So of course there's been a ton of talk about the 2013 GT500 and how it's going to be a pinnacle achievement. After watching the Barrett-Jackson & Meccum auto auctions the past couple of weeks I got to thinking would it be likely that the '13 GT500 might be the Boss 429 Mustang of our generation?
I know the two cars are produced under completely different circumstances, the Boss '9 was a "homolagation special" and the GT500 is essentially a proof of concept deal ( and a b***h slap to the GM/Camaro boys ). But a lot of people have reasonably asked how much further can Ford or anyone else push this envelope w/ the current generation of cars & engines?
While as a die hard Mustang fan I'd love to see the march of progressively more powerful Mustangs continue, I wonder how realistic that is even from a practicality stand point. Since all indications are there will be a redesign in 2015 I'm kind of thinking the TVS charged 5.8 will pass into legend after 2014 likely to be replaced by a somewhat tamer Coyote or 6.2 variant.
Just curios what others here may think?
