2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Why This Car Is Special We have a 2012
Ford Mustang Boss 302 here at Skyway Classics that has almost a
sacred name for Ford enthusiasts. Ford hasn't used the name Boss
302 since way back in 1970 when the original left production. And
Ford hasn't built a Boss Mustang of any sort since the 1971 Boss
351. Until, that is, the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 we have for
sale. Built around a fortified version of the Mustang GT's new
5.0-liter DOHC 32-valve V8 that can run way to 7,500 rpm with 440
horsepower. The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 was (by factory rating)
the most powerful Mustang Ford had ever sold without forced
induction. Features 2010 Ford Mustang Boss 302 5.0-liter DOHC

Our Boss starts out with the new 'Coyote' DOHC 5.0-liter V8 built
around a fortified version of the Mustang GT's new 5.0-liter DOHC
32-valve V8 that can run way to 7,500 rpm with 440 horsepower. It
has a new set of cylinder heads that was developed with
CNC-machined ports that allow better breathing at high rpm. More
aggressive camshafts were also fitted to take advantage of the
increased air flow. The valvetrain components were lightened to
better survive those higher engine speeds and new sodium-filled
exhaust valves dissipate heat more effectively. New forged aluminum
pistons and sinter-forged steel connecting rods were also added to
solidify this 302's bottom end. The more obvious change from the
outside is the adoption of a new short-runner composite intake
manifold sitting in the valley between the cylinder heads. Ours
looks as new and wait till you hear it! Interior The changes to the
new Boss 302 interior were more extensive. In the driver�€�s seat,
you certainly feel like the boss, as tooling around town you�€�d
think you were driving a Ferrari by all of the looks and thumbs up
that you get. It has Recaro Boss 302 embossed tan bucket seats, tan
carpeting and Boss 302 floor mats, all power accessories, air,
stereo radio, matching rear seat, 6-speed floor shifter, console,
and like the engine, looks as new. Exterior From its old school
side stripes to the black power bulge hood, the look is total
nostalgia. Ours has a blacked out roof panel and Competition Orange
paint job that only adds to the BOSS 302 heritage inspired look.
From the front the look is more modern, but also very mean, with a
large blacked-out grill, with blocked off fog lights and a lower
apron with attached splitter. Out back there�€�s a rear spoiler and
black tail panel between the vertical tail lights with sequential
turn signals. The Boss rides on black 19-inch wheels wearing
Michelin performance black sidewall tires and Brembo dick brakes
also but about the sweetest twist in the looks is the blocked-off
holes for the GT's driving lights. It looks tough and race-like.
Naturally, all Boss 302s get a heavily revised suspension. The
stiffer springs result in a slightly lower ride height (11mm in
front, 1mm in back) while firmer bushings and a thicker rear sway
bar further stiffen the ride. Five-way-adjustable dampers are also
part of the package, along with an adjustable electric steering
box. Conclusion The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 we have here at
Skyway Class
