Like Crap! To put it short and sweet and blunt. Lol

 

I live in Michigan and I was thinking about buying this car as a daily driver and wanted some input on how it perform in the winter time..

 

Looks good. The rear is *much* improved; however, the GT finally has the worst looking front end. :S I'm not a big fan of quad tips, but the tips on the GT look a little too small for the openings...maybe it's just the pics though.

Cuz the diaper on the 10-12 looked like ****. It's hard to please everyone. But overall, this is a big improvement.

Nothing to do with anything...

Welcome. Just start your own thread...

 

-i don't like the GT500 non grill...looks unfinished

-i like the new tail light on the GT but seeing with the white 2012 im now torn if the 2013 backend doesn't look worse...

im gonna take a killing for this comment (but here goes) dare i say with all the plastic (front and rear) and hood grill vent ect it's looking kinda ricey.

 

I think the "non grill" in the GT500 will take a bit of getting used to, but it kinda reminds me of the Shelby Cobras with their open mouths.

As for the tail lights......I think if they were lit, they'd look a whole lot better than the '12s....but in those dark photos, I know what you mean.

As for ricey?

 

That car couldn't be further from ricey if it wanted to be.

 

Present company included.

 

I own one and I was one of the people bagging on the diaper. But they stopped making the 2005-09 so I had no option.

 

The GT500 looks awesome. Looks like anyone wanting a rear rotor upgrade on a Brembo GT could swap over the GT500 brakes based on those pictures.

 

Agreed. The GT500 and especially its Deep Impact Blue paint with matte black stripes looks absolutely badass, in my opinion. I really like the tail lights and GT500 rear end, too.

The new V6 / GT front end is growing on me, but I'm not a fan of the painted rockers. I like the GT/CS / Boss rear end, but I'm not particularly fond of the "regular" V6 / GT rear fascia. I will admit these cars look much better in person, albeit a lot bigger in stature than the outgoing 2010-12 model due to all the extra paint.

 

I think a simple mod would be to swap the painted rockers for the '10-12 ones. They should be inexpensive compared to their painted counterparts.

In fact, looking them on fordparts.com, they are $102.47 each.

 

Thats not too bad of a price. If i got another sixxer or gt that would be one of my first changes. But really just seein the 13 models i cant wait to see what comin for 15. In fact i bet money that they have ecoboost motors in the works. 4 & 6 cylinder ecoboost, the 5.0 motor, and then SVT takes its rightful dominant spot with the gt500. No more shelby badges all over everything

 

I really don't like the GT's GT500-style fascia. Otherwise, looks pretty good. I think the rear, while still not perfect, is much improved.

 

Yeah, but then you'd have to paint a significant portion of the lower rear fascia which may or may not look good.

 

 

 

I'm not crazy with the grill less look. It just looks unfinished!

 

The rear has way too much going on... IMHO

 

I love the open grill. I think it looks aggressive, raw, powerful.

 

A fews years back i drove across north dakota in summer..bugs bugs and more bugs...that front end without a grill would have taken a beating!
