The narrow stripes were previously only for the Performance Pack, but the stripes went wide again (for both standard and PP) for '13. For '14, they change again, as the stripes will be gloss (matte for '13).....but still wide.

 

 

So Gary... enough seat time in that piano key lookin machine yet for a butt dyno comparo to Seven? Ivory vs ebony, 650 to 475+, hook up, roar & whine, etc.?

 

Moar pictars are required! And a video or twelve! So jealous.

 

Well it stacks up like this

2007 GT 4.6L 3v with Saleen SC running approximately 11lbs of boost. Long tube headers off road h pipe and 4.10 rear gears with stock clutch. Dyno 479 RWHP. Estimated 550 hp at the crank. 295 rear tires with 300 tread wear rating.
Wheels smoke with ease. Very strong out of first. Pulls in every gear like a freight train. Car is loud with both whine and screaming exhaust.

2013 GT500 5.8L 4v with TVS SC running 14lbs of boost. Stock exhaust with 3.31 rear gears. Never dynoed but other stock cars dyno about 585 RWHP. Actual 662 hp at the crank. 285 rear tires with 200 tread wear rating.
No idea yet. Have yet to even begin to push it. Rained today so I didn't get any more seat time.

 

OHHHHH, look at me and my big fancy cars.

 

Be a fun comparo.

 

I'll just go ahead and tell you Gary, those tires suck when its gets the least bit cool outside.

And what is really weird is that they pick up every little pebble, but worse when its cold. It can be 100 degrees out and them sticky as hell and you don't hear them get much of anything, but when they get cold (especially below 50) they pick up EVERYTHING. Just a constant ting, tang, ding, clink, etc. coming from the fender wells. You'd think it would be worse when they're hot and soft.

 

220mph speedo.

 

I'm sure you saw that I have driven a 750hp Super snake and if that car is anything like that it will be insane. You so much as sneeze on the throttle the tires go up in smoke. I'm guessing the '13 is easier to drive with the tall gearing and having a 90hp deficiency. Best bet is to roll into the throttle rather than punching it in anything less than 4th gear.

Have a member of your army film the car. I wanna see this thing in action!

 

Its a basketball team with a subsitute

 

I like this analogy. With Gary as Phil Jackson

 

He is the Zen master of Mustangdom

 

Meh

I tend to obsess with my hobbies. First it was golf. Then it was wood working. Then it was home theater and stereos. Then it was golf again. And now Mustangs.

 

Let me know when its Golf again and you are throwing away all those old mustangs.

 

 

I'm the same way.

 

Sheesh. Add duck hunting, scuba diving, rock climbing and snowboarding and you would be the younger version of me. You still have 18 years though. And I dont think I'll ever have that many Musangs and certainly not kids.

 

That is very cool! Beautiful car.

Who was the cute guy in the 1st pic??

 

I'm the second pic was Luis the car transport driver that unloaded it. He's from Houston. I could probably get his number for you. He did say he liked to plays Xbox though.
