I got to drive my brother-in-law's Boss over the weekend. Nothing radical just a cruise down the road a bit and back (it only has 600 miles on it). The exhaust sound is so sweet there really isn't any need for a radio. The clutch isn't quite as linear as my '07 GT but the shifter is worlds better than the factory one I had on mine. Obviously, nice pick up. My brother-in-law says it really comes alive above 4,000. He says it's scary in a way because there's no way to know the car's limits (steering, handling, braking) on the street. He hasn't signed up for the Boss Track Attack Day yet. Maybe I can talk him into being his one allowed participating guest.

Driving a new Boss 302 is like driving a factory race car! I'm not sure that many people buy this type of car to use as a daily driver because of the stiff ride and awesome power this car provides.

It seems more like a specialty car that you take out on weekends and specifically to set up for racing! :3gears:

My 5.0 turns into a totally different animal after 4000 rpms and really cannot be appreciated (legally) on public roads! The suspension on the Boss may make it less desireable for daily use.
