Who will be the first to post pics of their Boss on BossMustangsOnline?????

Thanks. I tried that but no luck. I've dropped a note to Mark to see what needs to be done to give me rights to attach stuff.

I may go ahead and just let everyone upload photos in the near term. In the meantime use imageshack. When you upload a photo they give you a bunch of different links you can use. The one called "forum link" is easiest since you just copy it and paste it into the thread. If you use the forum link image shack provides do not use the "insert image" icon as it will not work.

Hope this helps.

- this is what happens when I select insert image. It doesn't allow me to browse to locate and upload photos.

As far as imageshack, do you mean when you use that you upload a link to a picture rather than pasting in the picture itself into the reply or post?

the insert image feature tells the board to display the photo hosted at the link provided. I haven't given anyone the ability to directly upload a photo (the feature you are mentioning). Go to imageshack.com, there you will find a "browse" button. Once you have found the photo on your machine you will hit "upload". imageshack will give links to the location of your photo. Copy the "forum link" and post it here. The forum link will display as a photo on the board.

Great - thanks!

 

[Mark]

Great - thanks!

now after all that....I have made the change and you should have the ability to directly upload. If not let me know.

 

[jimprw]

Yep...that did the trick.

Thanks!

S197s ended with 2009s? What are 2010's +?

They are still S197s. While the styling changed, the platform did not.

What about the Track Key? Did you get it installed? How they do it?

Ok here's some more pics. Mine is #159 if that means anything....nothing cool like #1 or #302 The window tint really finishes it off

Ok, so here are my first impressions. To sum it up.....wow. To be honest I've been excited about the Boss, but let's just say a little skeptical. I wondered if it would really handle like the reviews say it does, or the marketing from Ford. I was really worried that it would just be a good platform to start, but would require a lot of mods to make it really handle. Now understand, I had maybe an hour and a half in the car.....in South Dakota.....it's 30 degrees....overcast.....and SNOWING lol. Ok, so it was a light snow just blowing around not sticking, but I'm driving my Boss in the freakin' snow.

So I'm thinking, summer tires, can't push it too hard or I'll just break loose, etc. I was going through break in and wanted to break it in hard, but follow Ford's guidelines. So run it up to 6-7k and shift, do it again, then let it decel under engine load and then just drive moderately varying speeds and never holding constant RPMs. The first thing I noticed is how compliant it is on the road. I was afraid that was also going to mean "soft". Even the doors closed too "quiet". Well, I was wrong. It did everything you told it. No understeer, incredibly balanced, let me say that again, incredibly balanced. The power was good, it pulled like a freight train and just kept pulling. I kept wanting to shift around 6k and it just wanted to keep going. The gearing allows you to stay in the upper end of the range after shifting. The exhaust rumble inside the car was phenomenal. Not overpowering, just right. I took an exit ramp hard and had very little to no body roll around the corner. I was amazed.

Now, realize I couldn't REALLY push it with those cold tires, but it didn't want to give up even at those temps. I cannot wait to drive this thing in normal spring weather. I really can't wait to drive it on a track.

Bottom line: AWESOME!

Fred it's a steal.

Unfortunately no it's not available yet. That's the only big disappointment for me, but hopefully it won't be too long.
