Cool 2013 GT500 Engine Article in 5.0 Magazine

Is now online!

A great read. This engine will seriously go down in history. I have never driven a street car with this much low end torque, and the pull never stops all the way to 7,000rpm. The acceleration is simply ferocious.

Three things I want from this car for mine; the driveshaft, the windage tray, and the oil pan.

I love Grabber blue (I owna grabber blue 2011 GT) but Deep Impact blue is one of the best looking colors ever put on a Ford product. Its so different then Kona even though in terms of color families they are very close.

Of course this my personal opinion so take it for what it is, an opinion.

What's your personal opinion on the best stripe colors for it? White, silver, or black? Especially with the PP wheels.

If you could share the details, I would be interested to know what changes they made to fit the CF driveshaft to the 2013 car?
