Ford's 2012 Mustang Boss 302S is meant to be a track-day warrior, slotting in between the street-legal Boss 302 Laguna Seca and the race-dedicated Boss 302R. There will be only 50 units of the race-only 302S produced. Ford has released a video showing the car hitting a top speed of over 150 miles per hour and pulling 1.5 Gs at times at Florida's Homestead-Miami Speedway. And without further ado, that video is below. As a bonus, we've also included video of our own Boss first drive. A link to that post is here. [Jalopnik]
