DEALER DESCRIPTION
Laguna Seca Package Takes New 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 to Track-Ready Condition Please ask for Tony Fuentes, General Manager, for details. Selling Price $68,465.00 Laguna Seca package pares the race-inspired 2012 Mustang Boss 302 down to its essential elements, with aggressive suspension, chassis and aerodynamic tuning creating a ready-for-racing Boss Ford Mustang team members developed the package to provide weekend racers with a factory track car that could be driven to the course, take the win, then drive back home again R-compound tires, rear seat-delete, aggressive front splitter for track use, and rear spoiler and rear cross-car bracing shave seconds off track times and boost lateral acceleration to 1.03 g How do you amp up a performance car package as complete as the new 2012 Mustang Boss 302 already a street-legal race car in its own right? Pull out everything that doesnt make it go faster and add in more of what does. The result is the limited-production Laguna Seca package the ultimate 2012 Boss, named to commemorate the first-place Boss 302 finish at the 1970 Trans-Am series opener. The Laguna Seca package puts a race-ready version of the new Mustang Boss 302 directly into enthusiasts hands, said Mark Fields, Ford president of The Americas. Laguna Seca isnt intended for Boss buyers who simply want an exhilarating daily driver. Think of it as a factory-built race car, which we hope avid racers and track-day fans are going to love. Boss Laguna Seca builds on the bumper-to-bumper improvements found on the standard Boss while further stiffening the chassis and installing an aerodynamics package carried over almost in its entirety from the Ford Racing Boss 302R. Drivers who know how to get the most from a tuned race car on a closed course are going to be amazed by what the Laguna Seca is capable of, said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development. The balance, agility and tuning of each vehicle system places the driver at the center of the machine, completely connected to everything the car is doing. Chassis enhancements Laguna Seca cars are powered by the same smooth, high-winding 444-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 as the standard Boss, since the engine was already tuned specifically for road racing. Engineers then turned their attention toward delivering power to the ground most efficiently, and getting the car around a track in the quickest possible time. When we built the Boss, we had to step back and ask ourselves How do we improve on this? said David Pericak, Ford Mustang chief engineer. That car is so strong we realized the Laguna Seca package was going to have to be just a fraction of a step back from the Ford Racing 302R to top it. So we went back and threw daily-driver practicality out the window, cut some things we couldnt cut on the volume model, like the back seat, and built it the way we would set up a production Boss for pure competition. Laguna Seca cars eliminate the rear seats, instead adding a cross-car X-brace that couples the structure between the rear wheels. The brace offers chassis stiffness improvements of as much as 10 percent and allows the suspension tuning precisely calibrated by Mustang team members to better do its job. Standard Recaro front seats were designed by Ford SVT in cooperation with Recaro for high-performance Mustang models, and are shared between the Boss and GT500. An Alcantara-covered race steering wheel provides a solid grip for hard cornering. Engine power routes through a six-speed close-ratio manual gearbox to a standard 3.73-ratio Torsen limited-slip differential, helping the revised rear suspension deliver maximum torque and traction under the punishing conditions encountered on the track. Higher spring rates and a larger rear stabilizer bar all upgraded over Boss specifications help generate unrelenting grip. And drivers can dial in exactly the level of shock stiffness a particular track requires using the four standard, independently adjustable dampers with Laguna Seca-specific valving. The final touch was to add the proper wheels and tires: Laguna Seca models use lightweight 19-inch alloy racing wheels in staggered widths: 9 inches in front, 10 inches in the rear. R-compound ultra-high-performance tires, 255/40R-19 in the front, 285/35R-19 in the rear, maintain contact with the pavement a job that ended up being trickier than expected. The R-compound tires on the Laguna Seca are so sticky we had to really work on the rear suspension tuning to make sure drivers can get the most out of them, explains Pericak. The rear stabilizer bar is the largest weve ever installed on a production Mustang including any SVT product. The rear spring rate was also maximized to work with the massive rear tires and balance the car for outstanding lap times. While standard Boss 302 cars get vented brake dust shields to help cool the rotors, Laguna Seca models receive Ford Racing front brake ducts that force outside air directly onto the brakes.
$20,000 over MSRP? Rediculous!

It looks like there are 4 Black Boss' and 1 silver all listed on Car.com at list. My guess is none of them will actually sell them for list, I called one dealer local to me today on the carpet and of course they wouldn't sell it for list. If one of you guys out there is a Lawyer, I'd call them on bait and switch!
