Welcome to Mustang country, where spitfire tailpipes are the norm and singed facial hair is in style.

This Boss 302 is claimed to be the highest horsepower, naturally-aspirated Coyote road car in the country.

Oklahoma-based auto shop Classic Restorations will build “new” 1970s-era Mustangs with Ford’s blessing.

The Boss 302 might be a fish out of water at Le Mans, but that doesn’t stop it from being a blast to drive.

Is Ford trying to tell us something about a new Boss 302?

So, you’ve got 440 horsepower, a 6-speed gearbox, 3.73 gears, lightweight wheels, a downforce-generating aero package, and some sticky rubber — what are you going to do with it?

Pitting a Mustang Boss 302 against the new Shelby GT350 seems a lot like a title fight between an outgoing heavyweight champion and a new contender.
