Auto News: Whats going on
 
I like to talk about cars, and I didnt see a lot of this, if any of it, posted here.

first off, Ford ups the ante again with 2012 Boss 302.

440hp 380ftlbs 5.0, and a special race-ready version will be available. Will sit between GT and GT500.

When does the new trans am come out?

Frosty 08-19-2010 10:03 PM

Al, you're a sad excuse for a Fbody owner, how DARE you post up anything but Fbody/GM ball licking....how DARE you post up something from Ford on a Fbody site. /sarcasm :rofl:

That Wrangler interior looks great! It's a shame...it's still.....a Wrangler....

BonzoHansen 08-19-2010 10:30 PM

that mustang looks like a bucket of crap.

Anti_Rice_Guy 08-19-2010 10:53 PM

Mustang looks uglier than usual, but seems like fun to drive.

Wrangler isn't supposed to be nice.

FlyingDutchman 08-19-2010 11:04 PM

Mustang is ugly.



Saw a Tesla Roadster yesterday, all electric. Looked pretty sharp, very small.

God forbid you tell the Fordies on GMI that. They start reporting posts, posting pics of old Boss's, and even compared it to the Porsche GT2 RS.

The car is bad ass, and exactly what the Z28 should be, not what it will be.

maroman88 08-19-2010 11:15 PM

mustang looks like its confused with a riced out civic paint job..

wrangler looks nice... but not for a wrangler, it supposed to be rugged and covered in plastic and rubber inside, the bosy color roof looks weird as well

LS1ow 08-19-2010 11:55 PM

theres other pics of the boss that make it look nicer than it does in that pic. and its the first production mustang w. a side exhaust since the new edge roush

glad to see a thread like this I like reading the stuff you post Al. Mustang looks ok i guess but I love the power being made from a 302.

I've seen pictures of the new Boss in different color schemes and it looks much better than the one in the pic Al posted.

CHRIS67 08-20-2010 07:16 AM

:shock: Looks like the A-Team got their hands on a Mustang!

it's still butt ugly.

r0nin89 08-20-2010 08:49 AM

Why does the mustang have a retro 80s lifted truck paint scheme?

If the red was white or grey it would look much better I think.

Agreed. Tasteless is still tasteless, regardless of hp levels and tech.

that's not just any Boss 302, thats the Lagnua Seca edition mustang....why they chose the red/black combo is beyond me, since Laguna's colors are neon blue/orange ??

LS1Hawk 08-20-2010 09:37 AM

Yes, the Leguna Seca edition is supposed to be a "race-ready" version...I don' think it is street legal. Here's some pics of the standard 302.
