the 2013 has some great options. I am thinking about snagging the boss LS torsen, kinda makes me wish I had waited and gotten it factory.

I'm such a whore for a good torsen

The Torsen has been available for a long time. I'm considering it or the Eaton.

I want to see the '13 GT Recaros. I *think* they're leather like the GT500, but without the GT500 markings. If so then I am buying them ASAP.

not as a factory installed option (or has it?)

:yum:

I meant the ability to just buy one and install it yourself.

Yes, not sure if you read my story about how I ended up with the 5.0. Let me find the link and post it here. But bottomline, a 20 minute testdrive of the new 5.0 did it for me. All prior misconceptions I had were just that, a misconception...ill advised. I was a believer after 20 minutes.

As far as Z tranny, yes that was my one big beef. I got tired of it being labeled as "normal". The rattling, the sound of marbles, etc..... The 5.0 tranny is smooth but not without faults. It was a little vague, though short shifting. The MGW I did resolved all that.

Let me know how your test drive goes. And yes I would have LOVED to keep both cars in the stable... but I could not, since I am not so financially inclined as you may be. But yes, you will have the best of both worlds!!!

I wouldn't be testing it out until late summer at the earliest, maybe even later than that since I'm trying to buy a new house. New house or 5.0....hmmm :stirthepot:

My tranny rattles only in first mostly; especially when you let off gas while in first. What bothers me more is the "sensitive" aspect. It's not very forgiving and a bit hard to figure out at first.

It's just one big HP party 'til the Gubment comes and takes our power. :icon17:

Exactly! Get my 650hp stang and watch as the goberment makes it impossible to make any more

Steve, you might want to take a look at the cost of the recaros. It's like 1500 bucks. That's steep. I will be happy with my leathers :)

The 2013 is just ok. No kona, terrible black plastic license plate surrounds...makes me glad I got my 2012.

Btw, side note... Wife and i test drove a 2012 focus SE today. What a surprisingly fun and spirited car to drive. Almost traded my aging 2002 civic right then and there. That chassis is amazing. Ford is reeeeeally impressing me lately.

my thoughts exactly. so many other good options for less than $1500 too

If they are only $1500 then I am jumping on them.

Nothing in leather at the quality of Recaro.

I'll either get the GT Recaros or the Recaros that come in the TT-RS, or Sparco Milano Prestige. But I'd prefer to get the GT Recaros since they retain the side airbags.
