I see. Not exactly a gated shift then?

Just like pulling it inadvertently into manual and wondering why it's holding first. Bloody Ford shifters.😉

And cold starting adds contaminants which will be distributed around the engine and not burnt off, as they would with a drive at normal temps. If you're not going to drive it for 6 months or so, you can pull the plugs, inject 10 mls of engine oil into each cyl and spin it on the starter. Like...

A what?

I would have suggested delamination of the tread layer, but unless the Contis were bad too that would discount that. Very weird, I wonder if it's the tread pattern "walking" under deformation when rolling.

100-200 is a fairly standard measurement in the continent of no or ignored speed limits.

1.6 secs less 100 - 200? That's amazing.

I've never been a Ford fan, I am changing though. You have to give Ford credit for what they did. These days front mid engine/ rear transaxle is exotic when all the others are mid engined. Also, how many CEO's race? I was really surprised to see Farley drive at Le Mans. Criticise by all means...

That's the point. A 9000 rpm 4 litre flat six with N/A response? Only Ferrari have made engines that sound as good. And, I love blower scream, so the GTD is up there too. It's not all about numbers, it's how it makes you feel.

If you're going to do that to your car, you better expect some creative criticism. Like; Noooooooooo!

I think that at that price level the difference won't matter to a buyer. To have that tubby GTD so close to a GT3 RS performance and track ability is miraculous in itself. It doesn't have to beat the Porsche, because the GTD could be a DD, the Porsche is a DTC, Daily track car. If someone gave...

Pushing the boundaries is exhilarating, it's called the zoom factor. I think it's banned now. g forces and lean angles make you feel alive. There's a saying, I think it goes "nothing is as exhilarating as being shot at and missed".

When mine went bye byes and I got the Fordpass message, I just plugged in the maintainer overnight and all was normal in the morning. Or you could just drive it.

You can premanently wire in a connection that you plug the maintainer into, either under the hood, or somewhere where you can easily get at it. I had one under my bike seat. On cars I don't bother, just attach the aligator clips. The Mustang is even easier with the aux battery connections.

OK, that's not good practice, shifting mid corner can be a prelude to to tears. When you downshift are you heel/toeing or rev matching? If not 3rd might be a better option.

I've never bothered with that, or disconnecting the battery. A good battery maintainer is a better option. And it keeps all the necessary bits going.

Why are you steering with one hand on the shifter? You shouldn't need to change gear until past the corner exit if you enter the turn in the right gear.

Ok, I've come in late. Isn't the "tuning" the alignment specs? Plus tyres.

Going to a multimeter from a test light was the best thing i did in my tool collection

OK, then the battery might be badly sulphated and dead as a dodo. Which will not be covered by warranty. I'd throw a new quality one in. OK, just read the last post. If it takes a charge get them to do a load test on it.
