.

I finished adding the brake ducts, brake lines, titanium shims, as well as motul 660. This is how the brakes should have come from the factory.
 
Re: What did you do to your boss today?

While waiting for my Borla ATAK Axel Backs to arrive (delayed due to Sandy Storm), A friend and me decided to take a run on a windy road in the area....
We didn't break any speed limits, but it was still fun... I was also putting a few heat cycles on my newly painted Coil Covers (painted Race Red to match the car)... So I didn't want to wind her up to much...

Note to self, lean the seat back a little further so the camera can see more than just the visors... LOL

I will take another video on the same road once I get the Borla's on... If my Mic on my GoPro can handle that much sound, LOL

Burnouts ;D ;D , then washed her, then put on 302S rims, and removed my restrictor plates. ( I had to put them in for a road trip with the lady)
 
Re: What did you do to your boss today?

I decided to take a Track car to the Drag Strip.

Went to North Star Dragway in Denton. Kind of informal drag night. Just get in line and you could run against anything. I wanted to try out the Boss. 4000 miles, stock and used the Red Key.

Had 5 runs. 2 of the runs I missed 3rd gear once and 2nd gear once. I really think it's the shifter, especially the 3rd gear miss. May have been the clutch spring on the high rev to 2nd.???

Best run 1/8 mile
60' 2.1307
330' 5.8500
1/8 8.8282 93.18 mph

I was pleased at the first night at the track.

I've got to go with a MGW or Barton shifter. I've noticed this on high rev shifts on the street and thought that maybe the tranny was doing better with more miles and I believe it is for aggressive driving; but on the track it's obvious.

Side note: Lot's of lookers and questions about the Boss.

I never get tired of driving it!
Re: What did you do to your boss today?

I put on some new (to me) wheels and all season Continental Extreme Contact DWS 275/35/19 tires (all the way around) so I can enjoy driving the Boss in cooler temperatures. I went the same so I can rotate them. Only lost .1 inch in rear tread width. The wheels are 19x9's. I like the look.
