I like this quote from Ford's marketing VP about the new Boss 302:
"Jim Farley, Ford’s group VP of global marketing, didn’t have to fly to California for the debut of the Mustang Boss 302. No one told him to. He came anyway. “I’ve been driving my own Mustang right through the past two Michigan winters thinking about this project,” he says. “From a business standpoint, the Boss 302 shouldn’t have happened. But it happened. My dream for the car was that it would make a lot of money for a guy street racing. It should be a car that winds up on YouTube doing something illegal. I’ve been waiting 20-plus years to launch a car like this.”"
I doubt you'd hear something like that from Honda or Toyota execs.
Ford is going in the right direction with this new generation mustangs. 300hp, decent fuel economy, very good handling starting 22,000? Can't beat that.
Just a thought, with the boss 302, did they upgrade the exhaust much? Since it looks like a stock muffler with a chrome tip attached.
From Car & Driver's Review:
"All of this is accompanied by a mellifluous, resonance-free exhaust note that is an unlikely aural confluence of, say, Lexus
IS F and Roush/Yates Sprint Cup engine. It’s a four-way exhaust—two sewer pipes astern and one per side exiting just in front of the rear wheels. A restrictor plate in each side pipe lends the Boss federal pass-by legality, but the baffles can be unbolted in less time than it takes to read this review. It’s lucky that the rumble is so rich, because the engine is seriously loud at idle.
"
Yep, I had a customer put down a deposit on a factory order for our single BOSS 302 allotment - within minutes of us confirming that we could get one. (it's a dealer lottery, not every dealer will get one..)
My coworker was able to use our Airdrie AB store's allotment to get an extra one for his customer.
These puppies are going to be sold out before they hit the ground.
440+hp FTW.
Very excited to get ours. My customer has already promised to bring it out to some track days so I can teach him how to drive it!
The fan boys will never get it. American want the most horse power at the lowest price. The Boss 302 weight less, have more hp, more torque than an M3. Can't commend on the handling but Mustang's handling has been vastly improved compare to the previous gen to the point that it's a completely different car now.
^imo the highlights of features on wiki:
-forged rotating assembly, CNC ported heads, revised camshafts and a high flow "runners in the box" intake taken from the 302R racecar
-A 3.73 rear axle uses carbon fiber plates in its limited slip differential
-body is lowered 11 mm up front and just 1 mm in the rear
-The shocks are adjustable at the shock tower by using a flat head screwdriver.
-wheels are 9-inches wide up front and 9.5-inches out back and come within Pirelli P-Zero tires
