Curious who has ordered the 2013 GT500, what options, and what you're paying.

I ordered Grabber Blue

MSRP is 54,200 I believe, plus destination of 795? So, essentially 55K..

I added Recaros for 1400ish...

With tax and stuff it comes out to just shy of 60,000 I believe. Too lazy to go look at my sales sheet.

I love the stripes, but said no stripes a long time ago.

With all the hype, what would be the added items for complete performance package upgrade beyond the most basic package this year??

I like the look of the white exterior with red stripes that have the black pin stripe at the edge. Tan interior if possible. Erik

Well the offer I have with local dealer (I'm not budging ) is deep impact blue with black stripes :: svtpp: recaro seats and electronics package $1,000 over INVOICE
Two other friends of mine found dealers to do this deal so I too will hold out for one at this deal... Even if I have to go out of state
:-D

If not I will keep my car for now and suffer with it

LOL

It's tough to say, but if you talk about a strictly horsepower game, then a '12 with the discounts that can be found is a better deal.

PLENTY of dealers trying to get rid of their 12's that've been around for awhile for good deals, then use that money on a pulley swap/intake/tune and you're making a bit more than the stock '13s make.

Of course you're NOT getting a lot of other things. I can't name them all, but they range from the obvious exterior changes like the LED's and 'improved' lookes if you will. As well as the aero changes, the ability to hit 200 mph,the launch control, the improved handling, the transmission got a few small changes to hopefully make it sturdier, the driveshaft etc..

I'm not technical guru, but it's a sum of its parts is < the car in it's entireity

I will go to the Ford dealer this week with some of the logic gleaned from the above posts and inquire about available deals and or building a 2013.

I really have been the most frustrated over the lack of test results of the 2013 over this spring like weather all winter. I'm really waiting to see if this 2013 model really is the handling car I hope it is, and if it can dig in and really go to the next level on the road courses. Erik

I understand the frustration in regards to lack of reviews.

I want to see/read about the car in action.
