Mustang GT 2013 Review

 The newest Mustang, in GT form, makes 420 horsepower, and is good for 390 pound-feet of torque, and starting at only $31,000 it’s a steal.

But let’s start with the new things on the 2013 Mustang.
First off the tail lights now have a "smoked" look to them, and the turn signals are in sequential function, some people dislike the idea, but honesty in person it looks fantastic. Inside the car you can now order Recaro racing seats, a $1600 option, and no power adjustment, but hey, who buys Recaro seats for comfort? The new Mustang also has a new option called Track Apps, it is located in between the tachometer and the speedometer, you can track the acceleration, braking, and even G-forces that are being applied to your car in corners, other things you can check on include, cylinder head temp, intake temp, and oil temp.

More new goodies on the GT are the new Gotta Have It Green paint scheme, which looks stunning and is a real head turner. You also may notice the new HID headlights on the car, which offer great visibly at night and look great in the day. more options include a new hood which has functional vents that cool the monster V8. The front grill has also been resigned, with a more aggressive look than before, the new Mustangs also come with a new air-splitter which increases corner capabilities, and of course looks.

The new Mustang includes a 6-speed auto transition that uses a push-to-shift control which is located on the side of the shifter, which is sadly, horrid, the shifts feel slushy and slow, and down shifts feel very unresponsive, but why would you buy a 420 horse power beast and buy a automatic? go ahead and buy the manual version, which shifts as good as you do. On the positive note the car handles much better than the car it replaces, which is partly because of the new Electric Power Assist system available on the 2013 model of the Mustang, even more nerdy assists include the Hill Assist control, which applies the brakes for two seconds on steep hills, making it much less complicated pulling away from hills.

All in all this is a great car, with loads of options to choose from, the possibilities are endless. It combines comfort, with power, and practicality, with every day fun. With the new touches that make a great car even better, there’s no reason not to love a 2013 Mustang GT.
