The Mustang's teat is red and sore from how much Ford has been milking its pony car in recent years. Not only Ford, but everyone. Tuners and custom chops have created new-school versions of classics like the Twister Special and GT500KR, while Ford has been keen on whoring out nameplates like California Special and Mach 1.
Thankfully, the Mach 1 played its role well: in-line with the original concept of a model between the GT and the Cobra, just retro enough, and packing a legitimate performance boost over the GT.
Now, after what feels like ages...the Boss is back. Had to be said, you knew it was coming, and that's the only way to say it. Thankfully, the new Boss 302 will be trying hard to do the nameplate and its Trans-Am heritage justice. To make sure it can run with the modern performance crew, Ford claims to have benchmarked its new Boss against the M3 - yes, the BMW. That's a start...
