I think what's geting some of the Boss '9 fans so upset is that it actually did pretty well in NASCAR but not at the drags.
You guys gotta realize that these things were made for sustained running at high RPMs, not sprints like a drag race is. Also Ford, like other companies put more money into their NASCAR teams than drag racing so they could fool around with these motors more.
No one doubts a Boss's ability--Hell, I'd buy on of Kaase's tomorrow if I could, but dolloar-for-dollar it just wasn't the "silver bullet" (catch the sarcam?

) that Ford hoped it would be.
