So it's great for burnouts, huh?
my experence is similar, although I would give the paint finish and interior fit and finish to GT350, slight edge in exterior fit/panel gap to boss 302. There weren't any TSBs for rear bumper on B302I have to agree that the Coyote engine in the Boss 302 was just a terrific engine with outstanding low end torque and to be quite honest the Laguna Seca cars that I had were just as fast as any of my GT350/R's in a straight line partly due to the very sticky P Zero Corsa tires along with the low end torque as mentioned. That tire to me is certainly superior to the Cup 2 tires on my R model.
Back in 2015 when the 50th Anniversary Mustang GT first came out I had both a 6 speed and automatic and enjoyed these cars immensely with the advertised horsepower of 435 HP being probably somewhat accurate but after driving my Boss cars right after the 2015 Mustang GT cars no one can tell me that there was only a 9 HP difference between the two vehicles. At 444 HP the Boss 302 engine was definitely underrated and probably closer to ~480 HP at the crank.
I recall having a couple of car buddies dyno test their Coyote engines and they came in at 416 HP to 420 HP at the rear wheels which certainly confirms much more than the 444 HP as advertised by Ford with stock quarter mile times of 12.3 and zero to 60 of 4.1 seconds and confirmed how much faster it was than the 2015 Mustang GT cars at 435 HP.
When it comes to the Voodoo I also agree that it is a very high strung exotic engine and that Ford certainly went out on a limb in order to develop this 315 CI FPC engine. Unfortunately some individuals such as yourself and others have found out that some of these exotic engines had a few internal issues. Myself and all of the many car buddies of mine that own these cars fortunately have not had any issues to date and certainly feel for the small percentage that had some engine failures.
My personal experience with respect to paint, body fit and finish between the 2 cars (Boss vs GT350) is very similar with a slight edge to the GT350 on paint and exterior/fit/ finish/panel gap and found that the fit and finish of the GT350's interior somewhat better than my Boss cars.
It was based on what you said and what I know.
Not sure I follow your logic. You can brake traction in a BR-Z if you floor it from dead stop in 1st gear. That doesn't mean you have too much torque.
I get it now.
What does the length of a thread have to do with the number of failed engines? The reason the blown engine thread is so long is that a lot of the comments are from know nothings, and in particular a couple of know nothings, who are just posting to stir up the pot. There are also lots of posts by people just speculating and guessing without adding anything meaningful to the discussion. That's why I deleted my posts in that thread and unsubscribed from it. If that thread was just the people who had actual experience with a blown motor, or people who at least knew what they were talking about, it would be a lot shorter.
Man I have to stop you right there. The least you can do is call the motor by its correct name. The Boss 302 has the "Road Runner" V8. It's just a small abeit very annoying point of contention with me having owned a 12 RR Boss 302 numbered 1930.
