I wonder what part of the Boss 302 is even left in that thing? I saw that thing at the Rolex 24 testing and it sounded like a NASCAR race car.

Color scheme looks retarded IMO, I would have much rather seen an original scheme, but that's just me.

Yep that's not a Boss LS. Regardless I hope it does well and can be competitive with the Porsche's, Ferrari's, and Audi's this season.

Fantastic! Good to see a livery that resembles the car in my garage.

It's a Boss, and I think it's great that there's a Boss in the GT class.

It's tough to be competitive right out of the box, especially against cars with several seasons of development already in the books. I'm hoping they have a succesful season and reach whatever goals they have for this year.

It could be the same motor but the specs for that class probably allow for more modifications and clearly the exhaust is different. I think the GT class are purpose built race cars where the GS (and ST) class is based on production cars.
