When Porsche put its Panamera on the 94th floor of the Shanghai World Financial Center, we thought it was pretty clever. Turns out Ford did the same with the Mustang, some 44 years earlier.
Unlike the Panamera lift which took place in a freight elevator with a complete automobile, Ford took apart their Mustang and shipped it in pieces, via a people elevator, to the observation deck of the Empire State Building, then reassembled it.
This Boss 302 has seen some better days.
In it’s glory days this desirable Boss 302 was Bright Yellow and sported a black interior, shaker hood scoop and 3.91 rear gears. Then mother nature got to her and now just check out that rust!
This is a mini documentary about the worlds fastest Mustang produced for HOTROD magazine.
The Boss Mustang is easily one of the most popular Ford Mustangs that have ever rolled off the assembly line. You see it with the constant rumors that Ford is going to bring it back only to have them crushed by high gas prices and a slumping economy. That doesn’t stop people from taking matters into their own hands though and resurrecting the Boss Mustang via aftermarket means. This is what John Kaase has done with his 2008 Mustang. With over 800 ft-lbs of torque and over 900 horsepower, there is no denying that this Mustang means business.
Video Games with the Ford GT

* Forza Motorsport features the Ford GT as one of the cars purchasable in game and also the Ford GT-40 MK II.
* Need for Speed: Most Wanted features two versions of the Ford GT, both as a stock car and the Castrol version.
Nitrous oxide carries more oxygen to the engine, allowing for faster burning of the fuel and generating more power. At high temperatures, such as those found inside a firing cylinder, nitrous oxide breaks down into nitrogen and oxygen gas. This raises the partial pressure of oxygen in the gas mix above the level found in normal atmospheric air, and lets the fuel burn more efficiently.
