I'm not saying that Ford is being dishonest but I think many are waiting for head to head challenges by the same testers at the same time.

That's not really my take, but I can certainly agree that there would be much more chatter if it were given a direct heads up showdown against another known performance car. Personally, I wanna see it up against the GT3 RS. I mean, if the two perform as closely as we've heard, that would be a masterpiece of heads up competition!
That said, the magazine folks are going nuckin' futs over the thing. It's just forums like this one where it seems almost like crickets in the night. I don't much care, personally, but I gotta give credit to this thing. It's very well, if not incredibly well priced and it has been touted as a super performer, even by writers who've merely sat in for a trip around the track. I think the part about the car that's going to nearly stun will be ... the brakes. I'm (at this point) expecting Corvette-like stopping 60-0 in under 100' and that kinda braking sho' nuff helps road course times.
