Shelby American has released the official specs of the 2013 version of the GT350 Mustang.

The 2013 GT350 Mustang has just been given its official release by Shelby American and from the looks of things, it's different in a good way. 'A good way' in the sense that a slew of new colors along with some serious power combine to give the GT350 a distinctive edge versus its predecessors. In terms of styling, the 2013 GT350 features a wide range of color options, such as "Gotta Have It" Green, Candy Red Tint Coat Metallic, Ingot Silver Metallic and more.
