This is my amazing 2012 Boss 302 Laguna Seca (#649 of 750).
About the Laguna Seca model, it is a factory option that is the track-oriented version of the Boss 302. On top of
the standard Boss it included the paint and decal scheme, the rear seat delete kit with crossbrace, different
adjustable damper settings, different springs, staggered and different style wheels, different tires, a different
rear spoiler, lower production numbers and probably some other things I can't recall. It also included a different
front splitter, transmission air scoop, and a brake cooling duct kit, but they are not factory installed on the
car, they come in a box. The car comes with a silver key and a red key (the TracKey.) This is so you can use the
regular engine tune or the TracKey tune, depending on which key you use. The TracKey programming (Which is
purchased aftermarket and installed by a Ford dealer) includes several differences, most notably the removal of the
skip-shift "feature" that annoyingly forces you to shift from 1st to 4th under certain acceleration conditions, and
improved throttle response. I mention the throttle response because for me, it is the most noticeable difference
between the keys. The regular key responds fine to throttle increase, but has a tendency to hang at RPM when you
reduce throttle. The red key responds instantly in both directions and adds a lot of character to the naturally
aspirated awesomeness of the car. The red key also has RPM adjustable launch control, pit lane speed control, and a
more aggressive idle. When you shift gears with the silver key, it sounds like it's ripping open a black hole,
while the red key usually includes some wonderful popping sounds.
Those are general Laguna Seca highlights, let's talk about this car:
I am the original owner and am very sad to let it go. However, my loss is your gain!
I bought the car in Delaware in December 2011. The miles are mostly highway, as the car has been all over the US.
It's been garaged for most of its existence, just not the last 6 months. My expectation after buying it was to keep
it forever.

Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.
Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
