Welcome and congrats on the new ride, Bryan!

Hopefully, one of the other MP owners will chime in...I think it stands for 'Mass Production' but that might not be right.

Post some pictures when you have a chance.

Hi Brian:

Congrats on the purchase of your 2012 RR Boss 302, and welcome to the TMO Forum. Here is an interesting article on the intro of 2012 Boss 302 Mustangs from Car and Driver.

I ordered my KB 2012 Boss 302 in October 2011. It was my first Mustang too and after 5 plus years of ownership, she still brings ear to ear smiles every time I twist the key.

Your going to have a blast owning and driving your Boss 302.

I'm a lil confused here. I've heard MP is manufactures prototype as well. But, my question is how could there be a Mass Production Boss built in Dec 2012? Granted I know they came out in 2011, but I'm just questioning about the MP question

Yes several 2012 Boss 302's were built in 2010. The Press Intro needed preproduction Boss 302 units at LS for testing in the summer of 2010.

As the Mustang Team entered 2009, they were tasked with the development of a Gen2 Boss 302, so the Boss program was in the works for some time prior to its intro in early 2011.

The Boss U-Code engine first full race season was in 2010 with Ford Racing feedback for improving 2012 production engines.

In 2011 the Boss 302 Race Program saw Paul Brown, (RIP) bring home the triple Championship crowns for Driver, Builder and Manufacturer. A season were Paul matched Parnelli Jones 1970 Championship winning season.

In February 25, 2011 Motor Trend printed its 2012 Boss 302 First Drive impressions. It was a Black/Red 2012 LS. Might be an MP unit?

There is a lot of history with our Boss 302 Mustangs, and back in the day, it shook the Automotive world.

The Book we received from Ford has Boss 302 history and development news up to about mid year 2011.

Good stuff,
302 Hi Pro
