Did mine today and I think it is pretty low, a lot lower then I thought it would be. From the side, best I could measure it looks to be just shy of an inch and a half lower then just having the bar. If you look at it from the front I would swear it is two inches lower then anything else. Just hope it clears the trailer, it is not a critical spot in the load up but will have to test run it.

I've got 3300 miles on mine now and I haven't hit anything.....other than a dirt clod that fell out of a dumptruck.....I was surrounded by traffic and my only option was to straddle it and it just cut right through it with no damage. I've been over some steep drives and speed bumps and it's cleared every time....not that I haven't cringed a couple times but it cleared.

Cool thanks for the info I am more worried about the trailer, have a new one being finished this week that should be much lower so my fingers are crossed Now if I can figure out what to do with all the empty boxes round here

First oil change this week.

Finally got a chance to take the wondervu, highway 72 ride. Have a green chile breakfast burrito at the wondervu cafe. You'll go faster down the hill for several reasons.

Holy crap you might need track pads and high temp fluid just to drive that road! Looks like fun!

I didn't push too hard. The price for failure was about 100ft drop on a couple of the turns. It was fun.

Some friends told me about it. I didn't realize it was such a big event. I'll start looking towards next year. Which Boss did you take? Or both?

Thats awesome! I was just out there a few weeks ago. Wife and I flew into Denver and drove up to Estes Park, gorgeous drive, and then drove down to Blackhawk one day which was absolutely incredible. Wish I had a decent rental, and not a Chevy Aveo!

Entered both in the show. Only two 2012 Boss' (a black LS and mine) Autocrossed the '12. My first time. Had a blast. Very competitive car. Left traction control on and it saved me a couple of times from taking out cones. Planning to go to Bandimere this Wednesday (if weather permits) then to HPR on one of the open track Fridays.

I hate you guys, the world is flat and straight down here


However when December rolls around and your cars are tucked away under cover in a cold garage - I will be zipping around Daytona
I will even post a vid or two just so you can remember what it was like to drive the Boss
