I haven't been much faster than about 100, I did not notice any flutter. I wasn't watching for it, but with this big assed hood, I'm sure I would have noticed it had it been present.

Mine gets some lift at 70 or 75 and it gets really bad when a decent size car goes by in the other direction. I am going to search for the adjustments on the rubber bumpers on the hood.

I miss the 2.73 in my 2011 Mustang. Cruising at highway speeds at 1200 rpm was nice.

The GT I test drove in December had a lot of hood shake. My GT has no hood shake and I've had her up to 90:hail:

The hood's slight movement is not confidence inspiring, but higher speeds than that will not yield a missing hood. :D
That's good because I often wonder. :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this happening. It really looked like the latch was just going to let go on mine today and the hood was going to just fly off. So far from all the threads I've seen there's not really a good fix or explanation that makes me very comfortable.

Initially, I had my hood wobbling at 120 KPH or so. The other day I pushed the car to about 180 KPH, and it was really having a dance party!

I have the 3.55s on my car and it pulls! It's still decent on the highway, and I don't have to shift as much as I do in the 3.73 PP cars. The 3.73 guys can still haul ass in 5th though, by 5th in my car, it's not as strong of a pull.
