Ford Mustang Boss 302
Saturday, March 15, 2014
The boss is back – and it’s back with a vengeance. Meet the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 – said to be the quickest, best-handling straight-production Mustang ever offered by Ford, based on the strong foundation provided by the 2011 Mustang GT. The model has been upgraded in nearly every aspect including engine output, brakes, suspension, interior and exterior all examined to optimize weight, aerodynamics and track performance.
The decision to build a modern Boss was not entered into lightly,” said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development. “The entire team at Ford felt the time was right and with the right ingredients, the world-class 2011 Mustang could support a successful, race-bred, worthy successor to the original Boss 302. For us that meant a production Mustang that could top one of the world”s best ““ the 2010 BMW M3 ““ in lap times at Laguna Seca. We met our expectations.”
To celebrate the victory and the racing heritage, Ford will offer a limited number of Boss 302 Laguna Seca models for those interested in more on-track driving. The 302 Laguna Seca has increased body stiffness, a firmer chassis set-up and an aerodynamics package carried over almost in its entirety from the Ford Racing Boss 302R.
So what’s under the hood? The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 uses the same 5.0L V8 from the 2011 GT but to achieve the high-rpm horsepower to make it competitive on the track, Ford added a new intake, revised camshafts and a more aggressive control calibration. All that results in 440-hp and 380 lb-ft of torque. Power is transmitted to the wheels through a race inspired short-throw, close-ratio six-speed manual transmission handles gear change duties.

Monday, August 2, 2010
A dozen Americans were very lucky few owners of one of the world's hottest sports cars, Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione, the beauty of Italy should return them to improve quickly after it was discovered that certain models are produced with no right front and rear suspension nut torqued up and the ball down together. recall also affects the MY 2008 Maserati Gran Turismo and the Quattroporte that share the same platform with the Alfa.
Overall, Maseratis and Alfa 8c 7912 Competiziones will be remembered in America. While the Italian car maker did not disclose specific figures, we know for sure that it is only allocated 84 Alfas in the U.S.
Maserati says that the ball properly torqued nut may loosen due to vibration, together with the steering wheel, metallic voice growing and progressive loss of precision in transient driving. According to the Italian car maker, continued to use the vehicle in this condition can cause damage to the suspension lever, which in the long term and depend on the use of vehicles, can cause the ball joints / suspension arm to break.
The company's dealers will inspect the torque of the front / rear nut ball up and down together and, if necessary, replace the suspension arm and hub carrier. This recall is expected to begin in February 2009. U.S.
