tony356 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Congrats Greg. The Boss is a tremendously good track car. You will be very happy with her. On the track with the track key and good race fuel, you will think there is a blower under there. Yeah, it's that good. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NordicShelby Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 FWIW = I doubt if I will even be able to make it to Mid-America in June (Father's Day Weekend) nor will I even be able to attend my own region's TS Event in Nebraska in Sept due to my projected work schedule this year... I finally figured out how to have a win-win deal with my daughter on fathers day weekend I begged her to come along and she finally said YES and will be riding with me for the 11 hour ride to Tulsa. I hope the ride goes well she has never been in a vehicle longer than 2 hours at a time and usually about 30 minutes into a road trip she is always saying "Are we there yet" Now we have a 7 month old daughter as well which was born on 9/15/11 which so happens to be during the TS event in Nebraska so there is NO WAY I can miss her 1st birthday and there is NO WAY bringing her to the event so I will have to miss this one. Someday I should host a killer event here in Minnesota and have two days of track at BIR (Brainerd International raceway), a killer road trip through scenic Northern Minnesota, a nice car show along a lake, and a sweet BBQ........and lots of booze and babes.

NordicShelby Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 how old? I may try this on my 10 year old! Savannah is now 6 and I already know she is going to kill me on the road cruise down but hopefully she will have such a nice time that she will be thanking me on the 11 hour ride back home.

mach 1 1970 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Congrads Gregg you are really going to have a blast with this car. I keep changing the side exhaust , shock adjustments and which key to use ? The last cruise night it seems alot of people are wanting one. A hell of alot of questions and lookers . When you drive into the parking area with the RED key and side pipes it just has that BIG BLOCK rumble. These side pipes bolt right on in 15 min. and you still have the plates to adjust the sound. Any muffler shop can make them .I put the original plates back in and with the side pipes it sounds just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED KEY always, unless I am driving down the highway for any significant distance... And YES, driving this car is an absolute BLAST and a PRIVILEGE to be able to own something like this...

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make it AGAIN this year Looks like I'll be back in OH "working" during that 1st weekend in August...

VaporDude Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Will be there from about 3pm on Friday thru about 3pm on Sunday... And now that the Exhaust Plates have been removed, I can't wait for the "Moment of Horsepower" at NOON on Saturday I hear from a little birdy that it didn't go as you wanted during the "Moment of Horsepower". Can you explain how you were let down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT0547 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I hear from a little birdy that it didn't go as you wanted during the "Moment of Horsepower". Can you explain how you were let down? No let down ??? Just make sure you use the BLACK KEY any time you want to rev the engine while at a stand still... Otherwise, with the RED KEY in the ignition, the LAUNCH CONTROL feature is automatically activated... Which means, with the clutch pedal pressed and the shifter in 1st gear, the car "thinks" you are getting ready for a hole shot... And the ECU will limit the RPM to whatever you have previously set... And in my case, it defaults to 3,000 RPM... Which can be embarrassing if you aren't paying attention... However, you can still use the RED KEY... Just make sure you have the parking brake set, the shifter in N, and let the clutch out... This will fool the ECU, thereby allowing you rev the engine all the way to redline... Not sure who that "little birdy" is, but you might check your sources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
