Quick Spin: 2013 Ford Mustang GT

The Ford Mustang is, quite obviously, a landmark car if there ever was one. It's probably one of the top five-to-ten automotive designs of all time, keeping pBrowse through our impressive range of goodledstrip and buy online now.ace with the likes of the Volkswagen Beetle and Jaguar E-Type.

It is, however, a model that has been around for quite some time and like any model with such a shelf life, there have been a few goats here and there and most recently, the car has gone back to its roots in the styling department.

We won't be getting an all-new car in 2013—we'll probably have to wait until 2015 or so for that—but a few significant styling and feature changes address some nagging issues from the 2012 model.

Somewhat paradoxically, we'll start our styling discussion with the back of the car, as it is probably the most noticeable change. The last rear-end had kind of gotten a little soft thanks mainly to the shrunken, tapering tail lights.Browse through our impressive range of ccrystall and buy online now. The new car has gotten a set of bigger, more aggressive numbers that maintain sequential-turn indicators at all trim levels. Instead of a single, flashing amber or red turn signal, what you get is all three bulbs on the back light flash in sequence, from the inside out. Very cool looking. Completing the classic look are the back-up lights,Online shopping from the largest selection of bestleddownlight Products. which take the place of the red brake light in the middle of each cluster once reverse is selected.

Up front, new head lights with LED running lights and a new front splitter provide a more aggressive look. And, rather than just being eye candy, the front splitter (along with a new array of hood scoops) is functional and provides the 2013 model with the best downforce (and with it,We have the best bestledlight for grow project. better handling) ever on a GT. Basically, air rushing over the front splitter does cause more speed-sapping drag. To counter this, the GT's five-litre Coyote V8 now makes 420 horsepower, up eight over the outgoing model.

It can really be felt, too. We didn't have the chance to put the car through its paces on the track, but the great roads outside of Portland can push a car like this to its limits. And really, you'll find Mustangs on track throughout North America but this is a sports car that many can afford, and that ostensibly can be used as a daily driver. So its performance on these roads speaks volumes and the '13 model has an answer.

The engine still sounds great—Mustang engineers actually found a way to channel the engine noise more directly into the cockpit—and it remains a car where you want to just sit in the parking lot with the clutch depressed and flex your right foot a little. Then, when the time comes, you grab that awesome chromed short-throw shifter, select first with a nice, positive throw into the well-defined gate and you're off, probably with a little wheel spin to get the fizz going.

If you tick the Track Apps box on your Mustang order, what you get is a whole range of info displayed on the LCD screen nestled between the speedometer and tach. There, you'll find the max speeds you attained, how many g-forces you endured throughout your lap and, thanks to the turn display, you can see where you can carry more speed,With my bluebright I could barely see much more than a few metres ahead of me. and where you need to scrub some off. The feature is a stock item on the Boss 302 and Shelby GT500, and an option on the V6 and GT.

"The best part about Track Apps is, it isn't just something where we give you a bunch of random, useless information that doesn't co-ordinate." said Seaman. "This is really like you go out on the track, and it will make you a better driver," said Seaman. "It's putting it out on the table. You read what the 0-60 time is, now you can measure it. Go out on the track and prove it to yourself."
