Difference between 2012 and 2013

[67Cobra]

Please forgive my ignorance , any info appreciated. Looking to buy a new toy (late model Shelby). I know there were changes to the body from 2009-2010 , as well as HP upgrade. Seems that could be accomplished with cold air intake. Then there was the electric brake upgrade . HP goes to 650 for 2013. Was this accomplished by a major redesign of engine parts , or can a 2012 with tune and other mods accomplish same change. Would hate to buy a 2011 or 2012 and find out I didnt do enough homework.

Thanks for any input.

 

Sorry , this was meant for GT 500 forum
