Even though the weather was not cooperating, this 2013 Mustang did not want to be pent up in a stable.
Earlier this week, I was in Oregon to drive some new 2013 Fords, including the Mustang GT. On the way to our meeting point, I spotted this little barn and decided it would be a prime place to take a few pictures.
Look for our full review of the 2013 Mustang to go up at 12:01 AM Monday morning. But for now, enjoy this shot of Ford’s performance icon at rest.

Hmm I wish they would have kept the stripes darker/solid black like the original photos Ford put out... ah well, still can't wait to get it!

The stripes on the GT/CS come in silver or ebony. The stripes in that photo look more silver to my eyes (fading front to back from a darker silver to a lighter silver).

Thanks for that information. Makes sense since a silver stripe that fades front-to-back on a white car isn't going to be very visible. LOL. I'm hoping the stripe will look darker in person. Thanks again.

Car and Driver:
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...t-drive-review

As noted, Ford has found eight more ponies in the 5.0-liter V-8, achieved by applying Boss 302 piston coatings and discontinuing the oil squirts formerly cooling the undersides of the pistons, a function the engineers now believe to be unnecessary based on experience with the 5.0.
Motor Trend:
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...g_first_drive/

Let's start with those eight extra horses, which nobody was clamoring for, but are welcome just the same. They were found in Boss 302-inspired calibration changes like making the spark retard a bit less conservative and deleting the oil-squirters that cooled the pistons but were deemed superfluous and a source of windage losses.

They say that select shift auto sucks. I hope the aftermarket tuners can fix this.

"A few things need work. New, rectangular LEDs ensconce the taillights, casting a cool glow when they're on. When off, it's anything but: The lowered center portions look like festering sores. Cabin inconsistencies still mar the inside, where Ford dresses the dashboard with premium materials but gives the doors the short shrift. And a telescoping steering wheel, widely offered in the competition, is still MIA."

This video (sometime when he takes the car out) implies that the new electronics package still uses Ford Sync's older platform and not the new MyFord Touch Interface?? (This counters what was implied in the stock photos showing MFT)

Are all the shaker systems new/redone for 2013? They seem to be getting huge praise.

Hopefully we'll get some reviews of the system soon from owners. Sounds like marketing hype to me.
