Boss of the Resarch Foundation

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca Grabber Blue


This Boss is a very special Boss. You see the Boss Laguna Seca is available in orange, black/red, and blue/white. However, it has never and will never be available in Grabber Blue. This special One-off Mustang will be auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson this month, and the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to help with their research in fighting diabetes. 
"Since this Boss Mustang will have a very low production number and be specially built for our 40th anniversary event, the new owner will have a special piece of performance history for their collection." - Steve Davis, President of Barrett-Jackson
The color may be special, but this car is still a Boss. Its new 5.0-liter V8 engine produces 440 horsepower and is connected to a 6-speed Recaro Manual Transmission. 0 to 60 is done in 4.4 seconds and it will reach a top speed of over 170 MPH. Its currently one of the fastest cars to go round the Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway thrashing the time set by the BMW M3. So, if you're a Mustang fan that has a lot of money and wants his own piece of history, head on down to Barrett-Jackson to place your bet on this awesome blue Boss.

King Camaro

2011 Chevy Camaro SS
What you thought was just an observation has finally become a reality: the all-new Camaro has become top Pony Car outselling the new 2011 Mustang. When the Camaro was first produced in the 1960's, it only made half as much of the sales the Mustang was making. The Mustang made about half a million sales in its first four years. The Camaro couldn't even reach that. The Mustang went on to star in movies like Bullet, Starsky & Hutch, Milk, and the re-boot of Knight Rider. The Camaro got one role in Love Joy, and I forgot what it was. Now, if you see a Camaro, you might think it looks similar to the one driven by a man by the name of Sam Whitwicky that can turn into a robot and destroy helicopters with its blasters. Transformers really did it for this car. It helped the Camaro achieve worldwide fame. Not to mention it looks much cooler, handles much better, and is one of the cheapest cars you can get on the market. In 2010, Chevy sold 81,371 Camaros in the U.S. alone. Ford only sold 73,716 Mustangs. That's a margin of 7,655. Well done, Chevy!

The Mustang Has Met It's Match...

2010 Chevy Camaro SS
...and you're looking at it. Ever since 1965, the Ford Mustang has been king pony car. Now, in 2010, it seems Ford is getting desperate. Chevy has already released the convertible Camaro and the massive Supercharged Z28 Camaro is coming next year. So, with all these Camaros coming out, it looks like it might just outsell the Mustang, according to Ford that is. They aren't worried though, and they shouldn't be. The BOSS Mustang is making headway this year and the GT will start at a much cheaper price starting this spring. So as for now, it's still a Pony Car Battle!
