2012 Ford Boss 302 - First Drive
Last Updated on Monday, 21 March 2011 08:26 Written by Christopher Ihara Sunday, 20 March 2011 10:11
From 1969 until 1970 ford produced a high performance variant of the Mustang called the Boss. That car wasn’t born a legend, rather that is a title it earned in racing circles across the country. It can be said that this was the Mustang’s first foray as a street legal version of their Trans Am dominating racecar. Ford’s 2012 Boss 302 Mustang sets the stage for a repeat performance.
After the success of the original Boss, it would not be until decades later that Ford would try to produce street legal racecars again. In 1993, 1995 and 2000 the SVT Cobra R hit the streets as Ford’s street legal factory racecars. These exclusive cars were available only to licensed racecar drivers (with the exception of the 2000 Cobra R which was available to whomever had the appropriate balance in their checking account.) Low production numbers kept these cars out of the hands of all but a few lucky owners. 107 cars were built in 1993, 250 in 1995 and 300 in 2000.

DEARBORN, Mich. – April 12, 2011 – At the age of 17, Brian Deegan left his home in Omaha and headed for Southern California with only the F-150 he drove, a credit card and his dirt bike, dreaming of becoming the next big thing in Motocross. That 1989 Ford truck carried him and his dreams halfway across the country and to an entirely new life – the one he pictured growing up in the heartland. In the 17 years since Deegan has become a recognized innovator of FMX, one of the most decorated X Games athletes and an icon in action sports. He’s not done yet. Deegan is now looking to take that same competitive fire to four-wheel motorsports and again looks to Ford to help him get there.
