2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302


For those who have more disposable income and less of a social conscience, Ford has something to offer in the way of the Mustang. Hell, it also provides the base model V6 307 horsepower and is capable of 30 mpg on the highway, but in reality we are here - the Mustang V6 is suffering crippling stigma, a girl car. Like the Mazda MX-5, can in competition, as long as you like, but most people buy with an XY chromosome is not logical.

I was lucky, the Ford Shelby GT500 last year, the top dog, 550 hp supercharged V8 with Mustang, Brembo brakes and a bright red paint with white racing stripes. It was great, and I said the last great muscle car. I was wrong. Ford had something up his sleeve.
While the big dogs of journalism automotive learned a long time to spend with the main circuits variables (Laguna Seca), which was limited to one day - less than 24 hours in the real world - and decided to eat in a series of five hours and unit of energy drinks as much as possible before the car had to be returned.

The Mustang Boss 302 is actually up to 110 hp and 130 lb-ft of torque Shelby, the nature of their 5.0L V8, only 440 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque (5.0 V8 engine model uses a similar movement, but with different internal share is limited to 412 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque). For many geeks with little experience behind the wheel of the gap between the head and Shelby is scared, but in the real world, the drive that is 302.
The difference in weight between the two is not sharp, with the head, weighing 189 pounds less than the Shelby, but the way in which state power-down the head much more attractive, with its gentle rise and constant 7500 rpm redline with an array of NASCAR as a glorious soundtrack of the cabin (and some friends assured me, a deafening noise from the outside).

Shelby with 550 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque load, the effort, in fact, the force put on the ground - the throttle in third, and cash back and forth like a spring break revelers drunk, as wheel drive encryption. With the boss, not a little drama on the back is short for bad rapid acceleration from 3.73 to 60 mph, while the optional limited slip differential that provides traction. The Boss 302 is a 6-speed manual transmission is easy to handle, even better than the Shelby is that it requires much effort.

When the Shelby does not prevail in the interior, where a complete set of features such as a touch screen navigation system Ford SYNC with a Shaker 1000 audio system, leather interior and black plastic bean receives less. The Boss 302 is very Spartan, who can live, but may be hateful to those who can actually afford this car. The optional Recaro seats deserve a mention for the comfortable and extremely useful, and come with holes for the straps, although appearing in a rear seat is not fixed, like a bad idea. This is a $ 1,995 option, and is combined with a limited slip differential come. This is not a bad price, but in a vehicle, an LSD like this should be the norm.

The stereo is a real piece of shit that does not fit the base of the party, and let's be honest here - a large part of the whole track experience muscle car-loud while driving on the main road. Ford to kill him, sort of halfway in a car that made over $ 40,000 it cost?
The
exterior is the exact opposite of the closing of the cabin. Until there is a new grille and fascia with integrated separator. On the back are two huge rear exhaust. In addition to receiving the Boss GT 302 is covered with the top leadership and a rear wing and if he is paired with custom graphics and wheels 100 percent of the dishwasher door, that is.A track car you can live with.
