Possible to make 2016 GT as fast as Boss 302?
Wife test drove a 2012 Boss 302 at a dealer today. She came back laughing her head off, said it was amazing. We have 2016 GT with PP.
What would one have to do....if there is anything...to get our car to be that fast? She spoke about how it was just crazy ready to take off at any second...![Wink](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Thanks, just curious!

I don't have tons of money at any ONE time, so it would be a "work in progress" kind of thing. A couple things at a time I guess, unless that's not possible.
What would you do first? Tune, air intake and exhaust? Minor stuff I guess compared to what ultimately you would need...right?

If your '16 is an Auto.... the point would be mute on off the line accel and you wouldn't be posting this, right?
So for a manual start with gears. 3.73s will get you that off the line kick in the ***.
Then you have to do intake/tune to get more power and better throttle response, and perhaps up the revs a bit to get close the Boss 7400RPM redlline.
Then at the very least stiffer springs.

I know what your wife was talking about, but I don't know where the problem lies. I always thought it was the gearing in the Boss. It could be the tuning on the computer being slightly more aggressive on the Boss not to mention the additional power.
