New to the forum... 9 Month owner of Boss #1163
Hello to everyone!
Just joined up today after being a lurker since buying my 12' Boss. TMS is Probably one of the only Stang forums I enjoy visiting so I don't know why I haven't become a member sooner lol.
My names Bill, and I live in the western portion of Connecticut with just a few Fords and a Subie. A 12' Boss 302 #1163 In Performance White, #177 produced in that color, on June 21st 2011. Currently no modifications but someday I do plan on having TracKey installed when I sort out the transmission issues.
I've also got a 2003 SVT Lightning in Dark Shadow Gray, which is my other mistress. Currently stock but my best times are in my sig. Plans for it are to try for the stock pulley record of a 12.53 @ 107. Last I daily drive a 2003 SVT Focus which is a fun little whip that somehow I've been averaging 29-30mpg in lol.
Also can't forget the Subie, an 07' STI that my soon to be wife has been using as her daily. Currently just tuned with a Grimmspeed Electronic Boost Control Solenoid by STIMikey of Phatbotti Tuning.
I'm a diehard Ford guy, having previously owned a 90, 89, & 88 Fox body. An 01' GT, 95' Lightning and my favorite a 93' Ford Tempo
lol
Here's some pictures of the rides, enjoy.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
The Lightning is definitely a lot of fun. Even though it's stock, there's still nothing like having a fast pick-up truck, especially when that Eaton starts to scream! I actually sacrificed my 89 & 01 Stang's as well as my previous 95 Lightning to purchase her back in 2009 lol.
It's also nice to see fellow Boss owners here. How do you guys like them so far?

Love mine, when I get to drive it, lol. Weather here has been staying pretty cold (snowed on Easter) and wet but I should be picking her up next weekend to drive regularly for a while. I'm currently working about two hours from home and only get back so often.

Snow in April! That blows! I know how you feel though, I put the Boss away at the end of October last year when we got hit with our first snow. Just recently started taking her out and now tranny problems have it sitting in the garage again until I take it in for warranty work.

Had the Boss out last month, weather was beautiful for a while, then forecasted temps turned cold again. Without a second car to drive where I'm working I was forced to leave her in the garage. Hopefully that time is over though!
