Some of the Grabber Blue from the TeamShelby site. I'm not in love with the Shelby nose

I see CATFISH as others have posted.

sorry to say, but its just my opion......There is to much color / Paint on the 2013 and it needs to be more defined as the 2012 was. However I do love the hood and reflective stripes. Got to have it Green will have to "Got to Grow on Me. It just seems with the nose of the car...Ford took the easy way out using stock parts. This is just my view on the 2013. WE ALL KNOW THAT CHOICE IS LIKE A$$HOLES....EVERYBOBY HAS ONE. Will there be a 2014 Boss 351??

I realize I am biased but thank goodness for the beautiful 2012 CO parked in my garage. I could live with the blue but the snout and the vehicle proportions just don't feel right. (My daughter just called to tell me a garage spring and pulley fell off. My heart sank but everything appeared to stay together and not attack my Boss!)

Only 2013 Boss I like is the SBY LS that was the first to be revealed... not a fan of the grabber blue or green.

Maybe it's just me, but I think the Shelby snout not only looks better than the 2012's, along with the HIDs, but I think the larger opening will improve cooling. Just my speculation though.

Cooling. And downforce. Less lift at the leading edge.

I had basically the same reaction. Not feeling the green, like the blue but the snout looks like a Shelby. The non-contrasting roof, painted rockers and diffuser are what makes it seem out of proportion to me.

I guess we're just used to the 2012s, but when we first saw those I think we did a double take too. Probably needs to grow on us a bit.

The new 2013 front end looks like a cross-eyed (the HIDS) pig (the nostrils being the foglight deletes in the grill).

Unhappy

I just cant get excited about the green. I just think competition orange is the best color for a Boss 302. I would think there would be few Boss owners who would trade a competition orange for any of the 2013 colors.

I'm glad they made the two cars different looking like back in the day. I would have hated to see a rehashed '12 with only different stripes for the '13 car.
