OK, I couldn't see all the tread. That's what I meant by "as far as I can see".
I'd get an alignment, possibly camber and/or toe is out of spec.
Does my dealership just not know thats its a common thing? We're kinda in rural PA. Only ever seen 2 new mustangs there and I got one

Camber won't were like that unless its very agressive (like -2 or more) or your ripping around the track on a regular basis.

That looks like toe to me, but I can't be sure until I see the whole tire.
I'll make another post tomorrow showing the whole tire and alignment sheet i got. Saying it's all perfect. Told me nothing had to be changed

One thing I found, alignment shops that do performance/race cars seem to be more creative with alignment specs. More experienced.

Yes, absolutely. I have found the driving and handling on my 700a limitless. Would highly recommend this to everyone.
The factory camber is pretty conservative already. You just completely neutered an 80k track car. Congratulations.

Its not a 80k track car, its a 80k grocery getter with style.
The Dark Horse suspension, and cooling is designed specifically for track use out of the box. The fact that you took a dedicated track car and intentionally reduced its camber to zero tells me you know nothing about suspension or handling. You wouldn't do that to Nissan Altima, let alone an 80k performance car.

I know more than many will ever know. I purchased the exact car to meet my needs.

Indeed - if you don't want to track the car just get the GT. Mind you the GT still wears the inside shoulders!

The GT was not even in consideration. The DH looks, performance and quality is far superior in my eyes.
Looks - I personally prefer the GT which is why I bought one, Performance - no real difference on the road, quality - It's the same car built in the same factory by the same people.

Not to disparage your DH, it's a great car and I had a M1 before so I know the differences. But the difference in performance between a DH and GT is all handling, suspension, and cooling. The 14 extra HP wont be noticed by any street driver. Also not sure what you mean by quality, as they both have the same engine, interiors, and parts made by Ford.

While awaiting my DH, the dealer local got a yellow GT, automatic. Visited the car, looked all over it and evaluated, and decided at that time, the GT was not for me. Believing the GT and DH are the same is like believing the Ford edge and Lincoln MKX are the same car. Same platform, but so many improvements. Same applies to the GT and DH.
