Boss beats M3 around Laguna Seca


One is a working class, best-selling American icon. The other is Bruce Springsteen. But only one of these can whup a BMW M3 around Laguna Seca. And it ‘ain’t Bruce…

Ford has pillaged its fertile back catalogue and resurrected the legendary Boss 302 badge for its ‘fastest ever’ Mustang.


The original Boss 302 was built for Trans Am racing and featured a 4.9-litre V8 (302 cubic inches) and churned out around 350bhp.


So in commemorating this icon, Ford needed some serious firepower. Ergo, the new Mustang Boss 302 is fitted with a 5.0-litre V8 producing 434bhp and 380lb ft.


To make sure it doesn’t powerslide into the nearest tree/hedge/rock revival, the Boss 302 gets higher-rate coil springs, stiffer suspension bushings, and adjustable shocks and struts. And they really are adjustable, using nowt’ but a screwdriver.


You will notice it also gets a slightly altered face, some 19-inchers and a few interior details – revised instrument cluster, optional Recaros and some new trim.


There’s even a track-special of the Boss, called the Boss 302 Laguna Seca, which strips the rear seats, adds race-ready suspension and features a firmer, stiffer chassis setup.


Ford’s mission statement for the original Boss 302 was to create the best all-round performance machine ever created by the company.


With the new one they got more specific – a race-car with a licence plate.
“For us that meant a production Mustang that could top one of the world’s best – the 2010 BMW M3 – in lap times at Laguna Seca”, says Ford.

“We met our expectations.”
