Test drive for sure! Its going to take a lot to win me over though. I have a lot invested in my car, its going to have to be an awesome ride to make me switch over... I doubt it will happen, but looks to be an awesome upgrade. I am impressed.

I remember seeing the meat of this somewhere, but it's looking good and very tempting, especially with the Yellow Blaze Tri-Coat.. I can't wait to see it

Everything sounds great, but I don't like the 11 to 1 compression. Not good for Superchargers, turbos, or nitrous.

I can forsee lots of used 05-09 S197's on used car lots within the next year, lol.

I'm interested in that new steering rack (EPAS?). And a salvage drivetrain once they start popping up.... I'm sure someone will find a way to retrofit that powertrain into an 05-10 within the first year.

The Ford Racing catalog should have some nice new performance parts!

You know it.
Maybe 05/10 V6 owners?

I would assume somewhat more than a 2010, which should put it in the $35k range. They will be expensive for the first year, you can bet.

missing the 2nd round Isle of Man TT...gotta go!!!

As Wally39 pointed out, 11:1 compression is terrible for any type of forced induction on a street car. Typcially the highest you want to go is 9.5:1 with 8.9:1 or 9.0:1 being ideal. I know there will be those that state with forged internals and the right tune you can really push the motor, but the average joe will have a limit. Their wallet.
