If there could be one thing cooler than owning a Boss 302 formerly raced by George Follmer, it would be owning and racing that Follmer-driven Boss 302. Brian Ferron is a man who does the latter, thrashing on the tunnel port 302-powered Mustang at vintage Trans-Am events like the Monterey Historics held at Laguna Seca Raceway.
The video below is ten minutes of pure bliss and it is filled with some pretty decent road racing action. It’s also filled with ten minutes of beautiful sound coming from that little baddie of a small-block powering the car.
It sounds very weird to say, but it really is amazing how much steering Ferron has to do to muscle the car around the track. Pay close attention during the famous “corkscrew” where the steering wheel is making several turns in both directions in a very short amount of time. In modern cars, this turn is a couple flicks of the wrist, but in the vintage Mustang, it looks like Ferron is muscling a Freightliner through there!
Let’s go Camaro huntin’
……did he really get pushed to the outside of that turn by a little BMW 2002?…..shame,shame
Which is it? A tunnel port is not a Boss 302.
