I am a little torn. Which one would you suggest? 2012 or 2013? Besides the following:
1. Track App - I don't care
2. Pony Projection - It's cool but don't care
3. HID lights - Why do people talk about HID lights like there's no tomorrow? I just don't care as long as its lights come on
4. 8 more house - OK, but not a deal breaker

What would be reason I should buy a 2013 version? Any thoughts? If you tell me the 2013's quality is 10 times better, I'll pull out of my check book right now.

How do I modify my post? :-(

I just don't see any ground shaking changes in 2013. :-(

For me, I would choose the 2013 mainly because of the much improved tail light design. However, because of the added hps and other cosmetics, you may be paying a lot more unless you can find a great deal.

It does look interesting cosmetics :-(

The only cosmetics I like is the new hood vents but I can put an aftermarket one on way cheaper.

2013's also have a different nose that is GT500-esque. Plus the rear diffuser and rear bumper are different and the side moldings are painted on the 2013 and not the 2012.

For the most part its about which look you like more. There are also a few color changes. However, if you like the '11-'12 look you can most likely find a better deal mon those.

Any improvement on the interior? How about overall quality?

I've seen the new 2013's up close and personal. The only changes Ive seen were cosmetic. The 2012 & '13's both have the same engines, suspension brakes, interior etc. Pretty much the same price too.

Personally I think the '12's have a more aggressive front end than the '13's.

I recently made the same choice, and here's why I chose a 2012:

0) I don't care about the front Shelby-like grill surround.

1) I like the taillights, but I DON'T like the back of the deck lid or the license plate area.

2) And the biggest reason - there aren't any aftermarket body kits available for it yet. It's also not clear if hoods made for the 11/12 Shelby's will fit the 2013 non-Shelby (I would bet not for some silly *** reason we're not aware of yet).

You may have other reasons for going with one over the other.
