Ford Mustang Boss 302
Ever since the first retro Mustangs appeared in showrooms across America, Ford fans asked for the return of the Boss 302. For those who don’t know, the Boss 302 was first introduced in 1969 as a racing car homologation special intended for Trans-Am races. And 43 years later, Ford revived the Boss 302 with the new 5.0-liter Coyote V8, delivering 444 hp and 380 lb.-ft of torque. Again, this was almost a pure racing car with no backseat, a factory-installed roll cage, and a host of other external and internal modifications (via Car and Driver).
As you may expect, the performance was better than the regular Mustang GT, and the 2012 Boss 302 could accelerate to 60 mph in 3.97 seconds and top 155 mph. Until we see the future version of the Boss 302, the 2012 model is widely considered one of the best modern muscle cars and deserves a place on this list.
