Congrats, I imagine you must feel great. I know Steve, Greg and myself feel real good about just being in the top ten and that does not even compare to No.1.

Well there you go, no collector paid big bucks to have the first, and the person who gets number 302 will be someone who just happens to get the 302nd Boss off the line

it was waiting for me! lol i tell you the dealer had no idea, you should have seen the OH Shi* look on the sales managers face when i said dude that is car number 1. he had no idea it wasn't just the first CO for that day or something. thank goodness we already had a deal... they didn't even have epics of this car on their website and it wasn't listed anywhere else, no ebay or cars.com. just sitting there with a 5k adm for the last few months until i talked them down to rationality. i was kind of pissed and bummed that after making 150k in sales off me last year that they were making me pay over sticker until i popped the hood. hell i had agreed to buy it before i knew what number it was.

didn't the LS cars build before the normal Boss? it has to be out there, probably just like mine sitting on a lot somewhere with a dealer not realizing what it is.

copied and pasted this form anouther forum because im too lazy to type it again, if you know some of this ignore



i guess i should say a bit about the car. It drives great, it comes with the adjustable dampers set on 2 out of 5 clicks. it is more firm on 2 than my koni yellows were on 2.5 front and 2 turns rear. it's not harsh or uncomfortable at all, just more firm. the adjustable steering is cool, i put it on sport mode and could definitely tell a difference. the car is more accurate than on normal, which it was on by default. I dint know what all the selective steering does, but it felt like you have to make smaller wheel movements to get the same amount of movement on the front wheels between normal and sport.

the recaro seats are very supportive and comfortable, even my wife liked them and she hardly likes anything car related. they look great. i will say this, if you are a big guy you will want to try these seats out first. i am 5'10" and weight 200 pounds. I could lose 15 pounds or so, but i have broad shoulders and a big chest, the seats are snug. i wear a 48 coat and have a 34 waist, if you are much larger you may find the seats uncomfortable. i also noticed that the deep side bolsters make getting in and out of the car a bit challenging.

That is assuming you like to ride more upright and closer to the wheel like i do. You have to turn sideways and drop into the seat or the hips hit the wheel and side bolsters. the power if fantastic, the car feels much faster than my blown 10 on the stock roush tune and honestly feels faster than the 10 did on the vmp 500 tune. especially in the upper rpm. it really feels like when the boost on my m90 would hit about 3500 rpm pon the 10 when the boss gets to about 4500, it just freaking takes off. You can go from 60 to 120 and not even realize it, the car is very smooth.

The tranny is nice, the throws are longer than my MGW on the 10, but they are silky smooth. i just have to get used to the new pattern and how 6th feels like more to the right and down. the car is quiet, but keep in mind that i am used to the rectangular flows. You can actually hear the exhaust inside the car, i could hear nothing of the 10 when it was stock. I plan to remove the restrictors in the side exit pipes this weekend. that is suppsoed to free up a lot more sound and one of the guys dynoed his before and after and picked up 10whp with the restirctors out. that's all i can think of for now!

Are you kidding? Nope, LS001 went back to Ford, likely along with LS002 for one of the executives.

Congrats Shane on your awesome find!
