Similarities GT3 and Boss 302






Yep, that's a Laguna Seca version...evidently, it's owner downed a lot of beers at a BBQ, decided to go for a spin. (pun intentional)

Red trim looks butt-ugly on either car

I think they both caught a reflection of them selves in a big window and decided to end it all.

No arguement from me on that one...both look like something a high school sophomore would draw during study hall...

Hoping no fix on the Boss...lots of goodies on that car. Imagine Laguna Seca mechanicals in a Bullitt.

Ahhh, but suspension is easy to do...ditto driveline. Engine/Transmission and computer controls are the real key. Other than computer stuff, should be a pretty simple bolt in to the previous body. Bullitt already has the same rear end, 3:73 limited slip. A safe bet that some are already after the salvage...

A limo ride home would have been cheaper. Neither car looks like it harmed innocents, that's the best I can say.

After reading the title, I thought "Man, Paul is pushing everyone's buttons on the Boss 302 and will not let up.....again". My bet is it's a high school kids car; driving too fast in the neighborhood and swapped paint with someone/something.
