Went to the san jose/silicon valley auto show..... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

and the 2013 Mustang GT just blew me away. If i owned a 2011-2012 id be mad for not waiting. Standard HID, louvered hood, and the rear is MUCH improved and gotta love the GT500 front!!
It was cool and strange to watch people walk past the z06,Zr1 and Boss Mustang to go and take a pic of a standard GT 5.0 but its a real stunner of a car. I couldnt get clear pics without people walking in front of me till the end of the show!
i was disappointed no ZL1 though.

Its one sweet car thats for sure. I'd love to have one. All three American muscle cars are great right now but in my opinion Mustang is the best.

ron10 · 01-08-2012, 08:20 PM

it's nice , but i would still take my car.

cyberLS · 01-08-2012, 08:27 PM

getting ready for detroit? what a bunch of baloney. the least they can do is get a camaro and put a zl1 body kit and wheels on it and parade it around the show circuit with a lil barrier with "dont touch" signs on it to give us at least something to look at!!!

I cant believe you still dont like the 2013 stang though, its probably one of (if not THE) best looking mustang of all time.

TJ91 · 01-09-2012, 02:09 AM

wow thats a standerd GT?!
Wow Ford did a great job with it! I love all mucle cars, and brother has an 05 stang. This 2013 model is BEAUTIFUL!!!
Cant believe that front end and headlights are standerd, thats insane!
Love the tail lights soo much that im jealous, just installed my afterburners but this is kind of like a stang afterburner look.

Thanks for posting pics!

TJ91 · 01-09-2012, 02:09 AM

only thing I dont like is the wheels but thats what aftermarket is for

im not a huge fan of the wheels either. I swear a bunch of cars at the auto show had wheels extremely similar to the ones on this mustang.

That's what I was thinking when I first saw it. I thought it was all optioned out ($$$) but no, its all standard! The LED strips by the headlights were a nice touch. You can see an orange boss mustang in the reflection. The boss got a lot of attention last year.not so much this year with the 2013 sitting right next to it!

I love my GT500, but I have to admit I am damn tempted to trade it in for a 2013. Most likely won't, due to the bath I would take on the 2012, but the temptation is surely there!

They keep making it worse.....

whats worse about it?? or do you mean it as "bad for the competition"? Every board that ive looked at has confirmed that the 2013 is a definate upgrade and overrall win for enthusiasts. The new GT looks great all around!

Black5thgen · 01-11-2012, 12:44 PM

The fake hood vents look dumb and the wheels are atrocious. Add in how bad they made the rear end look in 2010 and it's down right ugly. I'm still on the fence about the front end refresh and the tail lights are bad ass. I can't argue with they way they perform but it's the new LS1 Camaro. Badass motor, ugly ass wrapper.
