  1. The Porsche is exciting at 100 mph because it grips so well and seems predictable. The Boss 302 has refinement for its time. But the Boss 302 is exciting between 40 mph and 60 mph. I remember the crate motor Trans Am. It was all muscle car with a crazy powerful motor. It might step out at any time, so you have to be at full attention each moment. The noise, the suspension float, the slop of the transmission. Pure drama. But that Trans Am was all fun. A wild horse just barely under control. The Boss 302 has "tighter suspension," and a motor that is a better fit for the chassis. 290 HP is a sweet spot. I am sure that a race ready Boss 302 had tighter suspension, manual steering and lots ripped out to save weight. The street Boss 302 is as "wild as we could make it." The Boss 302 could be a daily driver in the early 70's

  2. Love the 3/4 camera shot! That should a standard feature in each video.

  3. That Boss 302 is a racing car. Put up the revs and let it rip. A Detroit V8 is my happy sound. The T-Grip is iconic. Love this car.
