Mulanzo Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hmmm.....Vert doesn't have the race recaros? And this model has the new splitter. Looks like the splitter can be added and removed when needed. Kind of a relief since my current splitter taps the ground on dips as it is. The bulky new one doesn't stand a chance. I really like that blue. It's very mature looking. One last thing..I'm not a fan of the standard rims now. I loved the 2010-2012 standards as much as the SVT rims..now... they lack something. I'll definitely been snatching up the mesh looking SVT rims on my 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisSD Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 New grill is clearly a performance item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richstang Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm loving that new Blue paint. I like the improved tailights, new rims, painted lower side fairing (vs black molded). My only quirk on it is the wide open grille with the snake squeezed on the right side (at the very least it should be on the left old school style) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike.s Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 very cool..i agree the grill snake should be deleted, looks like an afterthought.i do like the wheels but looking at this one it is clear to me that black stripes or stripe delete are a must otherwise the rear is entirely too busy looking.white/black stripes is gonna be sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT NAJA Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 In my opinion, the rear of the 2013 Shelby is way too busy and a design fail (other than the cool quad exhaust) as compared to the 2010 - 2012's. As others have suggested, a stripe delete unit will compensate for some of this. The rest of the package is awesome, but I can already see aftermarket front grill treatments to protect the coolers/radiators from damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBRA32 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I love the front it looks more aggressive and backend is just perfect. The lights in the rear look wild. Cannot wait to get mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneTrickPony Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I sure like the wheel style choice on the vert a lot better than the ones one the coupe. Maybe they will look better in person, they seem to busy for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveh70 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Agreed on the busy rear treatment. Too much going on there. Also surprised there's no grill to protect flying objects from damaging the radiator. I understand the thinking on 155mph speedo limit for the 'vert, because most performance buyers opt for the hardtop. Here's a shot I took of the car at the chicago auto show.
