2013 Impact Blue GT

Well I've had the car for a little over a week now and finally got her cleaned up and got some good photos. I originally went in looking for an optioned up '12 and after seeing the '13's in person I didn't care what options I had as long is it looked like that and had the 5.0 and a manual. She's a completely base GT and I took her home for invoice. Put new infinity's in to replace the stock speakers the night I took her home and ordering the Roush axel back this week, and looking into shifters. But mostly just having a ton of fun driving it for now. More pics and fun to come!



Also wanted to give a big thanks to Jeff (05fordgt) for helping me out with a bunch of my pricing research!

edit: hold on pic coming...

Yay pic! Image hosting was eating my colors and making the photo look bad, but it's good now.

The car was very cooperative. Those two...not so much. It's a feat in and of itself to get them to lift their heads up and stop eating grass for a few seconds haha.

Also if anyone cares the red horse is Romeo, the tan one is Juliet, and the blue one is as of yet unnamed.

I've test-driven two Deep Impact Blue '13 GT's in the past week. The 1st with that auto-sport shift almost turned me off to new Mustangs altogether. Two days later I went in and drove a 6-speed and faith totally restored. Love the Deep Impact Blue.

Yeah I can't express how much I LOVE the color! This one had to come in from another dealership so I bought it without ever seeing the color in person (just pictures) and am definitely happy with it. It's a bit of a dust magnet but it's worth it cause it looks so good cleaned up.

I was originally looking for a Grabber Blue car but I think the 13's look meaner and better in the darker colors. In my opinion Deep Impact Blue and Sterling Grey are the two best colors on this year.

I also drove an auto around town for a bit while my salesman was doing up some papers and stuff and while it was nice, for me it was nowhere near as fun.

Gorgeous car and pics. Love the pony frame work

Although, that would totally freak me out because I'd be worried they come kick the fenders in. Lol

Thanks!

It was definitely a worry but I really wanted those shots haha.

Precautions were taken though. My mom is just outside the frame to grab them, (and shhh...but there may be a couple lead ropes that got edited out : P) and we tried to keep their rears aimed away since they kick at bugs and stuff with their hind legs lol.

Nice stang(s). You should send the pictures with the horses into the Ford Mustang Facebook site. They have a photo competition.

Beautiful horses, and the car is sweet. I would offer a cautionary tale about horses in proximity to vehicles as part of a lesson delivered my by the giant butt-dent in the bed of a 1999 F350 of mine, when a smart-alec gelding decided it looked like a good place to rub his hind-quarters one day, but I'm sure you know the dangers...

Nice car. Wife just bought a V6 base in that color. Nicest color on the lot, in my estimation.

Sorry for bumping this thread back up. I had a question about your speaker upgrade. Were they plug and play (bolt right up with no modifications)? What model did you use? How's the sound with the stock OEM radio?

I have a base 13 as well and the speakers are HORRIBLE.. I need to get them swapped right away!

Did you swap the front and rears?
