I saw that too. Also said USB port. I think the BT statement is a mistake but I hope I'm wrong. With a Shaker 500 stereo and can stream audio from a device via BT so maybe it has that functionality. The USB port would be nice for changing my iPhone.

They took this long to produce a review and they still couldn't get the facts right.

That's what I thought. It's amazing how many reviews still say the Boss only has 440 HP too.

".. if you read the other press reviews you know the auto media went beaver love on the Boss 302. Here is my take. The Boss is the best balanced Mustang, however... it is still a Mustang but Ford pushed the bar further than ever...

Good find, good vid!

That was one of the best, if not the best, videos yet, very informative and exciting.

Dave Pericak at 5:03 "You know I just want people to understand the passion that went into building this machine because it shows in the vehicle, it shows when you're out driving it, and that's what this car is all about."

Dave if you're reading this, let me just say that after a week of owning this car, I DO UNDERSTAND, AND THANK YOU

To you and the entire Boss team, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Great video, one of my favorites so far. I liked going "all Zinardi" when he messed up the corkscrew and "all Bieber" when talking about the media.

Just an FYI, The hard copies are hitting the News stands. AutoWeek and Road & Track have a Boss on the cover.

MT has the Boss on the cover as well. C&D has a review but it didn't make the cover.
