2013 Mustang pricing is crazy..

[TRAXX]

Regarding the oil squirters and the 8 hp, here is what I read and copied from another board:



3/19/2012 - Car and Driver, "Ford has found eight more ponies in the 5.0-liter V-8, achieved by applying Boss 302 piston coatings and discontinuing the oil squirts formerly cooling the undersides of the pistons, a function the engineers now believe to be unnecessary based on experience with the 5.0".
-------------------
3/19/2012 - Motor Trend, "Let's start with those eight extra horses, which nobody was clamoring for, but are welcome just the same. They were found in Boss 302-inspired calibration changes like making the spark retard a bit less conservative and deleting the oil-squirters that cooled the pistons but were deemed superfluous and a source of windage losses".

Yup, 8 more horsepower and there is also a couple of new colors too. One of them is that aweful bright green like on the Camaros. Yuck!

*Edit* I just remembered to add - the additional 8hp comes from there is no more oil squirters for the 13's.

WHAT!!!???!!!!


Fuck that noise!!!

Mike... pm skip or Josh Purdue and they'll tell you.

I am not in the market to buy one so I am not that concerned with it. I was just curious. The whole point of assembly lines is to be more efficient, build more, lower cost and all that jazz. I don't have an idea what it takes or how much time to build one but even $25,000 on a $45,000 seems like a lot to build something that is being mass produced.

Wait, so the 2013 no longer has oil squirters?!

I'm not sure where Steve heard this, but I thought they just tweaked the PCM for more power, I don't see how deleting the oil squirters gains 8HP.

Like you could seriously think about buying one right now.


I can wait for some used ones to pop up.

There goes their ability to take lots of power with a stock bottom end...

Can someone tell me how much new car dealer ships mark up these cars? Someone who actually has experience and knows? Or how much a car like this cost to build on an assembly line?

From what I gather on Fords website, a '13GT 6M (300A) will start at $31,095.00 this is a base GT with nothing added. A '13 GT premium starts at 35,790.00 this is w/6speed manual.

Most dealerships will come down a little or give you X-plan pricing, you will need to know someone to get D or A plan, Ford doesn't fuck around when it comes to these plans.

You can't go wrong with any of those colors. The white, well the 2010-2013 look sweet in white, especially with the glass roof. The sterling grey is whats on my wifes car and it has a lot of metallic flake, giving it some kickass sparkle in the sunlight. The DIBlue is stunning, tough choices...

We'll see. It will probably have to be ordered from what I am told. I still need to decide between Sterling Grey and Performance White. Not sure which I like more. Seems most other people really like the Deep Impact Blue because it looks so close to Sonic Blue.

White power.

I guess you'll see on Saturday when you pick up your '13...
