Mustang Boss 302
You've never seen guys drive brand new cars hard? You need to move lol. I've seen cars run hard brand new, ohio probably has too since we live in the same area. I've seen cars with dealer tags running at the strip. Heck before I bought my truck me and the manager were doing burnouts in it right off the showroom floor with less than 5 miles. Even seen guys racing brand new 392 challengers vs brand new 5.0 mustangs right infront of the dealerships
Seen multiple new Camaro's/mustangs/Chally/chargers/vette etc out there.

The best I seen was a guy with a brand new(with paper tags) C6Z at the track. He ran high 12 low 13's all night. He raced a civic that ran low 12'. Vette lost. Guy lined up with the civic again. Lost again. He didn't even get his slip. He left the track right from the turn off. It was classic.

After doing some more reading online its clealy obvious the Boss 302 I ran either had some kind of problem or it was a fake. I think it had problems because when I talked to the guy he was saying "it only has 3k on it" like making excuses why it didn't kick my azz hard. Also I went back to where we ran and there were NO marks from his tires!

Nope it was clearly a BOSS, 302 on the side with the stripes wide tires LOUD exhaust side pipes etc. I also remember thinking to myself I never seen a Mustang like this before and wondered WTH it was. I've seen the new 5.0s and it wasn't that, guess i'll never know what was up. Maybe he was just scared of it and took it easy but the way he was revving the **** out of it I highly doubt it.
We ran from a roll too at about 60 and although he did pull away from me it wasn't much.

sow ith most of our cars being in the sub 6 and in some cases sub 5 second 0-60mph.... you were racing from maybe 10-60. Hard to judge anything off that kind of race.
i read it that you ran from a roll TO 60mph. ok so 60-100. Not even one ful gear depending where you were.
Just saying hard to say how much he could have or would have pulled you.
Find another one and try a 20-120 run...

I'd agree but he was acting crazy, I mean revving it to redline. When we were at the light I was afraid he was gonna go sideways into me because he was holding it wide open. BUT no tires marks??? WTF is up with that????? plus he didn't get past me until about 70 mph?????? I spun 1st and 2nd.
I think I was messed with OR he was just scared I might win and was toying with it.

well, op....i read this, and considering i RUN away from LS1's that are exhaust/lid only, and i know a well driven BOSS302 will likely pull slowly on my 2011GT, i doubt every word.
the boss was not racing you, he is worthless at driving, it wasnt a boss, or your recollection is way off.
now a 400rwhp at 7800 rpm boss can barely pull a 290rwhp LS. come on now. what is next? a 2013-620hp gt500 will lose to a ls1?
i understand its rough to be falling behind with cars that have been at the top for so long. you are giving up 100 crank hp and weigh only 100lbs less.
