Ford’s 2012 Boss Mustang 302 is a unique approach to a performance Mustang, intended to give nod to the Boss Mustangs of yesteryear, while also smashing the performance specs of your father’s Mustang.
To do this, Ford made several changes to the internal workings of the new 5.0-liter V8 found under the hood of the latest Mustang GT, and in the process boosted horsepower from 412 to 444, while slightly lowering the peak torque. While some were quick to call that a poor compromise, M3-beating track times at Laguna Seca, and overall drivability that our own Jack Baruth raved about says otherwise.
But it turns out that even with the slight drop in torque, the Boss still does a decent job getting off the line at a drag strip. A new video shows a brand-new Boss 302, complete with window sticker in place, hitting a Maryland drag strip with nothing but a set of drag radial tires and churning out an impressive 11.72 second quarter mile with a trap speed of 117.2 miles per hour.
