NEW 2013 GT 5.0
Just wanted to introduce myself. Traded a 2012 Corvette Grand Sport in for a new 2013 Black GT 5.0. Love those wheels with the black car. Some people may say I am crazy for doing that. I also worked and retired from G.M. I am 64 and would like to here from older members as well as younger ones. I believe the GT is just as fast if not faster then the Vette in a 1/4 mile. Also maintanance and mods are much cheaper L0L. Here are some pics. Also 5% Tint on upper windshield,back and rear side glass and 18% on driver and passanger glass.

Welcome to the dark side! The black looks good with the coffin wheels!

Love the sound,
Comfort,
Much smoother ride.
Ease of entering and exiting,
Styling
Do not like speedometer ( # too small ) needs HUD (heads up display ) or digital read out in center display option.
Dislike the cup holders ( large drink interferes with the 6spd )
Do not like center console storage ( have to dig for something on bottom )
also center console storeage botton is sometimes opened from elbow resting on console.
overall- love it

Leave it spoiler less. The spoiler delete is a rare option and the 2010+ have a nice lip already molded into the trunklid. If you must, I'd say RTR or OEM backup camera spoiler.

One thing I noticed in driving a Corvette vs a Mustang is visibility. Last vette I drove was a new 2008 on vacation and I really couldn't see, being so low, all the cops laying in wait to catch speeders. Visiblilty in the Mustang, sitting higher and more upright, is greatly enhanced which is important if you want to avoid tickets. This is a huge difference to me. Also like the spoiler delete, much cleaner look, but I don't know how rare it is. I'd be interested to know the percentage without spoilers.
