The weight is still a bit much for me. I know a lot of people don't care, or say they don't, but over 4200 pounds is insanity. This is the reason a Hellcat has never been on my list, even though they are very affordable in the used market and pretty awesome.

Excited to see the reviews of the driving feel nonetheless. Will wait and see if Ford can pull it off, but I think in the end of the day the weight will prove too much for my liking. I think I could justify a used one later on, but $75K for 4200+...nah...

And yes, no manual......no thanks. Had a DCT, and while awesome it was also boring. Perfect for a performance sedan/SUV etc....but I have to have some gears to row in my performance coupes. First car was a stick('96 Z28), and I just love the experience too much to be fully satisfied with anything else.
