Hot Wheels 2012 Mustang Boss® 302 Laguna Seca Package

Today I opened a  Hot Wheels 2012 Mustang Boss® 302 Laguna Seca Package.  Finally got mine at the Kday event.  Mattel's goofy colored wheels make sense now.  



Kind of interesting that the Hot Wheels has side view mirrors usually found on Matchbox.  Sweeter if they were red like the 1:1.  Also missing is the red grille accent.  Still looks great for a dollar toy.  And the chassis even resembles that of the real car.  Black plastic front air splitter is there, too.*

*Front air splitter included in Laguna Seca Package is intended for race track use only and is not legal for on-street driving. May degrade crash performance and void vehicle warranty. Must be installed by customer.

I'd like to see a Hot Wheels 2012 Mustang Boss 302

Mattel could be accused of milking the Mustang name by producing nearly every year and variation that Ford produced (GT, King Cobra, GT500, etc., etc.).  However, this one caught me eye because it already looks like a Hot Wheels.  And there are even two color variations to start with.

For a great book about the original Boss Mustangs check out Boss and Cobra Jet Mustangs: 302, 351, 428 and 429 (Muscle Car Color History).
