255,000 miles on my '85 RX-7 GSL-SE when I donated it to charity. original 13b rotary engine still running strong to 7000 rpm but everything else in that car was worn out by then.
the 2015 Mustangs all have a 16:1 steering ratio

a Focus ST has a variable rack that starts out at 14.7:1 and quickens to 10:1 as you get further away from center...
my hunch says that an x-pipe benefit is specific to the cross-plane firing order and that a flat-plane firing order does better with a simple dual exhaust.
anyone know for sure?
high performance brake pads contain more metal which will create more vibration, especially when the brakes are cold.
If it really bothers you, there are a few methods to mitigate the noise including dampening paste. Or you can go to some cheap organic pads like most non-high-performance...
the GT350 front track is over an inch wider than the GT. you will need to account for that with wheel spacers or a different offset on the front wheels. What that does to the stresses on your wheel bearings is anyone's guess.
Indeed. The GT500 will probably be more aimed at the automatic-needing folks.
Even if a DCT-type transmission is faster, there is something rather emasculating about a flappy-paddle shifter.
A Grand Touring V8 and a Racing V8 have different priorities for the areas of compromise.
That doesn't mean that some things learned developing Voodoo will not or have not already made it into the Coyote.
I'm in for up to $65k out-the-door. I don't care how fast it is or what its specs are at this point. I just want to hear that motor sing to redline over and over. FPC FTW.
