If the weight is reasonable this will be sweeeeet!

04cobra · 11-17-2014, 08:48 AM

Needs to be priced below m3/m4 for me to buy it though

I agree. It does look sick, though. Hopefully it's reasonably priced.

Agree as well. I would imagine 50s?

auf Deutsch · 11-17-2014, 09:27 AM

Needs to be less than the $59k GT500. w/o a SC and 150+/- less hp, I'd say it's doable.

basscadet · 11-17-2014, 09:28 AM

It's going to be in the 50s, remember they have to leave room for the GT500 above it.

Leave it to Ford to build a better M3 than BMW can do. Boy has the world changed.

Quite possibly true. Props to Ford.

gthal · 11-17-2014, 10:12 AM

Awesome!! Can't wait to see one.

BMV///M3 · 11-17-2014, 10:16 AM

Oh my.....the sound.

Ford AND Chevy have really come a long way in competing with the M. Can't fall back on the interior or track performance favoring BMW as justification of price. I def interested in the reviews.

irablumberg · 11-17-2014, 10:56 AM

Uh oh. I can't handle a world where I'm afraid of a Mustang in my M4 ;-)

FogCityM3 · 11-17-2014, 11:26 AM

A normally aspirated, high revving, flat plane crank engine.... Ferrari performance and engine characteristics for ~$60 k. That is amazing and for one who tracks, how can this not be considered?

AstonMartin · 11-17-2014, 11:27 AM

Stunning!

Inablur · 11-17-2014, 12:11 PM

I want one...hopefully this also goes on international sale and Im in.

backhill · 11-17-2014, 12:39 PM

Can't wait to use the father in-laws employee A plan for this thing!

ixse · 11-17-2014, 12:47 PM

I may just wet my pants just imagining the sound of that motor reving to 8k.. 11sec car at less than 60k? Sign me up

mkoesel · 11-17-2014, 01:17 PM

At last - some official info.

Now, we need more specs - bore, stroke, redline, peak power RPM, peak torque RPM, dyno graph, etc.

I don't understand how this is financially feasible. If it is, I don't know why every car manufacturer is not doing the same. This is the stuff car dreams are made of.

Props to Ford and Chevy. These guys are brining it. Even their design is starting to look more compelling.

Accel Junky · 11-17-2014, 01:58 PM

Honestly...I'm a bet let down by the sound. Doesn't sound like I imagined.
