have pics of it? I want to see what black wheels looks like on that color bc thats the only color I have found withthe options I want. Plus I have a brand new set of forgestar cf5's in gloss black to go on it or my car.

It was so beautiful I would have dropped my iPhone when taking that pic.

I think I am going to do it. Just found a silver premium with recaros brembos and auto for 31k with the rebates. sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

13 GT is the best looking mustang GT ever built. put them side by side stock (11-12 vs 13) there is no comparison.

Got mine back last may, best move I made and it feels faster in stock form then my 2011 modded did. Got it for 34k which wasn't bad but I got everything loaded on this. I also love this front end much better.

Hmm, trolling?

2013's extras include,

LED tails, HID's, recaro's, cluster LCD with track apps, 8 more HP, body colored rockers, new bumpers, and something else I'm probably forgetting.

Now, you might not be a fan of the new front bumper and that's understandable, but everything else is a clear upgrade. I'm curious what they are going to add to the 2014 and I hope it's nothing substantial. LOL.


As for the OP trading his old one in for one, only if you aren't going to lose your ass on it.

2010, 2011, & 2012 all have LED taillights. 8 more HP? That is debatable.

I've personally never understood why people like the 11-12's but not the 13's...

but I would have a very hard time stomaching all that depreciation to upgrade to a very slightly different car than I currently have. Let's be honest, the only difference between the two is pretty much cosmetic and lighting.

I'd probably wait till the next model comes out before deciding what you want to do.

I liked the 11-12's... but not enough for me to want to get one. Then the 13's came along, with TrackApps and the revised back end... and the headlights to go along with the more aggressive front styling and I was hooked. I already knew what the 5.0 could do and how it responds and handles.... but something about the looks didn't do it for me. The more I saw the 13 from all angles and the lines of it I couldn't hold out and sold the Cobra for one. Now I have a new car, that I can do anything with for tiny lil payments that still let me save for some bigger power when I finally decide that I want to void the warranty...lol Love the 13, all the toy, the sync, the track apps and how it looks.... :beer:

I do think that some of the hate on the 13 might be that 11-12 owners are a lil bit butthurt that Ford up and changed the look of them so soon into the model run...I could be wrong. Just sayin...lol:poke::beer:

I have a '12 and really like the '13s, so much that I have made a trip to a few dealers to see how close we could get on a trade.

For an equally optioned car it was going to be about $4,000-$5,000 more to trade for the '13. All you are getting is new lighting and painted valences, all of which can be changed on an 11-12 for much less than that.

I couldn't deem it worth doing.

Can you change the front end, tail lights, valance and track apps for that as well? Diff strokes for diff folks, but there was a bit more than just painted valances and some lights. :beer:

I went from a 12 base to a 13 premium and won't be looking back. With a few tweaks I prefer the 13 look. Now why Ford couldn't figure out to put the correct owners manual versions in the cars I dunno.. just spent an hour trying to program the garage door opener until I realized it was not homelink per the owners manual but actually car2u..
