Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

Yes, and YES

There is one good -- if nerdy -- reason to not hotlink pics. The domain lookups and server calls absolutely crush page load times, which in turn makes google unhappy and penalize a site.

That said,

And then there's this

Someone please explain that weird exhaust crossover. Does this thing have dual tail pipes and dual side pipes?!

Electronic Cut-outs for the track? That is the only thing I can think of.

Edit* web site only lists it as a Quad exhaust...

Let's see. Solid rear axle, check. 440 hp - no, I'm betting it's between 350 and 400. But it only weighs 2400 lbs and is smaller than a Miata

By the way, the Boss does indeed have factory exhaust cutouts. Not electric, I think you have to remove a plate.

440hp IS the stated HP but it's definitely NOT smaller than a Miata, although it feels like it from the inside. It's on a full size car chassis not a smaller pony car chassis and it's no where near 2400 lbs. 3200-3400 I'd believe.

I believe Keith was Juxtaposing the Boss Laguna against his MGBGT LS1 car... As shown on a lift in his last picture. His MG has a solid rear axle, a 350ish horsepower engine, and a smaller than miata body.

The perfect back flip with 1/2 twist. Didn't stick the landing though...

Hey, now!

Peter Dumbreck managed to stick a four-point landing, albeit a bit off track:

And survived essentially unscathed; he's still racing in the FIA GT1 World Championship.

Exactly. I thought it was funny that I had the same picture of my own car.

By the way, Ford says the 2012 Boss is 3631 lbs. So if park my Locost on top of the MG, it'll weigh about the same as the Boss And size? The Mustang is 35" longer than the MG.

I never noticed the 2nd car wasn't the Boss.

In reply to carguy123:

Yeah, it was that great big red MG badge on the front that gave it away for me. And the smaller Corvette badge on the grille that gives a bit of preface to the engine noise.

I still want to stuff one of these in a notchback mustang and go run in the "all-motor" 4 cylinder class.
