The Boss is Back
Hello blogophiles; Reb here. The 440 horse 2012 Boss 302 has ascended to the top of the internet buzz today. From Mercedes Benz and Corvette forums, as well as the expected Mustang and Camaro outlets, videos of the Boss ripping up the quarter mile have raised some eyebrows and ruffled tail feathers.
'Vettes beware, the Boss is nipping at your heels with bottom 12 second time slips on bone stock tires. Swapping out the street tires for big stickies has netted high 11 second elapsed times.
Details as of now are sparse, but with a little more time they will come. It can't be confirmed whether or not any modifications have been done, but it is assumed the exhaust bypass caps have been opened due to the insane exhaust note. Judging by the window sticker still pasted on the window, this Boss is fresh off the showroom floor.
Personally, I'm willing to wager this car is bone stock and judging by the 416rwhp dyno Edmunds posted recently, this assumption is completely within the realm of possibility. With a sufficient 60ft, that is more than enough power to run the times.
12.36 at 116mph on stock tires
11.72 at 117 on stickies
