Don't look...there's nothing down here for you!
I doubt it. Ford isn't Nissan or Mitsubishi.
Back in the SVT Cobra days, Ford used to host SVT track days, and honored warranty on any components that failed at those events. I think Ford's current marketing group is smart enough to realize that offering a "track only" key and then voiding the warranty if owners use said key is inviting a shit ton of negative press.

I like it and knowing Black/Blue Roadster doesn't like it makes me like it even more!

I'd like to hope for the best. Ford's been doing some good things lately. If nothing else, by offering this they are at least showing that they have confidence the drivetrain will stand up to a decent level of abuse.

why do they give you 2 keys... your just going to throw away the non track key
I'm guessing the throttle calibration on the Trackey is pretty aggressive. Aggressive enough to get annoying when you're just headed to the store for a gallon of milk.

I have a 2007 GT and I think it's a terrible car. The driving experience is so enfuriating. Easily the worst car I've owned (though it is still rattle free after 3.5 years of ownership). Having said that, the new 5.0 is interesting at least on paper. The 302 is VERY interesting. My wife says I'm not allowed to get another Mustang because of the b*&%ing I've done about my '07. My next car will have four doors anyway...

My son just turned 1 and kiddo number two will be here in July :). So my OTM needs 4 doors. I'm thinking 06-07 WRX wagon...

I'd rather have the 06-07 wagon. My backups are 2011 wrx 5 door or Ralliart Sportback. I've got the wagon bug.

I can't wait for the Focus RS to hurry up and get here in 2012. I'm not a big mustang fan, but I have always loved the cosworth escorts and the RS Focus.
Lets hope ford does us right....

I think the focus styling is great, but I don't know about FWD...
