The real problem is that horrid paint scheme. Almost hulkamania.

I know the Boss 302 is a decent performer but I just can't get into the looks of this car for the life of me. The stripes and everything just remind me of a ricer import car kind of and the way the spoilers are different colors.

FAIL!!!!!
Doesn't the BOSS come from the factory with a 4 point roll cage? I don't think a fire suit is necessary but I guess there's no such thing as being too safe...

maybe so.....I certainly couldn't see one that could do you any good in the interior shots.....but the things I listed are REQUIRED to run those speeds/times on THEIR track. That was my point.....WHATS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE, IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER. when it comes to safety.....especially when they are at their own facility.....their should NOT BE A DIFFERENT STANDARD.

Negative, it does not. You could be thinking of the backseat delete/X-brace... or perhaps they are the same thing and I have no idea what I'm talking about. hah.
