Guess you can't post an MP3 sound of exhaust clip?

The dyno runs were done by "American Muscle", an internet magazine? The "before" run of 416 HP, then added intake, exhaust, and computer programmer, and got 451 HP? They filmed the whole thing, so maybe their dyno was "biased"???

Wawanesa, STILL hasn't paid off my total loss, Mustang. First level appraisal was $49,000. Has to be approved by his supervisor, they are not happy about paying that much on a claim! Supervisor will probably try to "negotiate" down, to $45,000. We'll see?

The video was on Youtube, under Boss 302, performance gains American Muscle. An advertisement to sell performance parts. Car & Driver magazine did a dyno test, they got 391 HP, using "Performance Key".

After driving a 2013 Boss 302, IMO, it's faster than a Camaro SS, 6.3 Hemi Challenger, Corvette, Porsche 911, any BMW, and more. It's just plain FAST!

Glad you're okay (well, at least alive is not banged and bruised) Cranky.
As far as color, I was just at the dealership yesterday. It's hard to get an accurate pic of the colors. The Boss School Bus Yellow isn't really, em, school bus. It's a deeper yellow. Must see in person kind of yellow. And your pics of your green one don't do the color proper justice - and it's nearly impossible to describe. Not my personal favorite color, but the Mustang can wear it and pull it off. That's a color that will definitely be either loved, or not in anyone's opinion. On another vehicle, it would be downright absurd. Could you imagine a Gotta Have It Flex rolling around town? hahaha.

Glad your ok, and great choice in color. At work in the parking lot my car stands out no other ones around, I like that. As for one of your posts you mentioned Mobil One as your choice of oils for your new Boss. Was wondering why you picked Mobil 1. I myself only ran Amsoil in my last Mustang and plan to do the same in this one. Was just curious why the choice. Amsoil is a little pricey more than Mobil 1 but I and other Mustang owners I know swear by it. No I don't have stock in Amsoil.. LOL

that's funny i didn't know Amsoil was still around, used to use it in my '88 cause no one else made 10w40 in full synthetic, had to buy it out of some guy's garage in queens. now i just use Mobil 1

FINALLY!!! Wawanesa PAID UP, $47,000.00, after I filed a complaint with Ca. Insurance Commisioner. They told Wawanesa, law requires they pay "replacement" value "NEW" car, not year old car with 15,000 miles! DONE. Finally got to bring Boss 302, home! Now I have to learn how to drive "the beast", program the track key, install K & N filter, and remove exhaust baffles.

they are not here yet but its just a couple of months away.... and will cost 50k more for the bragging rights too.
just doesnt seem logical in the days of scrimp and save ... but cost is only relative, right?
drive safe and enjoy.

hey i'm with you on this... but i have a healthy regard for the M cars -- since I've been with BMW for 23yrs... they are famous for under-rating their cars
yeah, it p***es my bosses off when they hear me rolling through our parking structure -- haha!! i do it on purpose.
