I hope they make that lightened wiring harness available through Ford Racing. That will be a nice piece to have for those who are building S550 race cars. We knew they couldn't run the 19" wheels but it sucks that they had to downgrade the brakes, too.

Are you assuming that because the front calipers are 4 piston on the race car vs. 6 on the road car that they've been downgraded? I'm sure the brakes they're running on the race cars are far more capable than the road car brakes.
