If that turns out to be the way it goes, I'm gonna be jealous! That would make for an awesome looking car! Also, it will be interesting to see how they come to 425HP. If it's just through tuning or, a different set of cams.

maybe i wont have to wait for the next generation mustang to buy a new one.

Many Mustang fans will also be happy to know that the controversial taillight design first seen on the 2010 Mustang have also gone on the chopping block for 2013, giving way to a lights that run straight across the back of the car rather than angling towards the front.

Goood news, fix that ugly ass^ lol

 

[Riptide]

Hallelujah thank you ford for fixing that yay!!

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. From the article and the 'spy' photo it seems like they are focusing on the front end...which IMO does not need to be redesigned. Also, I am not a big fan of copying the look of a GT500...from factory. If you want to do the conversion yourself, thats a different story. Ultimately I would give up the styling cues if they would fix the motor and trans issues, as the look of the car now doesn't bother me (the ass end is growing on me). Either way as of right now its just speculation on what it will look like.

Well maybe i'll hold back on my search for a 2012 and wait for more details of 2013's

I'm excited to see what the hp lvl is gonna be, i actually like the current rear end, i hope they dont change it to much

I don't understand the hate on the rear end, I think it looks good.

The previous version was too square and didn't flow.

But if you look at the s197 the front end of not aligned with the side like the cs/gt. Good for them.

can't wait to see what it looks like. hoepfully some other special editions like a 2013 Mach 1

 

[fdjizm]

Didn't flow with what? the whole 05-09 body just looks pure muscle.
Look at my sig, that shit is fuckin fantastic. fender flares, nice ass, mean front etc...

Exactly.

I also got my fingers crossed for a revised mt82 or different 6spd

 

[Deez-67]

sounds promising

05-09 is just butt ugly in all aspects. I had the option to get a new GT in 05 but opted for a low mileage Terminator. Needless to say I made the rite choice. The 10 came out and I fell in love with it, even the rear end. My only complaint is that the tailights need to mesh better with the deck lid and not have that pointy gap at the edges. It's all opinions and typically if you have it you will rep it but that's why we bought them in the first place. -Shane

IMO it's the tail lights and how it slants forward.

This. And the shitty cheap gray plastic trim doesn't help either.

That's what blackout panels are for.

 

[fdjizm]

The blackout panel does help indeed. but dat diaper

lol
You're car looks good though man the rims def. make it.

 

[jmstang66]

definitely curious to see how this turns out...i'm stuck in the middle on exterior..that rear is growing on me...especially after having owned one for a few months now...

Not sure how that would look with my stripes though...
