2012 Ford Mustang BOSS 302 Laguna Seca being shown off at the 2011 Sac Auto Show (11/13/2010). How do you amp up a performance car package as complete as the new 2012 Mustang Boss 302 – already a street-legal race car in its own right? Pull out everything that doesn’t make it go faster and add in more of what does. The result is the limited-production Laguna Seca package – the ultimate 2012 Boss, named to commemorate the first-place Boss 302 finish at the 1970 Trans-Am series opener. “The Laguna Seca package puts a race-ready version of the new Mustang Boss 302 directly into enthusiasts’ hands,” said Mark Fields, Ford president of The Americas. “Laguna Seca isn’t intended for Boss buyers who simply want an exhilarating daily driver. Think of it like a factory-built race car, which we hope avid racers and track-day fans are going to love.” Boss Laguna Seca builds on the bumper-to-bumper improvements found on the standard Boss while further stiffening the chassis and installing an aerodynamics package carried over almost in its entirety from the Ford Racing Boss 302R. “Drivers who know how to get the most from a tuned race car on a closed course are going to be amazed by what the Laguna Seca is capable of,” said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development. “The balance, agility and tuning of each vehicle system places the driver at the center of the machine, completely connected to everything the car is doing.”

Here’s another short clip I made of our car today after we installed our offroad x-pipe on our 2010 GT500. The car picked up a solid 15rwhp on a Mustang Dyno simply from replacing the stock midpipe with our offroad one. The pipe takes less than 40 minutes to install and not only unleashed a few more ponies it also woke the car up and it now sounds like a real mustang should. Beside the offroad x-pipe all we have on the car is a custom SCT tune done by Jon Lund and the set of 20″ True Forged wheels. Everything else is stock. The car with those mods put down 486rwhp on UPR’s Mustang Dyno in the 90deg FL heat. We’re very impressed with the gains as well as the sound. For anyone that’s interested in our offroad x-pipe we have them in stock available to ship the same day you order.

Not two months after unveiling the restyled 2010 Mustang, Ford pulled the wraps off the latest version of its Shelby GT500 super-’Stang. As if the previous version’s 500 horsepower wasn’t enough, these new GT500 coupes and convertibles pack a projected 540 pavement-ripping ponies from their supercharged and intercooled 5.4-liter V8, while delivering about two more miles per gallon on the highway. Peak torque has increased from 480 to 510 lb.-ft. and the rear-axle’s standard ratio increased from 3.31:1 to 3.55:1, promising truly scary acceleration. Outside, the reworked heetmetal is augmented with a new functional extractor to vent under-hood heat and a “Gurney Flap” rear spoiler. Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) says it used the 40th anniversary Shelby GT500KR “King of the Road” Mustangs as its performance starting point and built from there.

Another great night at the track. The Lethal Performance 2010 GT500 made its way deeper into the 9′s cracking off a 9.66@146.19mph. The weather was in the 60′s with a little bit of moisture in the air. Jeremy Martorella of UPR Products pulled the car up to the line for our first run of the evening. With the 2 step set at 2100 he made the launch. First gear looked awesome and so did the 1-2 shift.. However after the shift the car broke loose and started going sideways but Jeremy’s professional race experience got the car back in the groove and down the rest of the track shifting as fast as an automatic could. As he passes the traps the board lit up with a 9.66@146.19mph. The car ran 114.14mph through the 1/8th. This is still using a 4″ pulley on the 4.0L Whipple which produces 21.5psi. We were using C16 with no methanol and this is blower only. We’re going to continue working on the suspension and once it’s dialed in we’ll turn up the boost. Our goal is to make an 8 second pass with the 6 speed making it the first GT500 in the 8′s with a manual transmission. Big thanks to everyone involved.
