Default American Muscle Reviews 2013 GT

Watch it here: American Muscle Reviews 2013 GT

There are a whole slew of changes to the 2013 GT, but the most interesting (besides the bump to 420 hp) ones are probably the suite of tech upgrades. Accelerometers, timers, there's even a "brake performance" app. Are they worth it? Watch the video to find out.

I hate & love that color at the same time.

Pretty cool review. Surprised they didn't mention the "pony lights" on the side mirrors when going over the new lighting elsewhere.

What wheels are those? They look a lot like the GT500 SVT wheels.

I am not a fan of the color, but there's a lot of cool features!
On my way home from work, I actually seen a green 2013 Mustang pass by me. My first thought that came to mind was, "what kind of color is that?"

I like that color for the Boss not sure about the GT. I think the Boss stripes help settle the color down a bit.

Thanks for the comments, guys! The new Gotta Have It Green is a lot better in person, I swear. It has some yellow to it and a lot of metallic. Definitely not something that I'd drive every day, but a cool weekend car and perfect for a company like AmericanMuscle trying to make a statement!

The new technology in the car is great and let's the driver really get a chance to test out the car in stock form, as well as every time they add a new mod. We love the 0-60 and the 1/4 mile testing, as well as the ability to see wideband air/fuel ratio on the dash. Makes a tuners life easy!

I seen a GT in Green today at work, it looks a little better in person but I agree that it needs some black in there to settle it down.

You see, it's fine and dandy if they look great in person, but I have to fall in love with it in pictures as well because I love documenting my ride. If it doesn't shine in pictures almost as nicely as it shines in person, then I can't have it! haha.

That being said, I'm loving the 2013 more and more. I wouldn't buy the premium just due to the higher price tag and I can mod the interior/exterior in time and do the work myself for cheaper. Though, it'd be awfully hard to personally install those electronics in the dash so that'd I'd have to go without. The track apps are cool and everything. But tell me, how many times are you going to be checking your A/F on a daily driver? And when I'm driving spiritedly (and I may be speaking for myself here), I don't care how long it took me to get to 60mph, I just care about how I feel in the cockpit. However, I do have to say that the coolest thing about the 2013s are the LED tails
