Unusual for a manufacturer to hype chassis dyno results. As most of you realize, dynos differ. and games can be played with correction factors for DA.

In any case, still pretty damn strong for a 302. I'd bet that the original couldn't wheeze out 300 at the wheels.

I watched a special on TV about the new Boss. The whole process of how the car was developed was very impressive. Their target was the M3, and they said they would have to find another car to target because it beat the M3 so bad on the track. The whole car including the motor is very impressive.

Took this pic using the iPhone two weeks ago in Salinas at the hotel I was staying at...also known to be a favorite of magazines, etc. because it's away from Monterey-Seaside, and it's at the end of a street so traffic is light.

The guys were swapping tires a couple of times on all three, which led me to believe they were out at the track and having some fun on the good roads in the area. Lots of photo equipment in the backseat of the M3. too busy to get to talk to them when they were out by the cars.

At my age, I decided not to track the Kirkham anymore....too hard on me and the car. This car, while not supplying all of the visceral excitement of a Cobra, will be more comfortable to drive to the track, and safer on the track.

Can't wait.
