Wow! It's going to be hard to wait for the '15. Those tail lights alone are enough to make me want to spend my money.

Boss front end > GT front end. I'm sure you'll be able to change them but just my thoughts. Rear end looks great. Thoughts on the Track Package? Should be a pretty useful option.

I actually like the look of the GT500. Very sharp looking. Also, 650/600?!?!?!?!

The ZL1 stands no chance.

I like taillights and frontend on the V6 Mustang and the 1970 Boss stripes on the new 2013 Boss

I'm impressed with the packages and combos now offered. Good Job Ford. The technology offered in it's class is far superior. Curious on price point.

Still don't like the licensee plate cladding. But I'd live with it.

That rear end is spectacular!

I'm sure the price will be enough to choke a horse though.

isnt it amazing such a seemingly minor change could make such a huge difference... still amazes me the aftermarket didnt straighten out that bumper/light line in mid 2010 and offer something along these lines...heck there must be a couple dozen bumpers/lenses out there for 05s and folks werent even *****ing about those.

well, bet that Cervinis conversion is dead now for sure- did they ever actually make that kit?

Anyone notice how they showed the performance specs on the GT. 0-60 4.7 and 12.6 @ 117. They left all that in the Track App pictures... clever.

I really dig the Boss/GT500 rear bumper and taillights. I just wish the taillight lenses were red not clear when they are off. The front of the GT looks a little weird to me, I prefer the 2012 front end. The fog lights seem out of place in the smaller upper grill opening and I don't like how the tops of the fog light rings aren't closed off.

Taillights - clap, clap
GT Track Pack option - clap, clap
Boss 302 reflective stripes - clap, clap
5.8L 650hp engine - clap, clap
5.0L 420hp engine - clap, clap
MFT/track apps integration - clap, clap
removable unused foglight covers on Boss 302 - clap, clap
side view mirrors that project pony logo - clap, clap

My hands are sore from clapping.

Nothing here makes me regret my 2012 GT purchase. Now I can sleep well tonight.

Thing might as well be 900hp. No mention of tires?

Edit: i just caught there's HID fogs on the GT.

Rims look good too IMO.

taper the bumper
taper the taiilight profile
add 4 backups where theyd never been before
put a jag in the bottom lens profile

all at one 'suprise' moment, really was just too much at one time...too many changes= not instantly recognizable as 'mustanglike', and i think that was what soured the initial opinions on the '10

but this time its new, bold, different, everything they were shooting for, and I highly doubt anyones gonna call it ugly... I think it might possibly be a new favorite for the bulk of mustang owners...I'll have to see it in person to say its 'my favorite', but it could very wel be...

tell you one thing- I am NOT calling the dealer to order last years model after seeing it like after the '10 reveal
