2014 ford mustang boss 302 laguna seca
Two. That's
the number of times this author looked under the 2014 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna
Seca to ensure that some of the cunning Ford employees had not replaced
the solid axle with elegant trousers setup-independent rear suspension. It
is not as if the boss were suddenly devoid of hop axis or radically
more adept at navigating corners off-camber and irregular pavement are
other current Mustangs, but Ford has finessed the stick shaft to the
point where it no spoils one otherwise good time. Still, we wanted to be 100 percent sure that the company we had not slipped a ring.
You have the power, Stand Up and Shout
Similar disbelief is inspired by the 444-hp, 5.0-liter V-8 under the hood lives. Unchanged from the unit in the past year reborn Boss 302 / Laguna Seca models who joined the Mustang GT in our 2012 10Best Cars roster-still represents the pinnacle of race. (You can ask the engine of the Founder to the letter if you wish.)
If you've kept up with the current generation Boss 302 in all, you are certainly familiar with his trick exhaust system. Like any enthusiast red blood stopped exhaust restrictors Laguna Seca this model immediately after arrival for maximum beast mode. The roar is visceral and intimidating and remains fully melodious from the depths of idling at 7,500 rpm redline of the V-8. Pin the right pedal, and corrupts sound like an opiate; a sample and you're hooked, condemned to spend the rest of their days cruising dark streets and highway tunnels in search of a suitable place for a hit that sweet, thunderous elixir. Leave the gas, and withdrawals of bellows staccato bursts of burbles and pops, the motor press against the back as Zeus accidentally farts in his Olympic jacuzzi.
Beyond its sound, the engine pulls strongly in virtually all the tachometer; rotating one of six forward selected through a lever round black changes that perfectly fits both the hand and feel of the car. In about half of the circumference of a billiard ball, it is one of the many small details that Ford has already received right.
X marks the spot
Look behind the front seats Recaro of Laguna Seca, and thus find anything. Okay, so it's not entirely true. A burly, X-brace tubular chassis rigidity is installed in the rear seats can be found in smaller Mustangs. (For 2014, the key is finished in gray, toned down the bright red used last year. The contrasting colors vaguely cheesy outer roof have been eliminated, too.) He says that improves rigidity by up to 10 percent, strengthening It joins a larger rear stabilizer bar, manually adjustable dampers with Laguna Seca-specific valves, and higher spring rates to provide a sharp reflexes that a standard head step. The result of all this hardware is delightfully neutral handling and understeer as scarce as bow in Dearborn.
Dry Laguna has a 3.73: 1 rear axle ratio and rear Torsen limited to maximize all 444 ponies, but too anxious at launch, slip differential and is still easy to induce some of the tramp aforementioned axis. (Mental note :. Axis Tramp is a great name for a 'hair band metal retro glam 80) As our test pilot said on the track, the room temperature for one of the many heat waves Michigan this summer may have affected the grip and power as track numbers and acceleration skid-0.96 g 12.7 seconds in the quarter mile-seemed to be a little lower than it should have been for this oriented model racing track. Proof of a regular 2012 Boss 302 (also with exhaust restrictors removed) in September 2011 was presented to our best Boss numbers to date: 0.95 g of grip and a quarter mile of 12.4 seconds.
