2013 new butt?

enough of the arguing . . . . . they all go fast :shift: which is the important part . . . . . . back to topic

 

below is the most "beans spilled" I could find from someone who attended the dealer preview show early last month; although a GT500 was not shown it probably gives an indication of what to expect.

 

I saw a 2013 mustang including a boss, but not a gt500 . . . . . . yes, the rear lost a lot of plastic and is blacked out with outlined LED taillights. the fascia is different but the boss they were all facing outwards so i didn’t get a good look at the actual bumper cover, just the taillights when they drove off stage.

Hey TOPCAT501 is that reliable info? I am eagerly waiting for the L.A. show to see the "13" but I heatr the shelby wont be there. So if orders are to open up in DEC. When will we see and know photos and specs. I mean are we supposed to just order blindly? I cant stand the wait because I'm waiting for the '13' , if its not all that so i can pick up a '12' i have a feeling thats what will happen, if the '13' looks are not appealing the 12's wil sel quick.

100% for sure Ford did bring in the dealers in early October to "preview" the new model year vehicles that have changes. The Mustang was one of the vehicles previewed

 

This is the thread of the guy that attended the meeting; he seems legitimate and has been a member of that forum for years so no reason for him to make-up a story IMO.

Also, alot of what he said was repeated by one of our own members FRYDGUY79 here

http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?/topic/70634-2103-shelby-gt500/

 

And in the same thread, Robert Lane confirmed that the GT500 specs would be disclosed at the LA auto show, so you'll know HP/TQ in a couple of weeks

 

However, since you are most interested in finding out about the GT500 exterior changes, please note that the GT500 was not shown at the Ford dealer meeting so the rear end changes mentioned by those attending the show are based on the Boss & GT. So judge for yourself if the changes will carryover to the GT500

 

I don't understand why Ford would choose to not show the GT500 at the show; I can understand not wanting to disclose HP/TQ numbers, but if the exterior changes are a home run why not show it as soon as possible? ? ? I guess it's possible they are not 100% finished with things like the side skirts/rocker panels since the GT500 production normally rolls out later than the regular Mustang model

Ford probably wants to wait until the absolute last minute to release any information on the 2013 Shelby GT500 so they have some maneuvering room when the Camaro ZL1 hits the street first...

Nah - they just want to sell the "must have the latest" types multiple cars. First they show the base GT 5.0, everyone runs out to be the first on the block with one. Then they roll out the Boss, then finally, by the time the GT500 is shown all the Team Shelby cool kids will be buying their third car.:)

Funny the bashing going on here from a simple question. From what I know, the GT500 will not look like the 10-12, nor will it look like the 07-09. So there :hysterical:

 

New front end as well :slapfight:

 

 

 

 

Have you been reading these forums? Most of the bashing are from the insecure 2007-09 owners taking cheap shots at the better looking and performing later car.

 

 

They will find something to bash on the 2013 car too. Just watch.

Other than the tail end of the 10+ cars it is has a decent agressive style. If they can fix the rear up on the 13+ I'm sold.

I've always liked the 07-09 styling. Yes with the strong retro styling it is gettting dated quickly but, it doesn't have much that I do'nt like about it other than the grille vents (I would have prefered the concept hood vents).

I like them both but, to say the new tail lights were not controversial would be like saying the economy is good. Dilusionsal

Here, let me clear things up.

 

Article from autoblog from yesterday

2010-12 Mustang tail light

Tail lights from mustang in spy shots

What I circled is what all the tail lights on the 2013 Mustang should look like across the back of the car. All rectangled like the 05-09 Mustangs except smaller and with LEDs

Either way whether the finished product's tail lights look like those in the spy shots or what I think they should look like, it is still a bit improved over the 10-12 model lights. More straight across and not with a silly sort of break/zig zag in the lines.

 

For more photos on the mustang's spy shots along with its BUTT! Look at the autoblog article.

Man.

 

I think the new tail light owners are the self concious ones.

 

The 10-12 lights were controversial from the start, rest of car looks great.

 

Read a magazine from when they were introduced.

 

Some liked it some don't. Lets argue and put each others cars down though...

 

Face your car sucks, mine rules, lets race, SGT/SC Coupe FTW!!

 

hahahahahah

5's and 1's Phil, 5's and 1's...;@)

 

 

No, I've got that part down pat!

 

I found that in the dark, the bills all look the same. I was dropping 5's and the girls didn't know it until they were collecting their booty (pun intended) and one said to the other, "LOOK, FIVES!"....and neither ever knew who the guy was that dropped 'em!

 

So from now on, it's 1's all the way, BABY! <lol>
