Pulls 1.2 G's, 0-60 in 4.1, 1/4 mile in 12.3
And has a new sticker of under $50,000. Laps Laguna Seca in 1:39...which of course can't touch a well set up 944.
Road & Track test and video of the new Boss 302 Mustang "Laguna Seca" version. Those who can't handle the truth, please don't click the link. I mean, it may be as offensive to you as Sniper's pics of his nubian beauties...  This car may be as ugly as a striped up GT3 RS, but...

It's almost as cool, fast, sporty as a miata.

The Honda Insight has a far superior powertrain, and gets four times the fuel economy.

Nice car, GREAT "coyote" engine. But it is still a Mustang-
That means....cheap everything Ford. I'm sure it will outrun my 928; I'm sure it has 28% of the class- N! |

I like it, minus the decals. I'd also have to lower it another 1.5" as there's to much air between the fenders and the tires.

1.2 G's with a solid axle, is that close to a record for a street car?

That's 1.02 G's, not 1.2 G's...
Still, a lot of car for the money. Can't stand all the graphics, though. JR |

I like it too -- but paying an extra $7k for the Laguna Seca package is a bit over the top, IMHO.
I'll take a 'base' Boss 302 without the gawdy Laguna Seca paint job, and upgrade my suspension myself. Could probably get a decent track oriented suspension for under $7k easily. Boss 302 -- I like. Boss 302 'Seca -- not so much... -Z

Different vinyl graphics on it and it would look fine, maybe make all the orange bits matte black; how easy is it to remove the splitter to drive it on the street?
