The reviews of the 2012 Mustang Boss 302 are still flowing in since the media drive last month, and Road & Track has finally published their full test of the Laguna Seca model. The magazine raved about the car, calling it the “best-handling production Mustang ever” and that the “undisputed boss of the pony car ranks is the Ford Mustang.”

The numbers are impressive as well. The magazine posted a 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds and knocked out the 1/4 mile in 12.3 seconds @ 117.2 mph. They were also able to record the best lateral acceleration figures yet – 1.02g – and published the first lap times of the Laguna Seca we’ve seen so far – a 1:39.5.

As Roush Authorised dealers we can provide any Roush performance upgrade or Roush vehicle through our sister site, ImportMyVehicle.com.

We were the first UK dealer to bring over a Stage 3 Roush a few years ago and had it quickly snapped up by BBC Top Gear to let the Stig take it round their track which, as expected by us, did exceptionally well with even the normally anti-American-car Clarkson saying that it was a truly brilliant car. Click here for Top Gear video

Well Roush have just announced their latest incarnation of the Stage 3, called the RS3. Power is up again to a huge 540bhp and there are 288 colour combinations to choose from. We like the Jack Roush signature on the back and the new faux fuel filler cap.

We are your best call for importing any Roush vehicle into the UK, our sister site ImportMyVehicle.com can sell you a Roush RS3 for an on the road price including two year UK warranty.

The latest version is tagged as the fastest and most technologically advanced Camaro ever built. As if the standard V8 Camaro is not enough, the ZL1 will feature a supercharger taking power to 550bhp and Chevrolet aiming to improve lap times, not just straight line speed by introducing six piston calipers and Magnetic Ride Control.

We have shipped many Camaro’s and developed the invisible IVA to ensure they stay as standard looking in the UK after the IVA test, but we are very much looking forward to bringing one of the first back to the UK

At ShipMyCar we love the Dodge Charger (we still have one for sale) and so were interested to see the new 2012 images released by Dodge

As if the last SRT8 wasn’t powerful enough, the 2012 has the new 6.4LV8 Hemi with 465bhp, again matched with a five speed semi-auto gearbox…

Top speed is now over 175mph and 0-60 in less than five seconds, the suspension has been improved to feature sport and auto modes that process speed, steering angle, brake pressure, throttle application and lateral acceleration.

The engine also features special fuel saving technology so when you are not giving it full beans the car will switch to running on just four of the cylinders

Shipping a European car to the UK from outside of the EU may mean you can benefit from a reduced level of import duty by declaring it as EC Returned – you would also at the time of writing pay just £190 for 12 months road tax as the vehicle would be classed as Private Light Goods…

The new 650 packs a twin turbo V8 pushing out 400bhp through the rear wheels

Ford has been unusually un-forthcoming about the new 2102 BOSS302S track version of the BOSS 302. It has taken leaks and constant speculation to get them to come out with it. And even now, they are barely lifting the cover.

But this week they have shown some photos and specifications of the upcoming club racer version of the new 2012 BOSS 302 Mustang. Much akin to the Mustang Challenge FR-500S race cars, the BOSS 302R is a non-street legal bare bones racer that is one step below the Grand-Am spec BOSS 302R.

Like the FR-500 series cars, the BOSS 302S will be available “over the counter” from your local Ford Racing Dealer. The BOSS 302 440hp 5.0 liter V8 engine is showroom stock, but downstream of that are some better 3.73 gears and an upgraded Torsen limited slip differential.

The car will be built at the Flat Rock assembly plant along side the other BOSS 302s but will have a lighter body structure lacking sealers, glues, and sound deadening. Additional tweaks are made to allow the installation of FIA racing equipment as well.

A full list of specifications and features is below for the build MSRP is $79,000, which is pretty good for a car that you can take right out and race in the World Challenge GTS and NASA American Iron Series with few mods and additions.Both Mustangs will be produced at Ford’s Mustang factory in Michigan. More details shortly.

Hemi. The mere mention of the word is enough to strike fear into the hearts of lesser powerplants… or at least images of a pair of scrubby-looking bottom-feeders that really love themselves some Ram Trucks. In any case, we’re keenly interested in the latest Hemi engine from the Dodge Boys, in this case displacing a heady 392 (or so) cubic inches and placed gently inside the engine bay of the 2011 Challenger SRT8.

Not only is this new Hemi larger than the already oversized version it replaces, it’s also considerably more potent. The Pentastar says that its new 392 kicks out 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque – substantial improvements over the outgoing SRT8’s 425 hp/420 lb-ft. But those are factory ratings, and we all know those don’t necessarily match what’s actually under the hood of production models.

Thankfully, the crew over at Inside Line managed to score enough time with a 2011 Challenger SRT8 to strap it down to a proper dyno. And the results? How about 452 horses at 6200 RPM and 443 lb-ft at 4400? Yep, that’ll do nicely, and it means that Dodge may actually be underrating its potent performer just a tad. Oh, and for what it’s worth, IL managed to record 370 horses and 343 lb-ft from its 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS on the same exact dyno. Chevy’s answer ought to be coming in the form of a Z28 with over 500 supercharged ponies… Stay tuned, the horsepower wars are clearly still in full swing.
