This is my amazing 2012 Boss 302 Laguna Seca (#649 of 750).
About the Laguna Seca model, it is a factory option that is the track-oriented version of the Boss 302. On top of
the standard Boss it included the paint and decal scheme, the rear seat delete kit with crossbrace, different
adjustable damper settings, different springs, staggered and different style wheels, different tires, a different
rear spoiler, lower production numbers and probably some other things I can't recall. It also included a different
front splitter, transmission air scoop, and a brake cooling duct kit, but they are not factory installed on the
car, they come in a box. The car comes with a silver key and a red key (the TracKey.) This is so you can use the
regular engine tune or the TracKey tune, depending on which key you use. The TracKey programming (Which is
purchased aftermarket and installed by a Ford dealer) includes several differences, most notably the removal of the
skip-shift "feature" that annoyingly forces you to shift from 1st to 4th under certain acceleration conditions, and
improved throttle response. I mention the throttle response because for me, it is the most noticeable difference
between the keys. The regular key responds fine to throttle increase, but has a tendency to hang at RPM when you
reduce throttle. The red key responds instantly in both directions and adds a lot of character to the naturally
aspirated awesomeness of the car. The red key also has RPM adjustable launch control, pit lane speed control, and a
more aggressive idle. When you shift gears with the silver key, it sounds like it's ripping open a black hole,
while the red key usually includes some wonderful popping sounds.
Those are general Laguna Seca highlights, let's talk about this car:
I am the original owner and am very sad to let it go. However, my loss is your gain!
I bought the car in Delaware in December 2011. The miles are mostly highway, as the car has been all over the US.
It's been garaged for most of its existence, just not the last 6 months. My expectation after buying it was to keep
it forever.

Ford going bonkers at SEMA with 57 showcars
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Ford always shows up in force at the SEMA Show, but this year's tally of 57 custom-tuned cars, trucks and vans is more than we can ever recall the Blue Oval bringing. Ford will introduce 28 of its project vehicles in its "Dreamcase" ahead of next month's show. The first batch of eight you'll find here with the remaining vehicles trickling into public view over the next couple of weeks.
This first group of cars includes a Fiesta, four Fiesta ST hatchbacks and a trio of Mustang show cars styled and tuned to varying degrees all by different aftermarket companies. Tanner Foust, Nitto Tire, 3dCarbon and Ice Nine Group are some of the more familiar names affixed to these cars. Our favorite so far is the Hollywood Hot Rods Mustang convertible (shown above) with its removable aluminum top and methanol-injected, 750-horsepower 5.0-liter V8.
Scroll down for all the details on these Fiestas and Mustangs, and stay tuned for more info on Ford's SEMA line, which will include custom versions of the Focus ST, Fusion, Transit Connect, F-150 and Super Duty.
Ford talking unibody Ranger replacement
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Now here's some welcome news. Car and Driver reports Ford is seriously mulling a replacement for the recently deceased Ranger, but the successor to the compact pickup's throne may not look anything like what we've seen from the nameplate in the past.
While speaking at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Doug Scott, marketing manager for Ford Trucks, said there's still a market for a smaller pickup, but that buyers expect to see a larger differentiation between the smaller utility vehicles and their full size counterparts in price, capability and fuel economy.
According to Scott, that means a vehicle with a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds paired with a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and "a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption." But the biggest piece of that recipe is the price tag, and Scott says to keep the MSRP far enough away from the already cheap F-150, the answer could come in the form of a unibody design. Scott says target customers in this market don't care whether the truck has a traditional frame or not, so long as it's tough enough to do the job and has the capability they need.
Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
