[QUOTE="Tob, post: 11237328, member: 83412"] Thanks to the post on Hameedi's [URL="http://youtu.be/2QsZdG16-V8?t=1m35s"]comments [/URL] on '13 upgrade components , more information is starting to flow. He mentions: Engine... - [i]Unique[/i] to the 5.8 engine TVS - Revised inlet - Cylinder heads use new exhaust valves and seats (cross drilled heads? Must have been an error) Cooling system... - 7 gpm IC pump (up from 3 gpm) - 4" taller IC? (wonder if he was talking about the HE up front? [URL="http://social.ford.com/our-articles/cars/mustang/what%E2%80%99s-new-for-the-2013-ford-mustang/"]This[/URL] link mentions "heat exchanger with volume increased 36 percent") - New ducting - New fan shroud with high speed flap doors - "Bigger" fan that utilizes more "wattage" Body... - Lower lip of new grilles are angled to produce downforce - Splitter bolted to a splitter that can be partially removed for more ground clearance (What a great idea!) Brakes... - Brembo six piston [i]monobloc[/i] (Brembo's spelling) calipers up front - 380mm front rotors (380 mm = 14.9606"...I thought these were unchanged too. Unless I'm mistaken, these just grew by about an inch!) - 350mm rear rotors (350 mm = 13.7795"...2007-2012 rear rotors were 11.8" meaning these grew by 2 inches!) - New master cylinder Rear Axle... - New axles with a higher torque rating (I'd guess they are still 31 spline but utilize "better" materials) - New pinion bearings (the GT500 already used a unique pinion bearing so it sounds like they updated it yet again) New TPMS sensors "that work" to 200mph. Kind of implies that the old ones couldn't do it (flying off inside the tire? Unable to transmit any signal?:shrug:) Hameedi mentioned the block, the transmission, the drive shaft, and quad exhaust tips as well. I think he did a pretty good job running through the changes quickly and off the top of his head. If I owned a 2010-2012 GT500, I'd be anxious to find out if the front bumper/grilles, rear bumper/tail lights will swap as well. [i]So far[/i] it is looking very much like they will. There is a lot more to go through and hopefully it all gets disclosed soon as well. Still waiting to hear about any changes to the catcons on the '13 too.
