The 2011 Boss 302 Mustang from Ford is supposed to be the Mustang for the hardcore track day enthusiast. Under the hood is a more powerful version of the stellar 5.0-liter V8 found in the Mustang GT, except in Boss 302 form it packs 440 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque, as opposed to the GT’s 412 hp and 390 lb.-ft. of torque. Up until now there has been no information in regards to pricing on the race inspired pony car. Most people speculated that pricing would be set around the 38k-40k mark and now, according to Autoblog.com, we can confirm that they were right. Apparently a forum member over at TheMustangSource.com has some inside knowledge and has reported that initial pricing on the Boss 302 will be set at around $41,000, that’s big money for a Mustang especially considering that it still has a live rear axle. Decide to fully option it out and you’re looking at over $47,000.

   

Keep in mind though that for this amount of money there are a lot of used cars out there with plenty of track pedigree that can be had. A clean C5 Corvette Z06 for example will run you about $20-$25k and is a rocket on the track. Then there are spec Miata’s, Subaru STI’s, and Mitsubishi EVO’s, cars that when all is said and done may be a better bang for your buck.

   

As of yet there are no road tests on Ford’s newest track machine, so with that being said I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what kind of performance the new Mustang really offers.

Nice car and we all knew it was gonna happen when the 5.0 was released. I am still waiting for the release of a new Mach :)

I talked with our Mustang clubs FMC rep and he said he doubted a Mach will be released anytime soon since the 03-04 Mach was not that successful for Ford.
The coolest feature of the soon to be released Boss, this is awesome!

Some people will just have to have one no matter what the price. There was a one hour show on SPEED TV about the old and new Boss 302 last night.
