@Brailsford's Rides I've got a 06 Corolla XRS. She rips. 6 speed lotus transmission, 2ZZ engine. All the mods. Would love to get a V8 rumbler. Been a while. Considering this or a C5 Z06
@@Audfile from a rarity perspective this is the car. This motor can also handle 1k HP easy as long as you upgrade the oil pump gears. I'm sure that little Toyota is fun I'm going to have to Google those. Didn't know about the trans motor combo
@Brailsford's Rides oh she is a beast. Imagine a 4 banger that growls deep and low. She's nuts. But aftermarket everything. They rev to 8500 and have variable cams. Is basically a Corolla Si Type R. 2600 lbs. They only made 6000. The 302 looks amazing and I'm seeing some pretty reasonable. I would probably be interested in keeping it NA, headers, cam, chip, pipes.
@@BrailsfordsRides the car is just thhhhaaaat perfect of a drivers car..... as far as that goes I cannot think of one thing.... only two things that come to mind for the car period are 1) the stock tune only lets it start up in quiet mode and 2) some of the plastic bits on the interior.... other than that I can't say anything and thats the biggest reason I love it sooo much.... the proportions/stance are great, that driveline and exhaust are phenomenal and truly one of a kind, the recaro seats are amazing for a stock seat, visibility is great, brakes are complete overkill for the street but to me thats a awesome thing.....just thought of number 3) clutch pedal is alittle light..... steering has alot of great feed back....ill keep looking!
@@BrailsfordsRides i know i know i jsut cant ever explain in words what this thing does to me.....I would love to do and autocross GT350 versus Boss 302....wish I knew someone closer that would do that sort of thing
I promise you will be one of the first people to know "outside of family". When it's official. In addition, when that happens I hope your up for some questions/suggestions on ones I will be looking at.
I enjoy your videos. That said 4 of the 5 things you hate about the Boss are nothing that is inherently wrong with the car. The whiny transmission is the only thing that wasn't a product of damage, or something not ordered when buying the car.
Oh for sure, this was purely a video centered around my personal vehicle, it is in no way saying every car will have these short comings. Secondly, thank you for the compliment, I try to make videos id like to go back and watch when I'm older and my kids have moved out 😆 well documented car history lol
@@BrailsfordsRides sounds like i great story, I think you guys would love Copenhagen. I try to go there once or twice per year, but I prefer the countryside and west-coast.
Soooo basically, there's really nothing wrong with your Boss!!🙄🙄😆😆😆....Much of your issues were self-inflicted!! If these are your Only issues, you're doing outstanding my friend!!
Things I hate (and I am fixing 'em) 1. The ride height. Jacked up in the rear. The rear gap between wheel and fender is huge. Solution: Ford Performance Lowering Springs. 2. The Stock Radio. Yes, I understand that the sound is awesome...It totally is with stock pipes and side baffles removed...BUT a Dynavin 9" screen that also integrates climate controls was a FANTASTIC solution. having Apple Car Play and mapping is essential for longer drives. 3. The weak ass headlights. The bulbs are NOT good. Replaced with LED brighter whiter light. 4. Weak ass turnsignal lights. Replaced with BRIGHT LED bulbs. 5. Amber and red sidemarkers. Solution: Smoked sidemarkers in LED. They look way better than OEM whether daylight or night. 6. NO Back-Up camera. Solution: Installed a VERY OEM looking camera between license plate lights. DID have to drill bumper...that sucked, but can't see it with camera and it works seamlessly with Dynavin. 7. Trunk/map/license plate bulb lights. Weak bulbs. NOT bright. Terrible. Solution: LED lighting. Brighter and whiter. Super easy and vast improvement over OEM. 8. Hold open rod for hood. Ford cheaped out big-time here. Solution: No drill hydraullic hood hold open. No issue now with rod blocking opening. 9. Understand the "simple is better" mantra of the Boss and the upper grill foglight delete distinguishes Boss from GT...But Boss needs more light at night and having foglights for daytime running lights is better than main lights running. Solution: Install CS lower grill running lights. look great and preserve "look" of Boss from front. 10. Notchy shifter when cold. Will upgrade clutch and install better shifter when I can take it no more :)
@@WarDaddy66 originally the option was 302 dollars for obvious marketing reasons, but its gone up since then. 350 is actually not a bad price ive seen some say 600, its worth it though. I love it. What color and year did you get

I would not drive one as a daily. I would still buy one though.
I daily drove mine for most of 2017 until I could buy another beater lol

@@Audfile where are you located? If you are serious join the Boss 302 owners group on Facebook, some selling for reasonable prices
100% agree with S550s just not having that connected feeling. On the Recaro note, I think that should have been a standard option.
I agree I love the recaros, after I sat in one that had them id love to find a set to swap in
That car is timeless
I love it!
How has the mt82 held up
Just survived it's first track day 😁
Can you put any aftermarket track apps on the 2012?
If you install a 13 boss cluster the right way yes. Stock no you cant
Only thing the 2012 has is launch control
I need to do one of these for my car but after owning it for 2 years, I am still struggling to find 5 things... I'll keep looking for some!
You sound like a Tesla owner 😄

A Boss mustangs will always be cool 😎
Thanks Victor, these were definitely little picky things that were mostly self inflicted
I enjoyed this story !!
Lots of stories behind everything except.the trans and seats 😆
Those all seem pretty minor, except for the MT82. I think you have a solution coming for that.
Yeah going to show that off in the next video
Only thing making me not want to buy one. Getrag is dogsht
Im hoping to announce soon!!!! a 60 day countdown will be starting on my purchase of a Boss!
Sweet sweet, can you give any details?

Very nice well thought out list lol, several things on my to do list as well 🤣
I hate that Ford didn’t have my track key and wants to charge me $350 for a new one
Yeah it was a paid add on when it came out, so if the previous owner never bought it then you would have to
