I had the opportunity to view and ask several questions about the 2013 Boss 302. Since the car club had a private showing, they opened up the vehicle and even allowed it to run briefly.
Here is that I was told through Ford and its presenter. Most of the information will be what many already know but just in case some may not. Obviously the nose and rear end of the body has been changed. The new front end and grille offer a more aggressive look with the increased airflow reducing over heating issues.
The fog light section of the grille can be removed using a screwdriver during track use and screwed back in when necessary. The grille is of the honeycomb design seen in the Shelby GT500.
Moving back towards the rear of the car......the driver and passenger side mirror are now heated and come with what's called a "puddle light." The puddle light come on either when the doors are unlocked using the key remote or when the doors are opened. The light shined down to the ground is in the shape of the Mustang pony.
New LED lights have been added to the redesigned tail section of the car. An outline of the brake lights is what's LED. Rear spoiler is the same as the small spoiler in 2012. Tires and rims remain unchanged.....the lower rocker panels are now color matching, not the standard black as the 2012.
Under the hood has no change. LED headlights, and the redesigned hood to fit the extended nose cone. The vents seen on the hood are heat extractors and are 100% functional.
Ford at this mornings showing, did not have a tech specialist on hand so those questions will be asked later this weekend when I return to the Expo. I will see what they can tell me. I will also try and post photos soon, just have to find time here at work to get them onto photobucket.
Hope this little write up shines some light on a few questions.
