Vehicle Description
2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302
The Mustang Boss 302 is a high-performance variant of the Ford
Mustang originally produced by Ford in 1969 and 1970, alongside its
more powerful sibling the Boss 429 Mustang. Ford revived the Boss
302 nameplate for 2012. The standard 2011 Ford Mustang GT's
5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine is enhanced and was referred to within
Ford's development teams as the Road Runner engine.
For consignment, a very desirable 1 of 605 built and one of the
most sought after non-competition model Boss 302 from 2012 and the
blue oval. An exceptionally clean example with a title proven
14,270 original miles, a clean 1 owner CarFax, Race Red paint and a
front and rear aero Laguna Seca splitter and spoiler setup on the
bottom and top of this racer. Some sexy black decal striping,
tinted glass, window sticker, Red Track Key, a 600+hp twin turbo
equipped Road Runner V8, and a beautifully preserved Recaro
interior. With some tasteful and adrenaline inducing mods, the
original Boss owner's kit, the Boss car cover, and a SCT programmer
it's time we race our way to the body of this description and take
a tour of this car.
Exterior
Ultra fine straight steel panels cover the solid framework of this
car, and are all bathed in factory applied Race Red. Don't be
fooled by the mild mannered looks of the Mustang lurking within,
(as if any Mustang could be considered "mild mannered"), as this
edition is built for full on performance. There are a few chips in
the paint, but you must be right up against the body to see them. A
shiny black Laguna Seca chin spoiler, (splitter), hood bump with
black louvered heat extractors and more extractors on the sides of
the hood prior to the windshield, we are firmly planted in
seriously modern muscle territory. With Boss 302 badging dressing
up the side C-stripe that highlights the classic Mustang cove and
runs through the doors horizontally,it's hard to mistake this car
for anything other than a Boss. A glossy black roof and uber dark
tinted glass, including the retro side quarter and rear sloping
pieces add to the menacing allure. That rear glass leadsdown to the
pony car short decklid that ends with a multi-pedestal Laguna Seca
spoiler. The rear sports the triple iconic Mustang tail lighting
and a large galloping horse faux gas filler cap within a matte
black panel. The lower roll pan has a small splitter for some aero
excitement as well. 18 and 19-inch black multi spoke Apex EC-7
wheels are wrapped in staggered width Michelin Super Pilot Sport
black wall tires that are looking like new. Don't forget the
sportly black rocker cladding to finish things out swimmingly.
Interior
Inside the passenger compartment, Charcoal Black suede and cloth
cover the smooth bolstered Recaro racing seats that are factory
installed, and are the center of attention for the passenger
compartment. The sporty dash with blue LCD display instruments
fronts these seats, and uses its sculpted lines to show off
sportiness throughout the interior. The gauge cluster is a
throwback to Gen 1 of this car with the circular flanking large
instruments on either end of the gauge cluster and a central
digital information center. The dash center contains a litany of
push buttons for the AM/FM/CD changer stereo controls and climate
adjustments. A rear 2+2 seat is installed and 2 more can go for the
joyride! Racing between the Recaro buckets is a black plastic
console with an ample glovebox, hideable cup holders and a MGW
short throw shifter. To help keep an eye on vitals we note the
addition of AutoMeter water temperature, oil pressure and oil
temperature gauges along with an AeroForce interceptorOBD2 gauge.
Black carpeting is in nice clean condition, and the headliner above
is lookin' great.
Drivetrain
Under the sculpted hood is the heart of the matter in the form of
the Boss 302 5.0 Liter Coyote based Roadrunner V8 with EFI. In
stock trim this potent engine makes over 444hp, but the wick was
turned up a bit on this example as it now is capable of making
601.9hp on 7lbs of boost and running 93 octane pump gas. Helping
the mill achieve those numbers is an Armageddon twin turbo system
with Garrett GT3076R water and oil cooled ball bearing turbos.
Feeding the fuel side of things is a MSD electric fuel pump booster
and Injector Dynamics 1050X injectors. Our consignor notes that
energy suspension motor mounts have been installed along with NGK
iridium plugs, a Watson catchcan, a Moroso10qt oil pan, and a MMR
racing billet oil pump gears and crank sprocket. Keeping things
cool is a C&R aluminum radiator being fed by a Meziere electric
water pump. For the boost end of the equation, Tial wastegates and
blow off valves were installed as well as a Fluidyne aluminum
intercooler and Kooks 304 stainless headers, down pipes, and charge
pipes. Palm Beach Dyno handled the tuning and a Ben Calimer Stage 2
MT-82 6-speed manual transmission with a McLEod RXT twin disc
clutch and pressure plate is on the back of this buxom mill. Energy
Suspension provides the transmission mount and the power gets
pushed rearward to a Ford 8.8 inch Torsen differential 3.73 TracLoc
rear axle via a DriveshaftShop 1 piece carbon fiber driveshaft with
a BMR driveshaft loop. All buttoned up under the hood with things
looking surgically clean, right down to the dual exhaust that
either routes to the factory side exits or to the rear of the car
via a pair of FlowFX mufflers by Flowmaster
Undercarriage
Simply put, just showroom underneath with factory overspray, aero
coverings, racing inspired Whiteline adjustable sway bars and
endlinks andVorschlag-Bilstein TrackPro adjustable coilovers for
the independent coil spring suspension and a Whiteline watts link
rear suspension which has been fitted Maximum Motorsports control
arms. Power Brembo front disc brakes and standard power rear discs
add the woah factor to counteract the go factor and they have
treated to a Ford Racing front brake duct kit and DBA 5000 2 piece
front rotors.
Drive-Ability
A solid runner, blistering and mind numbing acceleration, and
steady braking with rail-like handling. Inside the Recaro seats are
very comfy, and the instruments are well within the driver's eye
scan. All functions were working well as they should and a very
groovy throwback in some ways, and forward thinking in others test
drive experience. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these
functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot
guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your
purchase.
Just a beautiful example of a 1 owner very nice condition for this
Boss 302 from 2012 with all the parts to make it a true Boss of the
track or the street. Harkening back to the days of earlier models
yet contemporary in its racy design to menace the competition.
Nearly no frowns to speak of and a wonderfully packaged modern
muscle car...win on Sunday, sell on Monday.
