I'm waiting for it as well!!! I'd never give up my 2006 but I would add this next to it IF the car is as good as we all hope it will be!!!

Oh, and I'm back!! LOOOOONG STORY and maybe tomorrow I'll post up a thread about my crazy crazy hospital involving story!!!

Nice to hear from ya.

Nice to hear from you Jeff! I've been lurking mostly myself.

I am waiting also, I am an OLD guy...so probably my last hot rod. 65 coupe 4 speed was my first.

Are you not going to get the latest hot rod GT500 with 650 horespower ? Save all that waiting !

While the '13 GT500 is an exceptional car, most people aren't going to be able to afford it, and it's not going to be a high volume car. People waiting for details on the '15 Mustang are waiting on more than just power figures; new platform, styling, etc. Those are big changes. With the '05-current cars putting the Mustang back on the map, the '15 could be a huge evolution for the brand. Makes sense for people to wait. Then, if they aren't impressed or can't wait, they can jump on a '14 to satisfy them.

Forget waiting if you like and can afford a current stang. Buy a current model now that way you can enjoy it. One can always trade it in for a new one. Why buy a 2015? Hold off on the 2013 model and buy the 2020 model. Im sure they will be faster than the 2015. Enjoy what is out there if you like the current model. For me, I bought a 2011 stang. Love it, love the look. My favorite looking generation stang, just my opinion. Why wait if you can afford one and don't have a stang to ride.

2011 Kona Blue

Here is a list to use for deciding if you should wait for the 2015 next generation stang.

Wait, if you can not afford a current model.
Wait, if you don't like the 2010 to 2014 body style.
Wait, if you currently have a stang to enjoy and are happy with the year you have.

Buy now, if you were like me and didn't have a stang to enjoy.
Buy now if you love the look of the current stang as I did.

Why put off years to come when you can do today and enjoy your stang for years until the 2015 is out.If one is waiting because they think the 15 will be better and faster, there will always be faster and better.

I am seriously conflicted on this one. I own a low mile Cobra that is just awesome but worth more than I think it's worth. Do a sell it and buy a GT with the rebates Ford is offering or do I hold off and buy a used 07-11 GT500....or do I keep the Cobra and wait for the 2015 and by then I can possibly afford to keep the Cobra and ad another to the stable?

2011 Kona Blue

Why do you want to sell your current Cobra? What year is it? If you like the 2011 Gt500 and can afford it now and important to you that you have the newer stang ,then I say go for it. Im sure Ford wont be offering any great rebates on the 2015 next generation at first.

If your current stang is running great and low mileage then why not hold onto it. Im not one to get rid of my 2011 just to get the newer style. I know all the hype about the 13 stang has a whopping 650 hp. I would imagine this would be 55 thousand plus.

Way cheaper to buy a 5.0 for like 33,000. Add an after market supercharger give it 200 more hp. Now your up to 600 plus hp. Get a bama tuner, new exhaust system, cold air intake and headers. Now your at 650 hp plus and way way way cheaper than the 13 Cobra.

My Cobra is a 2003, it is still under 20,000 miles on it. I don't wan't a new Mustang just to say its new. I been wanting a newer platform Mustang since my brother picked up his 2010 GT. I love the refinement and fit and finish of the 05-12 Mustangs. Only thing is for me to upgrade I need something of equal or better power so that rules out 05-10 GTs. My modified Cobra is a couple ticks faster than a new 5.0 but the overall refinement of the 5.0 would more than balance out. But if I plan on modding it i'd be better off just getting a GT500 and leave it relatively stock. I've learned from the past that the less modding you do the more reliable and cheaper it is in the long run.

2011 Kona Blue

Makes sense too me. Sounds like you got a sweet *** Cobra. 20,000 on a 03 is like nothing. Don't drive it much do ya, lol. I love to drive my stang. Mine is a 2011 and got like 7,300 miles. I do love the look of the newer stangs from 2010 on up. I think the 12 stang was given 420 hp. For me, my V6 with 305 hp is quick enough to satisfy my need for speed but lots of people need more hp. Of course I did get a bama sct tuner three weeks ago and man it was soooo worth it.

If you can afford and don't mind spending the loot for a new Cobra Gt500 then go for it. I would think a new 2012 5.0 would be able to keep right with your 03 cobra. You could always get a tune for your new 5.0 and gain extra hp for cheap. Just one mod.

Overboost

The 2012 GT is 412hp. The 2013 GT is 420hp.

2011 Kona Blue

My bad. So many figures out there for the upcoming stangs. Lol

Automagically

I agree with this as it is the situation I am in. I have wanted a Mustang since 2010, or 2008 if you want to count the Bullitt. But I just haven't had the funds to justify the fuel mileage or car payment. So I've had Honda's. Bought the Si so I could familiarize myself with the 6 speed on a more regular basis. But it's still going to be a while before I can buy. Trying to save for a house, pay off old debt and what not are just not super easy tasks, even on a good salary. So, I have no other choice but to wait. But I'm smitten with the 2013 and will probably take one as soon as I can but the 2015 may be out by that time. So I make no promises. I don't buy into the whole solid axle debate but the 2015 should be interesting to see as far as fit and finish quality.

Like you mention above, you can always get a 2020 later or even a used 2015 or 16 if you feel so inclined. I could go back and get a 2004 Cobra if I wanted to still. So no need to fret about it. I'm very interested in the 2015 but even after they are out, there will be more and if I have a 2013 by that time, I'll still be happy. Either way seems like a win.

I think I'm going to wait it out for now because I like what I have but I'd love a newer stang. Perhaps in a couple years I keep the Cobra and add a s197 to the garage

MMR

I am waiting for the new one..

I won't be able to afford a new car before 2014-15 anyway..

cbf102770

Waiting for the new model, will be about time to trade up from my 07 when they roll out

xlover

I was going to get a 2013 to tide me over but i just couldnt get into the GT500 front end on the GT and lack of the interior package i wanted so i traded my 2010 for a 2012 audi S4, something different for a bit but i hope to be back in a mustang 3 years from now. do it right ford!!

2011 Kona Blue

There's a difference in cars! Mustang to Audi. Lol. Total end of the spectrum on that upgrade
