    I emailed my dealer and pricing isn't out yet. If it's under 60k then.... If it goes over 60k I'm out.

    And i just found out that Ford kept a 285 rear tire on the rear. Unreal. They must have a reason for this! If the 285 is not enough for the current car, how is it going to hold up over 650hp?

    Exactly ! I heard $60's for this new one, unknown what the "pkg's" will cost. I'm sure some dealers will jump this to a $100K, saying , "rare", "exclusive",last before the body style change, yadda,yadda...

    Hopefully the new launch control and torsen diff. will help out with some of the traction problems. I was really surprised to see they kept the 285. Thought for sure they would go a little bigger.
