Youtuber Test Drives Mustang Boss 302, Where Does It Stack Up In Your Books?

The Mustang will be turning 60 years old soon, and over the years it has gone through various shapes and sizes, and most recently the name has even been attached to an electric vehicle. Before all gasoline engines get banned on a global scale, let's just be happy about the multiple reincarnations we've had access to so far.

The car reviewed here by ThatDudeInBlue is a fifth-generation 'Stang, and one of the later version at that. During a lifespan of 10 years for this model, multiple iterations were made available to the public, including a Bullit version, a Shelby GT500 and of course the Boss 302.

These days a Boss 302 will set you back around $30,000, or even more if you're looking for a vehicle that was well taken care of. Although the Boss 302 wasn't quite as powerful as the Shelby GT500 of the day, it was still more impressive than all of the normal Mustangs, as it was inspired by the 302R race car. The reviewer even refers to this car as "the grand-dad of the GT350R." 

The owner of the car, CJ, used to previously own a Mustang, but then switched to a C7 Corvette with a blower on it. After driving that car for a while, it seems like he didn't really get the same connection like he had with the Mustang, so reverting to the S-197 chassis meant he would choose the best one available right up front.

The general opinion on the Boss 302 is also reflected here, as the reviewer notes that "the Boss302 is considered the best handling, live-axle Mustang ever made." Also, it seems that the exhaust system has been upgraded to an AWE one, and that's quite easy to tell by the deafening sound inside the cabin, especially during downshifts.
