Well that has confirmed what I suspected, which is a real shame. I was set on a manual 2018 until I noticed the new ridiculously tall gear ratios they now run, which would only be made worse with export 3.55 ratio's The Bullet and the possibility of 3.73 was my only hope for a manual...

I am aware of whats std in USA, and it is my hope we get that as well, however a manual performance pack GT in USA gets a torsen 3.73 where all export GT's (which are also PP) get conventional LSD with 3.55. It would appear what is standard running gear in the home market is not necessarily...

The big outstanding question is what will the diff ratio be, the standard for all export GT's is 3.55, considering the super wide ratio's of the new gearbox I would be praying for 3.73

That's a fair comment, having said that I can't think of any disadvantages of ford giving us the option of selecting the suspension mode independently, can anyone else ??? Look at it another way, just how many would voluntarily choose to cover rough back roads in the hardest suspension...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the only real problem with the mag ride, and that is small fact that the ride modes are locked into the drive modes and are not independently selective. If you only drive on smooth roads you will not understated the problem, however if you only ever drive in...

Now all you have to do is find out what diff ratios it will have. No need to assume it will be 3.73, as all export V8 manuals come with a conventional LSD and 3.55

Your comment about wanting independant option on the mag ride has me interested, could you share your thoughts on this point with us

I agree about the manual needing 3.73 ratios. The torsen in the auto and not in the manual (especially as they both run 3.55) doesn't make sense, where did you here the 2018 auto is getting a torsen

Are you sure about the Torsen ?? I think you will find all export cars come with conventional LSD not Torsen

So just to clarify, are you saying if you had the car set in track mode the suspension will automatically go to the firmest mode and cannot be altered to a softer mode ?? If so I thought "my mode" was suppose to enable you to customise everthing

Considering it has the GT350 manifold on it, which is designed to make max hp at 7500, you can bet the Bullet will not make its 480 at 7000rpm it will be higher. It seams common sense that they would raise the red line / rev cut 3 to 400rpm to take full advantage of this increase

I'm surprised no one has a weight figure on these wheels yet ?? Surly one of the main reason for optioning these wheels is the fact that they are forged and therefore supposedly lighter, but how much lighter ?? Ford should supply a weight so people can make a decision

Can you confirm if you have 3.55 or 3.73 final drive ratio
