Rented a 2013 V6

jumbowolfe · Jan 7, 2013

I'm pretty close to making the decision to buy in the next few months, a newer Mustang. So I had a chance to rent one on the company dime. Man, I can't believe how quick the new 6's are compared my SN. Very quick, obviously missing the torque of a V8, but overall very responsive.

I will say though, I prefer the sn95 interior to the newer stangs. I wonder if the Cobra seats or the Ford Racing ones are a bit more comfortable than the stockers too (the seats are leather in this V6).

Anyway, can't wait to test drive a 2013 GT, if the V6's are this good.

Nice I have been wanting to drive one and a GT around. I did rent a GT-H Vert a few years ago and that was fun.

Nice lookin car. The V6's are pretty quick. It would have to be a 5.0 for me though, just personal preference. Is that one stick or auto?

Its a rental so I would bet a auto.

its nice that they put out!!!! too bad we have to work for our horses, much more appreciated. Just think about all them high school children tooling around in the new 2013's!!!!

this high school children is reppin the sn 6er

imo, the new stangs look pretty great. I really hated the first gen s197's but I love these 2nd gens. anyone know when the '14 will be revealed? I wanna see it.

i didnt really like the early 197s but now i like them more since the newer ones came out.....the ass end of the late 197s looks terrible

belber095 · Jan 7, 2013

I like the tail lights on the 2nd gens

They definitely designed the suspension right this time. The GM boys are cryin' at the race track, along with a few cake eaters (german car enthusiasts) too.

Great looking cars IMO.

Meh, I don't like the 05-09 at all, but the 10-12 looked a lot better. The new ones are hideous though. I did get to drive a 2013 California Special, and it did nothing for me. The interior isn't comfortable to me, and the ass end is just way too bulky. I'm happier in my little 97 that I've only got $4500 in.

I haz a new GT. You should get one. They are so much better than any Mustang ever that it's not even funny. I highly recommend the glass roof and brembo package.

OP, I just want you to be clear that the new v6 mustang would slaughter your old 5.0....the way you were talking about them made me feel like you werent quite sure. haha

You should cop on demz

I love my Cobra but after 7 SN95s, I have my eyes on the low mile 2011s... The new mustang is like no mustang ever built the power and reliability is next to none.

Feelings mutual here man. Being a Ford tech, I get to enjoy the new Mustangs all the time. The more seat time I get, the more I want a 2011+

Man I love your red one! I can't decide if I want to go with a used 2011-2012 premium or just go brand new. I can't afford a brand new premium, but I could afford brand new gt standard. I'm really starting to fall in love with these after driving the v6 this week. Either way, I'm going coyote 5.0 unless I just run into some amazing 2010 4.6 deal.

I'm in the same boat. I kinda want a '10GT though.

Question for you guys, What is the price diff. between the '10MY cars and the '11's? I want a car with low miles and a manual, Glass roof and Brembos would be nice but I'm not picky. What are the prices like? Just wondering.

the.greg · Jan 8, 2013

Ive driven a 11 v6, a 13 v6, and a 11 gt. I've also driven the new camaro and the new challengers, and they all feel too big and bulky for me, but the mustangs felt a little less bulky than the others.

The new gt is such a good car for the price it is hard to beat. And then you can just slap a blower on it and push 600rwhp for about 5-6k, it kinda makes you wonder why people buy the 13 gt500s. I mean I still get it, but my point is that the 5.0 gt is a hell of a car for the price point with TONS of potential.

There is absolutely no way I would consider getting a 2010 4.6 gt.
