We talked about that years ago. You know the answer.
what a great headline! So true.
Great interviews! Thanks for the excellent and convenient post, and thanks for the coverage!
You're right, but I think Ford also knows that the street guy and the road-race guy will want that balanced setup, and may run it the way it is from the showroom. However, they know that the drag race guy will throw on Slicks & skinnies for the track (like most of us do). By sticking with the 285 they can please the street guy (who may not care) & the road race guy who wants the crisp handling and steering.
Just my .02 :beer:

+1. Great vids. Thanks!
The rear tire is fine, I can deal with that, what I can't get over is that you can't put a rim with decent sized lip on the back without doing major modification to the rearend. Ford should put a spacer on the back rim of that car, so that you CAN get a good looking rim on the back of it, my dad has an 06 convertible Mustang GT, and he hates that he cant put a rim with lip on the rear of that car, thats a major reason the car is still rolling on stock rims, it's supercharged and everything, now he's got to lower the rearend just to make the back end look like he could with the older model mustangs he has owned.
Not lower, narrow the rearend, my bad.
I don't understand why they would have someone with such HORRIFIC presentation skills showcasing their brand new pride and joy??? TERRIBLE!
I got a kick on the engine video how the cam has a little notation on it saying 'precision machined...' lol, isnt that kind of assumed or did they used to break cams out of a cast and clean em up with a hatchet?
Exactly what I was thinking... I sold my 04 Cobra getting ready for the purchase of a new 2013 GT500. But beings they've given us the 5.8 without vvt I'm defefintly going to hold off until they offer the complete package... 5.8 with vvt before I lay down this kinda $$$.
Perhaps because he's the chief engineer? You guys need to show a little respect. Jamal was doing this as a favor for SVTP, and he was basically just going of the cuff here. Would you have rather we just talked to one of the random people walking around who only know the details they learned from their script? If I were a more talented video editor I could have made it look better, but alas I am not.
Weight is about the same as 2011-12.
I watched the vids on the new ZL-1 Camaro and KNEW that SVT would match them on it. Damn I love Mustangs!!
I wish I could afford a 2013 but Ill just keep beatin the snot outta my 93 that Ford built 20 years ago and is still goin strong!

x10000. I would rather listen an an actual ENGINEER describe these cars than some idiot spokesperson. Who cares if he stammers a little bit. Awesome vids Travis.
I just wish that they would drop the "Shelby" and stick with the SVT badging. In all honesty, this is not a "Shelby" and the cost of having the Shelby nameplate on what is basically an SVT Cobra is probably directly recuperated from the customer. I like to say that I have a Shelby, but if it were the same car, cost a few bucks less and was just an SVT Cobra, I would be more happy.
Great Videos, by the way, they have tempted me yet again to sell my 2010 and wait on a '13 or '14. Thank You!
