The GT 500 has always been badass, but this one is a true ground breaker. The new generation of Mustangs are simply OFF THE HOOK. Even the V6 is over 300 HP.

For a sticker in the low 40s, you can also get the BOSS 302. Designed on the race track by Ford Racing, it's dominating literally everything it goes against on track - the M3, Vettes, Porsches.

444 HP - with no turbo/forced induction

7,500 RPM redline (stable to 8,400)

0-60 3.93 seconds
YouTube video

1/4 mile: 12.3 seconds @ 115.8 MPH

Capable of 1+ lateral G

Laguna Seca lap times:
Mustang GT 500 1:44.32
BMW M3 1:42.96
Audi R8 1:40.75
BOSS 302 1:40.21

Motor Trend at Laguna Seca Raceway:

Uuuungh. I really don’t need any temptation come spring time. Damn, smoking the R8 on Laguna Seca, that is impressive.

Looking forward to seeing these bad boys running in Rolex Sports Car series and/or American Le Mans. I hope someone also takes it to the big daddy race at 24 hours of Le Mans. I’ve always rooted for the ‘Vettes in that race, despite being a Ford guy.
