(Boss Ch.12) 20,000 Miles
8th Apr 2013Posted in: Cars and Driving 0

The Boss continues to thrill me every day. On most days, I don’t ask much. I have a short commute to work and twice a week we have to take Finley to daycare. Once I figured-out the moves, the ingress and egress of the baby seat isn’t even a big deal anymore. And baby Finley [...]

(Boss Ch. 11) Underhood mods
8th Apr 2013Posted in: Cars and Driving, DIY 2

Boss 302R/302S Racing-style Breather Can The factory Boss Mustang PCV system increases engine pressure and forces oil into the engine intake, especially during hard track driving. This results in a slight loss of horsepower and a reduction in engine oil at a time when they are needed the most. One solution is to use an [...]

My first visit to Austin’s new Circuit of the Americas (COTA) was to see the Boss Mustang 302R race cars compete in the first ever Grand-Am of the Americas. I had skipped the crowds and expense of the inaugural F1 race in November for what I hoped would be a more relaxed experience. I can’t [...]

The Solo DL is one of the latest Data Acquisition (DAQ) systems from AiM. What is a DAQ? Simply put, DAQ systems record lap times and vehicle data for analysis that can be used to improve driver performance. Calling this a lap timer would be missing the plot and is likely to get you scratched [...]

The Boss Track Attack is a program designed to give owners of the new Boss 302 a comprehensive and hands-on track experience that demonstrates the [...]

(Boss Ch. 9) 10,000 Miles
12th Apr 2012Posted in: Cars and Driving 0

The Boss just turned 10,000 miles. In spite of some attitude from time-to-time, she continues to satisfy me daily. We drive to work, we get groceries, we have had a couple track days (not nearly enough), and we have even gone on a road trip. On one occasion, I shoehorned a kid into the back [...]

(Boss Ch. 8) Owner’s Kit
24th Dec 2011Posted in: Cars and Driving 0

As if Ford and Ford Racing weren’t already overachievers with their new Boss Mustang (I recently saw the Boss on no less than half a dozen magazine covers as it racks-up the year-end accolades), they cemented the amazing customer experience by sending each of us a personalized owner’s kit, just in time for Christmas. The [...]

(Boss Ch. 7) Performance Mods

My mod mania continues with a few performance oriented upgrades for the Boss. These are all designed to help the Boss manage heat while on the track. 1. Grille Mod The original 1969 Boss Mustang deleted the front fog lights and replaced them with mesh to improve airflow to the radiator. The new Boss Mustang [...]
