The Boss 302 is still my favorite current Mustang, but now that I've spent a weekend with the revised, 2013 Mustang GT, I'm pretty sure I could live happily with it instead. My colleague Jake Holmes detailed all the changes that Ford made to the entire Mustang lineup for 2013 when he drove the cars back in March. Among the changes he mentioned were two new additional colors, Gotta Have It Green and Deep Impact Blue, which is what our test car wore. "Gotta Have It" is not a descriptive term that I would ascribe to the bright green paint, but I loved the blue-on-black combination. I also think the 2013 Mustang's subtle styling changes, especially to the front end, add a touch of, dare I say it, sophistication to this pony car. The newly standard HID headlamps are a welcome addition; I'm obsessed with headlight quality, and these are quite good on both low and high beam.
