That is exactly how it did work on the S550 but regulations change
I should have pulled the trigger on the Match1 then. I was really really close at the time, but finally put my eyes on a Cayman.

Bad decision, just 2 seats becomes a problem when you have >1 kids wanting to have a ride with you, easy maths...

Not the best place in the world to be, but rear somesortofkindaseats of the Mustang help making everybody happy.

Oh man, let's just say the retardosphere is very large.

Very large.
'let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight' - Don Henley; h/t to Bill Shakespeare.
First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.

Which reminds me.
A bunch of lawyers were on a charter fishing trip. One hooks a big bluefin and gets it to the boat. Another one grabs the gaff and hooks the fish, there's blood everywhere and sharks are closing in. The Tuna lunges and drags the lawyer in. The boat crew are shocked thinking he's a goner.
Then one shark approaches the guy in the water, lifts him with his nose and pushes him back to the boat.
The crew are gobsmacked. One says WTF was that? Never seen that in my life.
One of the lawyers turns to him and says "professional courtesy".

Tyre pressures.

Whilst not the best (compared to say Lotus) the steering is not that bad! I have certainly driven much worse, VW group cars come to mind there.

Funny how politicians are 'deeply retarded' when they do things you don't like, of course other people will hold a different view! I always turn off Lane Assist but it doesn't cause me angst, I just turn it off.
The numb steering feel of the S650 is well documented. Its not the tire pressure lol. Although better tires do help. I still love the car but his assessment isnt wrong.

This my first car that has this feature.
I turned off after it grabed my wheel on the test drive.

Just get both. I bleed Ford Blue, but my Cayman is one of the most fun cars I've ever owned.

The Cayman had to leave. Being a "family man" doesn't mix very well with 2-door cars, and it sometimes means making sacrifices as well.

One day I would love to get my hands on another one, as soon as the kids are old enough, but I already have 5 cars and 2 bikes in the garage... Yes, someone will have to leave, maybe this weird-steering-mustang :)

It is better than the S550 but as I said above it is a GT car not a sports car.

LOL - tyre pressure makes a significant difference if way too high or too low as some cars get delivered. Some have been delivered at 40psi.

Careful. Impugning the 6th gen will lead the faithful to hunt you down and burn you at the stake as a heretic. Yes, I know it's supposed to be a 7th gen forum, but see what happens when you don't walk those S550 hating comments criticisms back :cool:

I suppose 'feel' is a subjective term that works much like palate. Perception varies person to person. I find the steering feel in the HP Dark Horse quite communicative.

I made the mistake of posting on the 6th gen site with my 7th gen avatar - they tried to rip me a new arsehole for suggesting a 7th gen could be in any way better! Having had both I do feel equipped to express a valid opinion, although obviously somebody who has bever had a Mustang and drives a Corvette knows much better!

Agree - feel is fine, nothing special compared to say a Lotus but completely fine for a GT
