2012 MUSTANG BOSS 302 OWNERS GET COMPLIMENTARY BOSS IMMERSION, TRACK TIME

Just posted on the Ford Media site:

FORD SETS 2012 MUSTANG BOSS 302 OWNERS LOOSE WITH COMPLIMENTARY BOSS IMMERSION, TRACK EXPERIENCE
  • Boss Track Attack program, offered through Team Mustang and Ford Racing, and complimentary with purchase of a Mustang Boss 302, will feature a Boss immersion, driving instruction and track time.
  • Event will take place at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah, using both Mustang GT school vehicles and 2012 Mustang Boss 302
  • Dates and additional program details will be available in early 2011


DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 11, 2010 – Buyers of Ford’s highly anticipated Mustang Boss 302 will now get a hands-on track driving experience to learn just what their car is capable of as part of a new complimentary program being announced today.

“The Mustang Boss 302 is a very special vehicle, tuned to perform on a racetrack,” said Mickey Matus, marketing manager, Ford Racing. “It’s an absolute blast to drive on the street but we want owners to be able to experience all the incredible balance, power and performance engineered into this machine, and the only safe way to do that is to push the car to the limit on a closed course. This is only natural, since the Boss grew up on the racetrack.”

The Boss Track Attack program, offered through Team Mustang and Ford Racing, will feature a full Boss immersion, driving instruction and plenty of track time with engineers and racers. The experience is designed to give Boss owners a comprehensive, hands-on look at exactly what their cars are capable of – and just how much fun they can be.

Boss Track Attack will take place at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah, outside of Salt Lake City. Boss owners will need to make their own travel and lodging arrangements, but once in Utah, the full track experience – including cars for the event – is courtesy of Ford.

The evening before the track day, owners will be treated to a welcome reception followed by an in-depth immersion into both the non-product and product stories of the Boss 302, focusing on how the program came to be and the underlying engineering and design philosophy. The next morning, participants will convene at the track for a full day of driving instruction and course time.

“Practice makes perfect, and in this case it’s going to be a ton of fun, too,” said Jamie Allison, director, Ford Racing. “There’s nothing like the experience of being behind the wheel of a high-performance car on a dedicated track. It’s the environment that breeds incredible machines like Mustang Boss, and for owners who want to experience all these cars are capable of, we can promise an unforgettable event.”

More details about Track Attack, including dates, will be available in early 2011.

given the amount of media representations Ford is making about how this car is specifically engineered for the track, there will be a large class action lawsuit if they don't. But in this case, there is particularly nothing to worry about, as:

Well ford also makes commercials & posters with our mustangs burning out, but try and walk into a ford dealer for a warranty claim after burning out.


So it's worth a second thought unless stated in paper that being on the track won't void your warranty, it's silly how a dealer can tell you, you shouldn't have chirped the tires on your 400hp v8 pony car.

how about this quote from the TracKey article:
Despite its race course aspirations, the TracKey programming is still usable on the street. Although the calibrations are based off those used for the race-spec Boss 302R, Pericak notes both engine settings are emissions compliant -- although the quick throttle and menacing rumble of the track tuning "leaves refinement at the door." Better yet, Ford's factory warranty is unaffected by prolonged use of both the TracKey and the launch control system.

Sweet. Didn't even realize it! Thanks guys. It's pretty easy to loose track of time over here. I appreciate all your warm thoughts and will make sure to tell my buds here with me.

Now back to the AMAZING BOSS 302!!!

edit: see you at the school! (whenever that is)
