I can already picture the casket. White with blue stripes, maybe a Cobra badge or two.

Great looking ****! I didn't much like the look of the 2010/2011 mustang rear end initially. After a while I have grown to think it's one of the best aspects. This new rear however is t*ts up!

I'll be at the LA auto show this weekend. I can't wait to see all of the little toys.

Im chomping at the bit to see pictures of the gt/cs edition. I'm really curious of the fogs and the wheels.. Hopefully there will be one at the show this weekend.

Ok, been looking at a lot of different pics. The rear end is a major improvement. The front looks like big nose Kate to me. Im not digging it and the fogs look out of place in the grill now to me and I always loved them. I still like the 05-09 style.

Lots of new nice features on the 13 for sure. CAn you believe Ford put in a feature for oil temp, real head temp, air/fuel ect?????????? Its about time. I have been screaming for this for years! Very nice and thanks Ford.

It was just a JOKE regarding the fogs apparent lack of popularity. I'll leave it at that and won't address your ignorant comment.

I don't have a problem with the fogs in the grill but I don't like the blank panel on the bottom where the V6 has fogs. THAT seems unfinished to me. Needs something there, fogs or a brake duct. Something.

I think they have done an oustanding job with the refresh, wasn't expecting such changes at all. I had my mind set on getting a 2015, but now i'm more confused than ever between having to wait or maybe get a GT500. I need to get back on my meds.

They're a little different than the current PP wheels.

This might seem like a stretch but As one observant fellow said earlier in this thread, if you look at the track apps screen in one of the reveal photos it says 1/4: 12.6 seconds. If this is true of the new 5.0 then there would have to more than 8hp added to the 13.
With the 11/12 under-rated it's a 'free' upgrade to change the rating. As to the numbers on the display I wouldn't go by those. If ford is like companies I've worked for the numbers are something entered by marketing (often based on old or misunderstood info from engineering) or what is left over in some prototype that is likely not representative of actual production. Now maybe they have some basis in reality maybe they don't. But what they almost certainly aren't is accurate. Especially as 'all time best'. Who knows if the motor set up and tune for that ended up breaking? I wouldn't put much faith in them as 'typical results'.

Then again, it's not far off motor trend's '11 GT test

650 angry horses... ****!!! The rear of the GT-500 is sinister! Overall, I like what they have done with the refresh. The rear-end looks very nice, but I had no real complaints about the present's rear fascia. The front nose isn't bad, but I think I prefer the '10-'12 just a slight bit more. I'm ecstatic about the Track Apps/gauge cluster! Ford, you are on a roll! Keep it coming.

One of the articles I read said, larger front and rear rotors, brembo 6 piston front, 4 piston rears.

I read the 6 pot fronts but it said larger rear rotors, which in Ford speak is just a larger rotor and not more calipers. Wish they had more pics.

And I think I saw they were special carbon pads on the rear.


(Like Bullitt has on the front)

Love the A$$ and the shark nose, but sorry I dont like the new tail lights. I'm not a fan of the LED's in general but i hate the look of them. The cervinis style ones actually looks cool if Ford would have used those I think it would have looked better.

And the 500 well all I got to say about that is.......HOLY ****. With those numbers and the fact that its a 3800 pound car I would love to see them take it to the Ring and go after Blue Devils track time.
