302 cubic inch 5.0L V8 has been brought from the standard 420 hp up to 444hp with 380lb/ft of torque thanks to quite a few adjustments such as an all aluminium lightweight engine block, dual overhead cams with 4 valves per cylinder, fully forged internals, a newly designed intake to deal out maximum air flow, fully adjustable shocks on all four corners and a 3.73 short gear ratio to help with hard and fast acceleration times. All of this helps the Boss reach a top speed of 155mph. Recaro seats not only provide an excellent seating position, but hold the driver firmly in place while simultaneously providing a comfortable place to be during longer road trips. The 6 speed manual gearbox is accessible through a short-throw shifter with a pleasing old school aesthetic. Mounted on the steering wheel are some of the functions we are now used to seeing, such as cruise control and entertainment unit commands. The wheel is also wrapped in alcantra to improve the sensation on the points of contact. While interior storage is ample (cupholder, door pockets and a large center console and glovebox) everything is camouflaged well with the rest of the interior design so as not to cause an eyesore. The Boss 302 is immediately distinguishable from regular Mustangs via the iconic “C-Stripe” or “Hockey Stick Stripe” for the 2012 and 2013 years respectively. The Quad exhaust (two out the back and two out the side) adds to the amplification of noise in the cockpit and creates a wonderfully chaotic roar for bystanders. A front splitter adds 90lbs of downforce at 120mph and keeps the front end firmly planted to the road, a small wing does the same for the rear end.
