The Boss has Sync and Power Seats for the year lineup. Both cars are running a GT500 front clip.

We know for fact the 5.0 will remain in the redesigned Mustang, Ford is not going to abandoned that technology with only a short 4 year run. Production Engineers at Ford have went on the record of stating they are looking forward at ramping up the Roadrunner program for the new '15 redesign.

Now whether that means the Boss is no longer limited production, more specialty V8 Mustangs or the GT gets the Forged Boss engine. The other flipside of the coin is direct injection as the Coyote was originally designed for it and Ford left head room in there for it.

Its not even 2012 yet and you are telling me that Ford is sending 2013 mustangs to dealers already!?! are you drunk? If not, proof please....

I never said they would abandon the new 5.0? And "ramping up the Roadrunner program" could just mean making the Boss even more powerful while remaining limited production

You do realize, Job 1 for the 2013 Mustang is January 2012 right?

2012 Mustangs have been sitting on dealer lots since March 2011 when production started back in December 2010 (yes for 2012s)

You cannot purchase a 2013 but Ford has been showing off the new 2013 lineup at select dealers for a few months now.

I am going to put good money come mid November under the official unveil, you will see a GT and a Boss using the 2010-2012 GT500 front clip.

Got one more link, one second

1.) you do realize its NOT Jan. 2012 yet, therefore no 2013 production mustangs are produced yet so wtf does your first sentence mean/prove?

2.) The first link shows the LCD gauge mode? so what? Im talking about styling, not features.

3.) The second link is some RANDOM ASS GUY - that could be anybody because well, it is the internet after all - who claims he saw the 2013 mustang but got no pics? Even if he did, he may have not seen the final production version

and: "You cannot purchase a 2013 but Ford has been showing off the new 2013 lineup at select dealers for a few months now" What dealers? Please let me know, because I would love to go see one ASAP!

I'm not saying you're wrong and I'm not betting against you, just saying that they are only rumors so far...nothing announced

You do realize Ford (and many other manufacturers) produces the demonstrators many many months prior to production right? This is done to gain initial opinion in case if they need to retool the production line due to overwhelming negative feedback found from shows and dealers.

Theyre showing them to "some" dealers for product training, theyre not showing them off to the public.

One thing Ford is very bad at, and that is keeping a secret.

2013 Mustang GT sitting under wraps at the LA auto show... hmm that front end looks different so does the rear from what I can make of it. Granted this is just a promo photo, but its fun to speculate.
