Hood flex normal?

[rdgdawg]

Hi all,
This is my 4th Mustang (2024 GT) and I've also had 4 Corvettes over the years. I've never seen the flex/vibrations in the hood at 80+mph in this one vs the others. I looked up the thread topics and didn't find a similar thread so I'm curious.

Is this a normal thing?

Is it normal to not see any, is that the question?

Sorry.... question is the flexing of the hood normal? It's much more pronounced than the other cars I mentioned, that's why it's so noticeable to me

Search "hood lift" there's quite a few posts on the subject.

There are many post on this... simple solution, adjust the hood stops.

Ya my dark horse does it, even after adjusting them, it still does it just nowhere near as bad

I see it even on the Dark Horse R series during races, but I said better safe than sorry and pinned mine.

Unscrew both rubber feet a quarter turn and then check if it still flexes when you press on a corner.

Thanks guys!

To save you having to read that long thread to work out what to adjust, see my post #99 here: https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/has-anyone-noticed-hood-lift.167017/post-3507959
