Your Boss 302 Top Speed

[VoodooBoss]

What's the fastest you've driven your Boss so far? On a closed circuit of course.

I've only had mine up to somewhere between 125-130 and have done it maybe a couple of hundred times now as I head into turn 1 at Thunder Hill. My car is very stable at that speed and feels like I'm just cruising along at 70. ;D

142.1 back stretch at VIR. took 4/5 of the stretch to make that and the last 1/5 to brake and pray.

Pushing right around 140+ mph at Mid America Motorplex near Glenwood , Iowa.

Would imagine guys are doing over 150 who have gone to Road America?!

 

[jimprw]

138 for about 1 second then had to back down...on a nice straight stretch of blacktop wayyyy out in the country.

I saw this over on another forum. This guy even took a video of 160 on the autobahn.

158 M.P.H. on a Smartycam exiting Nascar turn 4 Daytona

137 down the back straight at Watkins Glen.

This is 10mhz GPS not speedo:

150 mph at BIR down the front straight lifting into Turn 1

148 mph at Road America......probably heaing into 5 but could have been 12 (Canada Corner) or 1 ??? My GPS timer just gives max speed per lap and not where.

Next year with LTs, OR X and a tune with the limiter removed we'll see.......

Speedo said 162 at Pocono Raceway (yea I know, a NASCAR track is cheating ;D ), since I'm on 18" wheels I believe it's really about 155 MPH. Nothing like going into into a turn at 155 with a cement wall 2 feet away at my drivers door when we were driving the course clockwise :

149 numerous times at BIR recorded by my Traqmate GPS. Not as brave as Gary however as I could not mentally avoid touching the brake heading into turn 1, even though the car is obviously capable of handling it.

144 back straight at VIr, 152 braking for turn 2 at Pocono and 136 into the Bus Stop at The Glen. Will see what we can do at Road America next July with the Mid America Shelby club.

Only 140 (10hz GPS) so far...on the half-mile straight at Firebird Main Track in AZ.

 

[VoodooBoss]

I need to find faster tracks. Funny though my favorite track so far is the slowest, Laguna Seca. Grant what's your top speed at Fontana?

 

[Bossy1908]

Please pardon my ignorance, but what gear do our cars hit top speed in? I'm guessing 5th, not 6th?

 

[PeteInCT]

They can hit it in 5'th but since we never use 6'th on the track I'm not sure if they can do it there also. My guess, based on our torque curves, is they can. Just a guess.

 

[gsw166]

125 on Interstate 495,,, haven't had the chance to play on a track yet.

 

[Smilieboy]

I had mine around 145+ at Roebling road but that was still being somewhat conservative. My GPS tried to say 162 but i think its wrong.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

The best part is how surprised drivers of other makes are when we go whizzing by..................she pulls to 7500 , strong through the gears and sure is fun passing cars that are quick but seem to poop out around 125-130.

 

[ORANGE CRUSH]

140 at TWS front strech.

 

[loco pantelonez]

150+ on a uphill two mile straight that gains at least 1000 feet in elevation. I love how the boss just pulls like a freight train even with the pretty steep uphill in 5th.
