Thank you groot!

A blur caught my eye when watching the promo video for Monday's Boss 302 special. Look what's written over top of the door...



Thank you groot for your hard work in developing the car (along with all the other team members we'll be seeing in the video.

Looking at the blackout in front of the rear quarter window, I believe this was also one of the cars seen lapping with the M3's back when we were speculating about the 5.0.

****! You've got a good eye!!!

But for what it's worth, yep, thanks Groot. Good to know TMS is frequented by such knowledgable insiders. It's a pity you can't post all your thoughts/news/scoops, but your amazing work on the Mustang is truely appreciated by all us Mustang fans

Eagle Eye over here!

No kidding, thanks for all your hard work man (assuming you're still here reading the boards).

I'd love to get my hands on a BOSS

I'm guessing he's the one with the laptop and the data link cable?

Just for the record, all I saw at first was that there may have been a driver's name over the door. I was pleasantly surprised to see his name, not to mention catching a frame where it's legible.
For those who weren't here at the time, groot came here to post a bit about the work that went into the Track Pack. Unfortunately those posts are gone forever. However, there is some discussion still over at another forum he frequents. It's all the more interesting to read now, as you can see how the stuff he did then that didn't get into the Track Pack has now made it's way onto the Boss.

Hey just got to see Kevin Groot on the Speed channel Boss 302 special. Also got to see some footage of the white care in the first post at the beginning of the special.

They said it was a suspension testing mule running the 2010 4.6L drivetrain.

I almost got a chance to meet him when he was out here in Phoenix dialing in the 2010TP, but the schedules just didn't align

I always assumed Corporate Ford didn't want him on here giving us little nuggets of info...

That's right. I forgot about that. I thought I knew him from here, but I couldn't seem to find anything from him. Just that site 914-something.

That's a good catch! Thanks for everything Groot! It would be nice if Ford would allow him to come back and feed us gold nuggets of info again.

Here's to Groot if he is still lurking. I am jealous . Btw I hope the links to the 914 site don't get him in trouble there as well . Happy Turkey day Groot!!!
