They said the same thing about the 2 year only run of the GT500 back in 2007.

And thats the reason they took the cool hood design off of the vanity mirrors cover and the Mustang tailend off of the traction control button...Two design elements I very much liked on the '10/'11...

Ha! That thought had crossed my mind. It'd be nice to think they'd make a new vanity mirror/TC button for the '13/'14, but I suspect not

It would be interesting if Ford decided to keep the Boss to establish its own "M-series" of vehicles, thereby refining the parts on the boss for track use and passing down some elements to the GT as new Boss parts were implemented. If the Mustang is going global this could be a very lucrative deal for Ford as if you look at sales, europeans, the germans especially, just buy Ford's like candy so i bet the Boss would sell like crazy over there.

Although the problem would be then the Boss would lose its value as a limited edition car.

That's clearly a 2013 GT500 mule. Look at the wheels. I see nothing indicating that it's a GT.

Umm, No. You put that front end on a Shelby and you've got serious cooling issues.

The GT500 never came with fogs in the upper grill but the GT's do. I believe that this is what the 2013 GT will look like......or close to it and I'm pissed because I love the GT500-ish look. Guess I'll be stuck with my lame 2011 5.0 >

It's just history repeating itself... Remember when the 1969-70 Shelby front end became the full line look for the Mustang in 1971?

1971 Mustang

They'd have to be, or they'd look out of place.

Maybe Ford will inverse the tailights...instead of the reverse lights being concave the 3 main (red) lights will be and the reverse lights will be flush

it seems with these changes, even with that front end spy shot, we cant really get a good idea of what the total package will look like uncovered. Dare i say that this might be one styling job that needs to be seen in person to really "get it".

I am guessing we wont see the new headlights until actual reveal...

Current Shelby does not have that much more cooling openings...

You're right, especially those foglights in the grille which GT's have never had and Shelby's have always had. Oh..oh wait a seconddddd my bad...

Some are still convinced it's a Shelby apparently.
