2012 Owner's Guide is out

The file is too big to attach, so you will need to grab it from the link. You will need to select 'Owners guides' in the left menu, then '2012 Mustang' and 'Owner's Guide' to get the file.

EDIT: Link hopefully fixed.

Here's the Boss supplement. 2012_Mustang_Owners_Guide_Boss_Supplement.pdf

And the Quick Start Guide 2012_Mustang_Quick_Reference_Guide_1e.pdf
Tire Warranty Guide 2012_Tire_Warranty_Guide_1e.pdf
and Warranty Guide 2012_Warranty_Guide_2e.pdf

I'm having an "I love Ford - I can't wait for my BOSS Mustang" moment right now. I never had this much info provided by the manufacturer on how to prepare my car for track use - to include current and past Porsches!

Hey mods, this supplement should be a sticky!

Here's the Boss supplement though.

And the Quick Start Guide, Tire Warranty Guide, and Warranty Guides for completeness.
Wow. Page 38, last sentence of Warranty Info, says engine damage may not be reimbursable under warranty even after following guidelines. Did I read that right?

I tried to order the brake cooling kit about a month ago and my dealer told me it showed not available until April 1, 2011. I just emailed him again asking about that, TracKey, trans cooling scoop and the front splitter. I'll post up if I get a different answer on availability. He did give me a retail price of $250 on the brake cooling kit last time. He also gave me a retail price of $1199 on the gauge pack which we now know is even more expensive so will be interesting to see what they did with other prices.

From what I've seen on the brake cooling kit, it's just the hoses, zip ties and ducts that attach at the caliper bolts. It doesn't look like there are any bezels that attach to the outside of the grille to "finish it off". Has anyone seen an after-market cooling kit yet? I bought a kit from JLT for my GT500 and it was less money than the FRPP kit and included bezels that attached to the outside of the grille.

Two pages of track preparation in the supplement and no mention of removing the blanks from the side-exhaust flanges. I guess Ford expects those to be gone within the first few hours of ownership!?!
