I can't see the vid...is it an automatic? We all know just how much of a wonderful impact a Ford automatic tranny has on performance.

I kind of agree with Scott's view on the car not being broken in yet. But I wonder why Ford would go out with this thing and run these lackluster times with the press present. Perhaps the guy wasn't running it hard, perhaps this pre-production model wasn't up to par on tuning, or... This raises tons of questions. Should be interesting to see what sorts of times the popular magazines run in the '05.
