Question When does the 2012 MY end and 2013 MY start for the GT500?

I'm considering ordering a 2012 but the dealer is telling me it'll take 90 days. By then I would think we'll have more solid info on the 2013 GT500.

More than likely you will start getting information around September-October, of course if the 2013 MY turns out to be a major redesign, it could delay announcements.

I'd definately hold out for a '13. If you don't like what you see nearer the time, you might be able to pick up a good deal on a '12 by then

I just hope that there is some truth in that C&D article for me to wait. A TVS alone would be worth it but they need to address the traction problem if they're going to bump power.

I don't know whether or not the 5.8, TVS, traction issues addressed etc will materialize. Nothing has been revealed imo. I really don't want to wait, but I'm compelled to as we're in the middle of the year and if I were to order one now I wouldn't get it till September. Right around the time this new 2013 will be revealed I think. If it's the same I'd order it at that time.

Tundra is a nice truck, but yeah it's gotta be killing you not to be in something sporty!

Good news is September will be here soon enough

I do hope you're joking. They may get away with the monstrosity on a drag car, if its functional, but on a road car people will just point and laugh!

Order the car bud. Just don't order from a a dealer that makes you place a deposit. You're under no obligation to buy the car when it arrives. Just don't order a completely off the wall combination that the dealer will be stuck with...
