Can't believe I'm actually saying this, but I just don't care about it. It's ugly and with Ford's current quality, nothing they sell is worth the price right now. Only been able to drive my car once in 2 months because of their BS. Missed most of the summer events.

What is it that’s bothering you about your car?

They still haven't been able to fix this, and it makes the car feel cheap AF. It also sat out in the high 90 degree sun in their lot for over a month and now has squeaks (likely from all the plastic heating up and cooling down so much) and developed some new vibration at highway speeds that wasn't there before, (either the tires from sitting on their lot forever or the new trans output flange they installed): https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/th...eration-feel-it-in-steering-wheel-too.177733/

Cool car.

Glad to see Ford pressing on with improvements.

Right at 2:42

I pointed this out before on a prior video, but those Michelins look like slicks. I see no tread in the close up at 2:42.

Take a look.

and again at 3:12 when discussing the tires. Now I see why they look so familiar. These are the actual tires we saw previously. Same ones.

At 5:12, another close up, they say on the sidewall Sport Cup FR. I have not seen the "FR" on a tire before, so maybe this is something new, a completely track focused tire that is still street legal. Michelin has not really been in that market before (Cup 2R is as close as they have been).

Was a bit disappointed the video didn't present a more detailed accounting of the car's upgrades/evolution..........................."but" guess it's understandable from Ford's perspective given the projects "just released" nature.

@Dragster Thanks for posting the video!

FR = Ford Racing

This was discussed a couple days ago in another thread. 40TW tire

So im sorry your having issues, that really sucks when you just want to enjoy your new car. My question is do you think the clunk is from the anti tinq ring needing grease? Mine had a clunk and it was fixed after they greased the shaft. Anyway I hope you get satisfaction with you vehicle. Goodluck

Thank you. I'm not sure. It's going back in next week for the motor mounts now.
