650/600 is just unreal to me. I never dreamed you could buy a Mustang this powerful right off the showroom floor. Im on the fence with the design changes until I see them in person.

Edit: i just caught there's HID fogs on the GT.
Rims look good too IMO.
The 3.31 final and SVT's traction control should help.

The gt looks like crap. Looks like a 2012 with a cheap ricer body kit

Still want to see the new green color, as well as the pony projection lamps on the side mirrors.

Who needs aftermarket... Just swap the hood, front bumper cover and grille to the 2012 design using the OE parts. The fenders did not change.

I noticed that the triple guage pod from the '12 Boss 302 (atop the dash) is missing in the '13 Boss 302 (likely because of the new productivity screen between the tach & speedometer).

Absolutely love the rear of the GT500 !!! One of the coolest looking rear designs in Mustang history!

Not liking the front of the V6/GT/Boss. I much preferred the headlights on the outside with the orange marker lights set inboard. The GT500-esque front looks awkward and bulky and the new hood is a step in the wrong direction, IMHO.

I'd love to retrofit the '13 GT500 rear end onto my '11 5.0L for a perfect looking Mustang!

Now that is cheesy! I am surprised they did not make the grille pony light up that way so it casts a pony shadow on the garage door like a batman shadow in the sky!

I'm already one step ahead of you regarding a taillamp swap. Keep your eyes open come spring and I'll see what I can do.

Trying to find out more regarding the GT fogs. If they are LED/HID and drop into the 10-12, they'll be on mine.

i'll be dreaming about if those centers are switchback bulbs for backups...bettin they are never thought that chamferred bumper look would fly for me, but for some reason the lenses and less bulge at the bottom seem to smooth it right in. still like the flatter look, but this is nice
The centers definitely switchback from red to white light when the backup's are activated. Sequential turn signals remain as well.

To Pericak and the rest of the team - Hell of a nice job with this one. The perfect way to send the S197 out in a blaze of glory.

Very nice...I agree.

I wonder how one would fill those exhaust cutouts since the GT500 mufflers have those lovely double tips. I suspect sales of those GT500 mufflers might be going up!
