The 2012 Boss 302S Mustang : Latest Cars Reviews

Alton, Va. — The fifth annual Pirelli Ultimate Track Car Challenge was held July 22 at the famed Virginia International Raceway and Ford Racing was there waving the Ford banner.

Ford Racing entered a 2012 Boss 302S, one of two turnkey race cars offered by Ford Racing and rooted in the very successful Boss 302 street car.

To get the most from the Boss 302S, former Grand-Am hot shoe Dean Martin handled driving duties with Ford Racing's own Andy Vrenko. With record ambient temperatures hotter than 105 degrees the cooling systems was taxed and the vehicle reliability was truly tested.

In the first morning session, Martin clicked off a lightning-fast lap of 2:02.2, which was the fastest lap for a factory-built car and the fastest time turned by a Ford vehicle. Despite the extreme July heat, the Boss 302S never missed a lap in all three sessions, proving durability testing performed earlier in the year paid off. The Ford Racing Boss 302S also won the Whoa Wonder award for the best braking system on a factory-built car.

Also in attendance was the Boss 302S of George Winkler. He drove his Boss 302S to an excellent lap of 2:03.5, which earned him the distinction of second fastest Ford in attendance. Rounding out the top three fastest Ford drivers was Chris DeSalvo in his 2011 Boss 302S spec Mustang GT with a time of 2:03.6. Both Winkler and DeSalvo are regulars in the World Challenge GTS class and proved their Mustangs were up to the task by then racing in National Auto Sport Association classes all weekend.

Ford Racing's Boss 302S is a turnkey race car, built in the Ford Auto Alliance International assembly plant in Flat Rock, Mich., which is designed for sprint races, including the World Challenge Grand Touring Series, NASA American Iron Racing and Super Touring 2 and also makes an excellent track-day car.

Fiesta Spec B racer unveiled

Making its track debut at VIR was the Ford Racing Spec B Fiesta, which extends Ford Racing's commitment to grassroots racers and support of the Spec B class. Spec B allows very few modifications, those allowed inclued a full roll cage, typical safety equipment (racing seats, fire system, racing belts) and the spec Ford Racing coil-over suspension kit. Despite these minimal modifications, the Fiesta showed everyone it was up to the task.

Vrenko took the Spec B racer out on its first official lap and immediately felt comfortable behind the wheel.

"The Spec B Fiesta had excellent grip and good entry into the corners, along with accurate and linear steering," Vrenko said. "The Fiesta driving position was very comfortable and the brakes were confident, which allowed me to out-brake a number of high-dollar exotics attending the event."

Overall it was a great shakedown run of the Fiesta Spec B, which should only get faster with time and additional tuning. The Spec B Fiesta was also a hit off the track with many people inspecting it all weekend. Ford Racing Engineering Supervisor Mark Wilson also noted he received numerous thumbs up as he drove through the paddock.

On July 28, 2011 a one-of-a-kind Mustang, the Blue Angels Mustang, was auctioned at the 2011 Experimental Aircraft association AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis. In all, the car sold for $400,000 and came with a Blue Angels flight helmet signed by the current flight team.

The car, which is collaboration between Ford and EAA AirVenture, was inspired by the Blue Angels naval aviation demonstration team. It features a blue chrome finish with a yellow gloss accent and "Blue Angels" scripted along with its iconic crest. On the inside you’ll find The Blue Angels' crest stitched into its leather Recaro seats. As for the car’s powerplant, it is powered by a super-charged 5.0L V8 engine producing more than 500 horsepower. The car also comes equipped with a Ford Racing handling pack, performance exhaust, and racetrack brake components.

"Ford is a long-time supporter of EAA and our mission to showcase the finest innovation and technology in flight," said Tom Poberezny, EAA and AirVenture chairman. "The high interest among aviators in the U.S. Navy and the 'Blue Angels' Mustang team will make this a very sought-after item and ensure EAA's ability to do some amazing things for our future aviation enthusiasts." Ford says the "Blue Angels" Mustang will be on display inside the Ford Hangar during EAA AirVenture.

Looking back, Ford has partnered with EAA for the past three years, creating special one-of-a-kind Mustangs each season. In 2008, they created the Mustang AV8R, with cues from the F-22 "Raptor”. It featured a glass-roof canopy and delivered a record auction contribution of $500,000. In 2009, the AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" auctioned was crafted in honor of World War II aircraft. In 2010, Carroll Shelby, a former U.S. Air Force flight instructor, and Jack Roush, a long-time P-51 pilot, collaborated for the first time to create the SR-71 "Blackbird" inspired by the legendary reconnaissance jet. In all, Ford’s support for the EAA Young Eagles program has exceeded $1.3 million in recent years.

"The Ford Design and Engineering team members have really embraced the opportunity to build these one-off projects," said Kevin Keling, Ford corporate events manager. "We develop the theme early and then marvel at the creativity and ingenuity of the team. This blue chrome paint is fantastic and unlike any thing you'll see in production anywhere. The small details such as puddle lamps projecting jets are amazing!"

The Young Eagles Auction is part of the EAA Gathering of Eagles, and took place on Thursday, July 28, at the EAA AirVenture Museum. According to a press release, the Gathering of Eagles annually draws more than 1,000 aviation enthusiasts in support of Young Eagles and other EAA programs that inspire young people to become the engineers, aviators, astronauts, scientists, and innovators - the aviation pioneers of tomorrow.

2012 Ford Mustang GT

Until now, we have only had details on the 2012 Mustang Boss 302 and the 2012 Mustang Shelby GT500. We think it’s high time we find out what the 2012 model year will bring for the Mustang GT 5.0.

