Let’s be real for a second here. Despite the fact that most of us have moved on to “big boy” jobs where the only risks come from downsizing and outsourcing, many of us still harbor the secret fantasy of being a race car driver. But unless you just won the lottery, got a big promotion, or inherited a whole mess of money from a distant, deceased relative, the dream of being a race car driver will never be more than a dream.
If nothing else though, it gives us something to strive after, as well as an excuse for trolling eBay for legit race cars to buy. If you love road racing as much as we do, than Rehagen Racing’s Mustang BOSS 302R looks like the perfect start to your own private racing team. You just have to pony up $120,000 for eBay item 151109304269 to make it yours.
The twist, turns, and drama of road racing is where it’s at for us, and this 2012 BOSS 302 R has been set up by Rehagen specifically to compete in the 2013 Grand-Am series. In fact, this car is prepped and ready to hit Laguna Seca for the next Grand-Am series race in just a couple of weeks; with the right qualifications you could literally be racing in the car next month.
The Roush-Yates prepped racing engine is paired with a beefy BOSS R six-speed manual and features special engine oil pan baffling to keep the lubrication flowing even in high-speed corners. The modified Torsen differential has 3:73 gears and big Brembo brakes up front help with stopping, while the rear brakes are borrowed from a Shelby GT500. And let’s not forget the suite of safety equipment like roll cage, fire extinguishers, and data acquisition equipment to see how well the car performed.
Should you win this auction, you’ll also get a spare set of wheels, spare bodywork, and you might even be able to work out a deal with Rehagen for full racing support at Laguna Seca. You know, in case you can’t get all of your boys out to the race in time to serve as your pit crew. Might want to bulk up on lottery tickets if you want to make this dream weekend come true, -happy bidding.
