I've seen back to back dyno runs of silver key and red key. 6-10 HP increase & 10-20 torque. 93 octane. Also, It is never mentioned that the Boss has more aggressive gearing.
@BMB063 Its not what this car is about, dont be fooled this car is a track car thats why the top of the line version is named after Laguna Seca. So in a track car you want the least amount of stuff in the car. If you want something more usable get the GT as it literally means Grand Tourer and has all the creature comforts you could want in a muscle car.
Exactly. People really have no idea, in general, the point of this Boss 302. Jay Leno has a good review of the Laguna Seca which describes the cars intentions better with an actual Ford designer.
That car is a press car. When the guy opens the hood it's production number is not there, I think I saw MP001. It's not a production Boss 302. I have one and it's #1493 and there is no rust on the exhaust. Instead of MP001 we should have see, like mine for exemple : '' vehicle number 1493. so we don't know what kind of cheap steel they use for the exhaust instead of stainless steel.
Where the hell are the chromium enhanced parts under the car? Despite that I would love to own one of these anyway. I am sure I can install a laptop in this to to record some data.
Awesome vehicle, retro dash, 444 bhp, looks cool, short throw shifter, fun to drive, great price point. Anthropic global warming skeptics have all the fun.
@buckwheat40 They r selling and selling quite well actually. There aren't too many options out there for a pure electric car but the ones that are out there are selling.
Why CNET not drive this Boss on the track ? Why a parking lot with pot holes and muddy water? Good details on the specs but not fully driven to its potential.
Torsen is for laying down power in the curves and the Recaros are for holding you in the seat.......What's so weird about that combination??? Powerbulge hood not indicative of a Boss 302 just an attribute it shares with same Mustang body style. The cars color is Kona Blue. Long live the BOSS 302!
@pwned000 I beg to differ. I'm an avid enthusiasts and there are many other high profile enthusiasts that would agree with me that there is at least one they'd buy/drive and that's the Tesla Roadster Sport.
im a mustang guy, and even though bringing the classics back to life is cool ford needs to step their A game they should at least add bluetooth, a navigation system or something. idk just my opinion.
This guy obviously studied all the 2012 Boss specs pretty hard but doesn't know jack shit about the heritage. It was never about Ford being down on motor size to GM. In fact Ford usually had larger motors before GM. The Boss was about Trans Am homologation after the GT350 was shut down. Both similar to the Z/28, Challenger T/A, and AAR Cuda. The SCCA called for a 5.0L displacement limit so all ran 5 Liter motors (although the Mopars got 340s on the street cause they realized that handicap didn't carry over and people wouldn't mind a bigger motor anyway. The same year Chevy followed suit putting a 350 in their street Z/28 for 70)
I get that it is based on performance, but the interior tech just sucks...like i just feel like they could have at least had navi or bluetooth or somethingggg
Today, I got my balls fed to me by my new neighbor with the 2012 ford mustang gt. I have a 2004 gto. I called him out, we went to the highway with medium traffic, no chance to drag, so we did a high speed, lane switching touge battle. I must say, I thought I was king of switching lanes, till he gave me the biggest spanking ever. Dude was pulling moves i only dream about, from fastlane to right-shoulder at 140mph, while I struggled to keep up. DAMN. I gotta get one soon.
So, a segment about cars that mostly car enthusiasts would watch didn't think that we'd catch the fact that that's a Boss 429 and not a 302 at 0:07... Pathetic...😑😒
@FearBeyondTheMist yeah nothing like gas guzzling, not being able to get the power down, not being able to anywhere outside a straight line, unreliable, money absorbing machines. yep thats where its at.
You poor Americans, 91 Octane IS the cheap stuff in New Zealand and Premiun is 95. But at least you can buy these cars, the Mustang is only just starting to be introduced by Ford NZ. Dodge only sells the Journey, and No Chevy
Not versed on your fuel ratings, huh? The United States uses AKI(anti-knock index) measuring system. Most of the rest of the world uses RON(research octane number). U.S. 91 AKI octane is equivalent to 95 RON octane. The Boss 302 5.0L Coyote engine has an 11.0:1 compression ratio, so it requires fuel with as much octane as permissible here stateside.
well if the specs are BOSS/E36 M3 444hp/321hp 750nm/350nm 0-100kmh 4sec/5,2sec tops at 250kmh and i have proven that mine is not restricted at +280kmh(kmh meter ends at 280kmh) (that i will not say is true if the cops ask =D) then i could say that eventhou it might beat at start it will end at 250kmh =) and to post a video on YT on speeding... i would but dont wanna go to jail to prove it and there is no Mustang BOSS 302:s in Finland sry =)
Anyone else notice the rust on the exhaust at 5.06 I'm not trying to bash the mustang but its a 2012 and its already rusting... cheaply made if you ask me
muscle cars especialy a boss doesnt need sync or gps and crap like that because ford knows people will gut this car out put a roll cage in it and race it and the sync system sucks anyways
It comes with limited slip at no cost, this is a clutch pack style, wears out quickly and can't handle a ton of power, relatively speaking. The upgrade you pay for is to a Torsen limited slip which is the best limited slip out there by far.
the boss Ford 302 is the greatest engine ever made by Ford. proud Ford man for life
This Boss belongs on the track! Not a parking lot!
This guy sure seems to know his stuff
Actually he doesn't. That is the ONLY wheels available on the Boss 302, unless you go with the Laguna Seca edition. There was NO optional wheels.
@@Mustgtcs07 my 12 boss 302 came with the wheels off of the boss 302S.
why is the exhaust pipes so damn rusty already?..
Nice review but driving a boss through watery potholes and muddy grass. WTF?
DUNEYXZ lmaoo
I've seen back to back dyno runs of silver key and red key. 6-10 HP increase & 10-20 torque. 93 octane. Also, It is never mentioned that the Boss has more aggressive gearing.
There is no HP gain from using the red key. It simply changes throttle response, lopey idle, engine breaking, and some other things.
I have that car. It's freakin' amazing! :D