A leaked ordering guide suggests that the 2012 GT 5.0 will carry over mostly unchanged, with just a few tricks made in order to keep the car fresh. The list of new options include a new exterior color Lava Red Metallic that replaces the current Sterling Gray Metallic. The list of new options include selectable effort electric power assist steering (EPAS), sun visors with a multi purpose storage system, and illuminated vanity mirrors.

Everything under the hood remains unchanged. Customers will get the same 302 cubic inch 32 valve V8 that puts out 412 HP and 390 lb-ft of torque while returning a very economical 25 MPG on the highway.

Hit the jump to read more about the 2012 Ford Mustang GT 5.0.

Exterior and Interior

The 2012 Mustang GT 5.0 will look unchanged for 2012. It will be distinguished by the other Mustangs in the line-up by a dark chrome pony in the grille, dual bright rolled exhaust tips, LED sequential tail lamps a rear spoiler, and 18 x8" Wide Spoke Painted Aluminum Wheels. The interior gets bucket sport seats and different chrome accents.

The Mustang GT 5.0 will also get a new exterior color (Lava Red Metallic) that replaces the current Sterling Gray Metallic. The list of new options include selectable effort electric power assist steering (EPAS), sun visors with a multi purpose storage system, and illuminated vanity mirrors.
The Engine

Under the hood there will be the same 302 cubic inch 32 valve V8 that makes 412 HP and 390 lb-ft of torque while returning a very economical 25 MPG on the highway. The engine is mated to a standard 6-speed manual, but also a 6-speed automatic is offered as an option.
The Competition

The most obvious competitor for the Mustang GT 5.0 is the Chevrolet Camaro SS. Like the GT 5.0, the Camaro SS is powered by a powerful 6.2L V-8 engine with an output of 422 HP. With 10 extra horsepower, the Camaro seems have a slight advantage over the Mustang, but with the right driver, that won’t amount to much. Plus the Mustang GT 5.0 handles better, looks better, and has better quality material. Oh, and we can’t forget about the fact that it is also cheaper.
When Can I Buy One?

Expect the 2012 Mustang GT 5.0 to make debut in early 2011 with sales to begin shortly after. Pricing for the car will come with a $500 discount from the previous year’s model. This year, the 2012 model will come with a $29,995 price tag, falling under the $30,000 mark. Unfortunately, the Premium GT model will see a price increase of $200 from the previous year, which isn’t all that high, while the Premium GT Convertible will also carry a $700 increase from last year’s model.

Shelby Comet. Never heard of that, have you? Did you hear of the Shelby Europa? 14 made

Shelby Europa were just getting started by Claude Dubois, who raced a Ford of Antwerp Shelby Gt 350 in Spa in 1967. They came directly from Ford as semi-finished and completed by Dubois. Now it was not very many, 1971 and 72 made a total of just 14 pieces, including two convertibles.There are eight survivors, three of were in Sweden, then Norway, then to Finland.Well, so was there a special

Shelby De Mexico, I learned of them just now, I never heard of Shelby Mavericks either, but here is the scoop (and a reminder about the Shelby Europa)

There's the scoop ( literally ) Naca duct for fresh air and 2 exhaust to keep it cooler under the hood. Sequential taillights, just like the California Specials (originally from the t-birds) with hood pins, and the Shelby rims If you have a Mustang built in Mexico City,Valencia, VenezuelaLima, PeruAmsterdam, The Netherlandsor Sydney, Australiaand want to join the registry, see http://

Mustang Boss 302 2012 Revealed.

Ford calls it's 2012 Mustang Boss 302 "quickest, best-handling" Mustang ever .

Based on the 2011 Ford Mustang GT, the new model 2012 Mustang Boss 302 is inspired by the classic 1969 Mustang Boss.

Ford engineers, stylists and designers have strengthened, lightened and refined the Mustang GT to create "a race car with a licence plate". The team used the BMW M3 as a performance benchmark for the Mustang Boss 302 and claim the car can match Munich's performance saloon for lap time at Laguna Seca.

A new air intake and modified camshafts boost power from 406bhp to 434bhp in the 5.0-litre V8 engine taken from the standard Mustang GT, while 380lb ft of torque is produced. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed close-ratio manual gearbox.


Performance is further enhanced by higher-rate coil springs, stiffer suspension bushings, a larger-diameter rear stabiliser bar, 14-inch Brembo front brakes and a race-inspired clutch. The Boss also comes with adjustable shocks and a speed-sensitive electronic steering system with three modes: comfort, normal and sport allowing the driver to adjust the car to their liking. A limited-slip differential is available as an option.

Styling changes to the exterior include a unique front fascia, a modified grille, a front splitter, and lightweight 19 inch wheels. Inside, the cabin boasts a revised instrument cluster, an Alcantara steering wheel, dark metallic trim and optional Recaro sports seats.

The car also features a unique quad exhaust system with two outlets exiting at the rear and two outlets exiting just ahead of the rear wheels. The two additional outlets send exhaust gases through a set of metal discs that provide the Boss Mustang with a unique engine note that meets road noise level restrictions. The discs can be removed to provide more noise when circuit driving.

A track-oriented Boss 302 Laguna Seca special edition model has also been revealed, which takes away the rear seats and adds race-ready suspension and other aerodynamic upgrades. The Laguna Seca has increased body stiffness, a firmer chassis set-up, new front and rear spoilers and is decked-out in Black or Ingot Silver paint with red accents.
