So Ford Brought A Couple 2013's To My School Today...

**Chris's FX4** · 10-01-2012, 07:18 PM

... and I thought I'd share some pics and a video (GT500 at the end) with you, seeing as many of us on here are car nuts. The Career Fair is tomorrow so other companies are out as well. Chrysler had some cars out, GM was doing ride and drives, and Mercury Marine was doing boat rides.

Anyways, Ford had 2013 F150's, 2013 Flex, Explorer, Focus, GT500, Lincoln MKT, Taurus SHO, Escape, Mustang, and a couple 2012's.

Warning: The following pictures contain some swirls and a dirty Raptor.

These were all taken with my phone.

Dark green Lariat with Ecoboost.

Terrain color SVT Raptor with bead locks. Gotta tell you, this color is awesome in person.

These wheels are capable of being true bead locks with a kit from Ford Racing.

2013 Explorer Sport. This has the 3.5 Ecoboost.

Finally my favorite, 2013 GT500 w/ Performance Pack.

... and a video of the GT500 start-up and rev. The kid that walked in front of the camera actually jumped a little. What the guy says at 55secs is pretty accurate.

(Click the image). Best viewed with headphones or exceptional speakers.

Boy Chris, those are some fine examples especially that gorgeous Mustang GT500....

I must say, Ford is ahead of the game, vs the other American manufactures.

2013 F150 looks great
new shelby looks like for the price and specs, it beats a lambo
The flex , could use more united states styling,

I hope Ford will build a vehicle with a classic body styling like a 1st model crow victoria or some other car in the future

Lincolns are looking good too

Those tail lights just make me sick!! Yuk. Other than that its a DROOOL all the way for me. I prefer the 2005-2009 Body style Stangs (if I were ever to like horse ####) Being a Camaro/Firebird fan at heart.

Gorgeous doesn't even describe it for me, I'm in love.

Couldn't agree more Jomax.

I would take this new Shelby over a Lambo any day. I would take a Shelby 1000 S/C over a Bugatti too.

I agree about the Flex, the 2013 is kind of weird looking. The Flex has always been, so to say, "out of the box" since day one though.

I disagree, I think this is one of the sexiest rear ends out there right now. To each their own though.

It all started with the 2003 cobra. That is why ford code named it the terminator hehe. I can easily afford a 2013 GT500, but im a terminator guy at heart. I also have a soft spot for the fox body. 05 and up, I can't do it

Looks like the Explorer can no longer go exploring(except for mall parking lots). That ground clearance is atrocious! My altima has more front bumper clearance than that.

I completely agree with you. Going purely off looks alone, I would take a 2003-2004 Cobra over any other mustang available(including GT500 and Roush). The new ones are nice, but they don't do much for me.
