Actually, Ford skipped a little further forward in time to this:

Kidding aside, it looks like it'll be smaller, lighter, tighter, IRS confirmed, 6 speed standard and they'll offer it in turbo I4, 3.7 V6, and some hairy chested V8.

I'm interested and may pick one up as it's almost time to retire my RX-8.

Heard rumor of a turbo 4cyl.

And paddle shift

same car... maybe you meant this:

I am interested in this too, probably not going to buy one unless lust wins out over common sense. That said I drove a 13 a couple of weeks ago and the Nanny Aids have a really pronounced effect upon the driving experience.

Will you be able to shut these off completely or are you bound to battle against the damn "Big Brother" overlords.

YOu can turn the T/C off with one push of a button, no press and hold or walk three times round it under a full moon whipping it with an elder switch while vestal virgins sacrifice themselves. Just one simple switch. Even in an automatic V6 weighed down by a convertible top you can have plenty of sideways fun in one.

I'm just glad to hear that you drove it in a way that the nanny aids became apparent.

The smile on my wife's face when we got back to the dealership was worth it all and this was in downtown Ft Wayne, the sales rep is still calling me.

I didn't play with any settings and to be honest did not even see the TC button.

I am unaware of how many Nanny Aids the car has, is it just the TC or is there throttle delay, yawl control, G force/body roll deceleration, etc, etc

Is the TC 100% shut down when you push the button or does it still take over if the brain feels you are losing control (having too much fun)

In reply to aussiesmg:

I don't know either on the Mustang. When I test drove one I didn't drive hard enough for anything to kick in, which is why I was impressed that you did! I know on my BMW, if you push the button once, it turns off some of the nannies, but you have to hold it for a few seconds before it shuts off more or all of the nannies. The one time I autocrossed it, I could swear there was still something happening there, but I can't be sure.

Some Traction Control info

http://www.mustangevolution.com/forum/f356/t306649/

"Turn traction control off by pressing the button. To turn off Advanced Traction Control, press and hold the same button for 5 seconds with brake depressed. "

Googly-moogly. If it looks like that I would get rid of the RX-8, Miata and the SUV, kick the Forester to backup duty and buy one to daily drive. If it had a dual clutch available there wouldn't even be any debate about it.
