All that power goes through a six-speed manual and a 3.73 Torsen limited-slip diff, just the way enthusiasts like it.2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302Bring a TrailerCompetition Orange paint, reflective stripes, a rear wing, Boss-only front fascia, blacked-out grille, front splitter, and quad exhaust tips – this thing looks the part.
