C&D: Boss302 = Best. Mustang. Ever.

Got my new Car and Driver magazine today, where they had a pretty much complete road test review of the new Boss302. Throughout the article they compared it favorably to both the GT500 and the GT, and concluded the article by saying it's the best Mustang ever made, so it's clear to me they meant better than the GT500 as well as the GT, but more from the standpoint of a track-oriented car that you can drive daily.

They also included some info on how few Boss302s will be built, and it was surprisingly few, a fraction of how many were made in 1969.

Although they fell all overthemselves praising the Boss, the interior came under fire more than in any recent tests; at one point they indicated that the 2012 Focus interior was of better quality. Yikes!

PS - In the same issue, the new Focus 4-door won a comparo against some stiff competition. NICE!

That is all.

Sounds good. I think the didn't like the int. was bc the GT and GT500 both have premium features that make for a great DD. The Boss not so much. lacks creature comforts but who needs those on a track car.

Hope I get mine tomorrow! Sounds good to me. Been getting C&D for 20 years, I'm 33. This is the 1st year I remember they've praised Mustangs.

I have no doubt this is the BEST MUSTANG EVER! I will absolutely covet everyone I see! That said, if I had one I'd likely miss my electronics package, dual climate control... What can I say, I'm old and spoiled.

Now if I win the lotto next week......more hot rods...more better.

Good to hear.

Yep, our interior is lacking compared to even the Focus, IMO.

They don't like the interior because they're insufferable, latte sipping dash strokers.

They should also learn to drive. They always get the slowest quarter mile times out of the Mustangs.

I believe that I speak for all Boss 302 owners when I say,

"Sync??!! We don't need no stinkin' Sync!"
