Quad exhaust, tunable shocks stock, and 7500rpm redline engine with forged internals. Other than the mt82 shifter, this car is solid and a real drivers car. I have a Z06 and very much enjoy it, but the 302 gives me a complete different ride/excitement thrill, so much that I'm keeping mine. They are understated, and often unknown. But everyone, and I mean everyone that goes for a ride, smiles while doing so. I believe these cars will age well :⁠-⁠)

The Boss 302 'never' gets old.. after 10 years of ownership - every time.. Fun.

"Gotta get into it" feel free to hit 7100 rpm. She's truly an American exotic. Can't ring it out without breaking laws. I have a 2013 GHIG #2337 😊

You do realize the Boss 302 is nothing like a regular Mustang GT right? It was built for the track. 3:73 rear end gears, Torsen LSD, 2 piece drive shaft, 5 way adjustable suspension, forged engine internals, milled heads, short shifter, etc, etc... Then, the Boss 302 Laguna Seca is another level above that with rear seat delete with frame / body stiffener cross bars in its place, Etc, etc. Then, the red track key which was optional and had to be purchased and programmed by dealer way back then unleashes a whole other level.

Judging from the read-out below the tach, you are not using the red trackey. If that is the case, borrow a Boss with the Tracey installed. You WILL notice quite a difference in performance. The Tracey changes over 200 engine parameters. Quite possibly this Boss has been tuned by someone to get the same results.

The original BOSS came to popularity in Trans Am racing, in ‘69 and ‘70 , with Parnelli Jones winning the championship in 1970. The ‘12 and ‘13 BOSS 302, is a factory Track car with the (Red track key)! It totally changes everything about the car. It will tell you on the center Instrument display for (Track Use Only) After you crank the car up, and it recognizes the parameter changes with the red key. My good friend has one. When he purchased the car, The previous owner never had the the quad exhaust, (block off plates) removed. It lets you hear the Exhaust, right below the opening of the doors . If you look underneath the car, you will see them. If you do not feel , or hear any exhaust coming out of those flat pipes….the block off plates, are still mounted at the main exhaust manifold ports, near the driveshaft. He took his to a muffler shop. They put the car on the lift… and Unbolted the quad manifold pipes from each main exhaust , and removed the plates. Billy Johnson , Professional race car driver that drove the Ford GT at Le Mans in 2016 … told me personally…The straight axle ‘12 and ‘13 BOSS, is the best handling solid axle sports car ever made. He helped FORD develop and test drove the IRS S550 Mustang GT500 and the new Ford GT. He has driven for Jack Roush , and drove a solid axel BOSS R ..road racing Years ago with Jack Roush Jr. He’s driven every kind of car, and helped his friend Vaughn Gittin, with RTR suspension development. The shifter is sometimes problematic on the MT82 transmissions, and can be replaced by Several good aftermarket companies, one being MGW…It’s really not the transmission. It’s the shifter that can give problems. Billy told me…to tell my friend, Asking me about Purchasing the ‘13 BOSS…not to worry about the transmission, that it was a wonderful car. I’ve known Billy for a good while. I met him years ago, driving for Jack Roush. I’m here in NC , that’s how I connected with him, with a good friend that worked with Roush! Get you a Red Track Key, If you haven’t already! Then let us all know what you think …With an updated video, part 2!

Sorry serious Ford guy here and I hate to tell that 5.0 in the boss is not called a coyote it's called a road runner it's got slightly beefed up internals a higher redline as you said you were correct on that. And if anyone thinks they need to argue with me google the boss 302 on Wikipedia if you want to and go see for anyone's selves it's free but if your a true car guy you want argue you will know what im talking about

Well solid axle Mustangs dominated in European racing back in 2005 or 2006 and it was so bad they gave the cars 200kg weight addition penalty to bring balance to the field.

2013 boss 302 owner here. The only issue I have is the gearing with 3 73 is to short on the mt82

that was granny shifting too. I always shift my car up to at least 7000k rpm sometimes 7500 lol. the boss loves that shit.

i daily drive a 2014 S197 and the solid rear axle isn't bad.

need a z3 review in my life

Damn.. you seemed to be giddy the whole drive then judged it pretty harsh

Well i daily drive a 3v with the live axle its not bad at all honestly and i wasnt here to gove you hate i jsit called out your mistake and you didnt like it my bad ill unsubscribe if you like it dont matter to me at the end of the day im a car guy yoyr a car guy it what it is man just was trying to point out the mistake and the other oart of my comment was cause i habe a hard time with folks on here

Poor engine bouncing off rev

The boss 302 is the perfect balance. Most mustangs to me are kinda lame. But the Boss seems like a 1960s style racer. Except with ac

Miata ....lol 🤫😊🤣🤭