You showed a vintage mach 1 engine at 0:48-0:50
No, that is a Boss.
well I love my 2012. It is unbelievable.
Wow that is one nice car! Sounds like a beast!!
Definitely my next mustang the 2013 Boss 302 ! Can't wait to try out that Track key and Quad exhaust.
@flames8889 its normal on all cars it spot rust can't be helped, but if you know cars then you should know that
Love my mustang!!!
The 2013 Boss 302 will have the tech package.
I think you should review the new improved 2012 Honda Pilot since you have many complaints about the center stack.
i wonder the difference between track key and a bama tune?
This guy Jay Leno and Tim Allen should be on Top Gear America.

Good catch. All true.
Where the hell are the chromium enhanced parts under the car? Despite that I would love to own one of these anyway. I am sure I can install a laptop in this to to record some data.
@Mario4Italy Yeah, I was really taken back by the amount of rust already accumulating underneath.
Awesome vehicle, retro dash, 444 bhp, looks cool, short throw shifter, fun to drive, great price point.
Anthropic global warming skeptics have all the fun.
I want this car so bad!
Honestly the driving he did makes way more sense to a normal person than track footage imao
i need a front end for a mustang the same shape as that 2011 model any one no were i can get one? im in england
man i'm loving this 302!
Launch control on a Mustang . . .what is the world coming to . . .LOL! I can't lie, I still love it.
Brian`s got a very fitting name, he truly is COOLEY, :D
Damn that car is BOSS!!
@seany1417 it's a track car, man. it's meant to be raced more than daily driven.
@flames8889 That's the question:). I'd rather prefer the stainless exhaust in this...
Brian please review the new V6 mustang
Thank you
Can someone tell me the name of the car's color?
I have the RC of this car... it rocks! I can make it drift!
did he say mouse fur?
what a car, gotta love the american muscle car!
@buckwheat40
They r selling and selling quite well actually. There aren't too many options out there for a pure electric car but the ones that are out there are selling.
Instead of calling the red key "Track Key" they should have called the blue one "Wife Key".
Why CNET not drive this Boss on the track ? Why a parking lot with pot holes and muddy water? Good details on the specs but not fully driven to its potential.
This guy sounds like he knows his stuff.
The car looks great but I'm not sure I like those big superfluous pipes just so it sounds better.
you can get the navigation system
This is my last dream car
Why you guys hate her so much :( It looks beautiful!
why is the car so rusty?
Get a 4 door CTS-V, that is a real kick ass family car!
brain's awesome!!!!!!!!
Torsen is for laying down power in the curves and the Recaros are for holding you in the seat.......What's so weird about that combination???
Powerbulge hood not indicative of a Boss 302 just an attribute it shares with same Mustang body style.
The cars color is Kona Blue.
Long live the BOSS 302!
LIKE A BOSS!

im in love!
anyone knows the song's name kicking in at 5:44?
gotta love american muscle, USA all the way!

