Mustang Boss 302 Video
Of course you don't need to wait for the Speed Channel tonight to get a taste of what the Mustang Boss 302 is all about. There's a Ford produced video on YouTube that will give you a lot of background. Best line of the 5-minute video would have to be, "It's a race car with a license plate." There are lots of quick interviews with Mustang product guys.
Probably the best info to come out of the video is the reminder that Ford is offering a limited number of Laguna Seca Boss 302 Ford Mustangs. The Laguna Seca package pares the race-inspired 2012 Mustang Boss 302 down to its essential elements, with aggressive suspension, chassis and aerodynamic tuning creating a ready-for-racing Boss. It has R-compound tires, rear seat-delete, aggressive front splitter for track use, and rear spoiler and rear cross-car bracing shave seconds off track times and boost lateral acceleration to 1.03 g (which is sick).
No official pricing has been announced but that hasn't stopped TorqueNews' Patrick Rall from getting Mustang Boss 302 pricing info for you (including pricing info on the Laguna Seca, which is a true race car and not street legal).
