CAR MODIFIED WITH NITROUS OXIDE SYSTEM

"The Ford Mustang Boss 302 is back. And... it's... awesome. If a bit tacky.

Power from the 5.0-liter V8 is up to 440-- 28 more than the standard 5.0 -- horsepower and 380 lb-feet of torque thanks to revised cams, new intake and a tweaked ECU. Following the power flow, the engine's hooked to a six-speed manual with a short shifter, 3:73 gears and then your choice of the standard limited slip or an optional Torsen unit. After that? Pirelli Pzeros: 255/40ZR19s for the front, 285/25ZR19 out back.

All that wasted energy the engine can't turn into power, it turns into noise (well, some heat, too, but that's for another day) and that noise is now louder. Ford removed 11 pounds of sound dampening and put side pipes with "attenuation discs" that can be removed for additional noise. How cool is that from the factory?

On the aero side of the coin, the foglamps are blocked off, there's a new front splitter from the Boss 302R and a unique deck-lid spoiler.

The suspension and electronic power steering have also been revised to keep this power under control.

There will also be a racing edition Boss 302 bearing the Laguna Seca nameplate.
