Now a 2.3L Ecoboost getting revealed a few days after the WRX must has Subaru pissed....add Nissan and Mitsu to that list too. It's specs say a motortrend best driver's car top 5 finish.
All GTs come standard with 14" 4 piston Brembos. The Performance Pkg GT comes with 15" 6 piston Brembos now. The rear brakes are supposed to be around 13" on the PP as well.

Yep but the pics on Ford have the rear with non brembo caliper, but you can tell they are about 13 inch rotors