The boss should come with 505 hp stock.
i want the classic oneeee
Love it love it love it
Like a BOSS!! :D
Why so rusty??
oh and i'm not hating on the car. I'm a mustang guy .I own a 2002 mustang gt supercharged with many mods and really low miles.
@ray5961 Chrysler didn't build a minivan until the mid 80's
150 club
6:39 ooouuufff
I get that it is based on performance, but the interior tech just sucks...like i just feel like they could have at least had navi or bluetooth or somethingggg
Totaly agree with you there, I sugested the Bimmer to that idiot because he don't seem interested to domestic car
I think its safe to say that the normal key would find its way to the trash...
I WANT IT ! I WANT IT
love it
@mouse fur. Brian, you slay me.
Nice, nice
The big hood bulge is a stock Mustang hood
that's cool dude calm down
Today, I got my balls fed to me by my new neighbor with the 2012 ford mustang gt. I have a 2004 gto.

Review 2012 Chrysler 300
So, a segment about cars that mostly car enthusiasts would watch didn't think that we'd catch the fact that that's a Boss 429 and not a 302 at 0:07... Pathetic...😑😒
No track keys for cali!!!! ;(
Sweet

finally a car with no tech bullshit that goes fast.... i like it itd whoop a camaro everyday that ends in y. nuff said
This is just a bad ass car...how you supposed to beat a car thats named Boss?
BOSS
They dont get new cars. Im pretty sure its a demo model.
E36 M3 3.2L Cabrio ´98 Vs VW Jetta 2.5L.... doubt its going to be interesting... unless its on nitros like in F&F =D
ha its kind of ridiculous we have to take a step back and think, "what the hell this guy is trying to say."
@buckwheat40 I think you mean, "They're a bunch of idiots." Sorry man, had to do it to ya haha.
@FearBeyondTheMist yeah nothing like gas guzzling, not being able to get the power down, not being able to anywhere outside a straight line, unreliable, money absorbing machines. yep thats where its at.
I'm waiting for an all electric mustang...
You called it pal
That poor Boss......
I wonder which one of my organs I am going to have to sell for one of those??????
You poor Americans, 91 Octane IS the cheap stuff in New Zealand and Premiun is 95. But at least you can buy these cars, the Mustang is only just starting to be introduced by Ford NZ. Dodge only sells the Journey, and No Chevy

Well at least in this review he isn't driving a sports car through the dirt.
well if the specs are BOSS/E36 M3 444hp/321hp 750nm/350nm 0-100kmh 4sec/5,2sec tops at 250kmh and i have proven that mine is not restricted at +280kmh(kmh meter ends at 280kmh) (that i will not say is true if the cops ask =D) then i could say that eventhou it might beat at start it will end at 250kmh =) and to post a video on YT on speeding... i would but dont wanna go to jail to prove it and there is no Mustang BOSS 302:s in Finland sry =)
Anyone else notice the rust on the exhaust at 5.06 I'm not trying to bash the mustang but its a 2012 and its already rusting... cheaply made if you ask me
3:10 "one gear shift only" WTF?? is he serious?
muscle cars especialy a boss doesnt need sync or gps and crap like that because ford knows people will gut this car out put a roll cage in it and race it and the sync system sucks anyways
The PERFECT car for someone going through a late/midlife crisis that doesn't understand the value of technology.
No thanks.
@krocialblack This guy Jerry Seinfeld Jay leno should be top gear american trust me on that
The fact that you would have to pay extra for a limited slip diff on a car like that is pure nonsense.
It comes with limited slip at no cost, this is a clutch pack style, wears out quickly and can't handle a ton of power, relatively speaking. The upgrade you pay for is to a Torsen limited slip which is the best limited slip out there by far.
i think i just jizzed :S
the interior looks the same as the 2015 model my aunt has weak
+Kevin Lara. The 2010-14 Mustang interior looks nothing like the 2015 Mustang interior.
You're an idiot. I own a 14 and they look NOTHING alike.
