Ford Racing Boss 302R – click above for hi-res image gallery<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

\nIn addition to the new 5.0 2011 Mustang GT<\/a>, Ford’s also selling a new Boss 302R race car. If you haven’t been paying attention, Ford’s previous generation FR500C racer has been racking up victory after victory. Besides winning a race two days after the first FR500C was sold (you buy ‘em at a Ford parts counter), the FR500C then went on to win three Triple Crown championships in Koni competition as well as back-to-back driver’s championships in FIA GT4 (featuring Corvettes, Caymans, Aston Martin V8s, etc). And the Boss 302R is better. Or potentially better…<\/p>\n

Featuring a racing version of the new 5.0 32-valve Ti-VCT V8, a six-speed manual transmission, roll cage, race seats, five-point belts, data-acquisition equipment, racing shocks and springs as well as Brembo brakes and special tires. How much? $79,000. There’s also a $129,000 Boss M-FR302R1 that’s eligible to race in the Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge series (formerly known as the Koni Challenge). It comes complete with a sealed, high-output motor, better cooling, close-ratio transmission, a seam-welded body, Koni dampers, upgraded ABS system, tuned exhaust and a special one-piece drive shaft. <\/p>\n

Ford’s only building fifty Boss 302Rs next year and they should be available in the third quarter. Anyone else feel like hitting the track? Full press release, after the jump<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
