Driven: 2013 SRT Viper - Automobile Magazine
It’s not what it was.

Herb Helbig, the engineer who made the first three generations of Viper the most ruthless, intimidating car on the road, was a deviant. He was so hell bent on creating a hairy-chested sports car -- one that scared women and children -- that he considered building the Viper without doors. That the 1992 Viper and subsequent iterations came with two conventional doors bolted to the body didn't dilute Helbig’s twisted philosophy when it came to dynamics, though. His Vipers were evil.

2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 - Editor's Notebook - Automobile Magazine
From the humble V-6 all the way up to the 200-mph Shelby GT500, the modern Mustang lineup delivers a rare blend of performance, fun, and affordability.

Something caught my eye last year while rifling through historic Mustang Boss 302 photographs. It was a striking gold-on-black 1969 Boss 302 Trans-Am car, and it was parked in the driveway of a building marked Kar Kraft. Talk about history -- Kar Kraft essentially served as Ford's performance and race engineering skunkworks for the better portion of the 1960s, and helped develop both the road-going and racing Boss 302s back in the day. I thought it would be fun to hunt that facility down if I ever had a chance to drive a modern Boss, and I finally got a chance when keys to this striking school bus yellow 302 were tossed upon my desk.
