Not to get off-topic here, but is there a "racing" reason to have such a big e-brake like these have? I say this because my Fusion has an electric e-brake and has a very minimalistic switch that I think would really clean up the console area on these Mustangs.

As you can tell, I don't race so I fully expect to get all kinds of trash talk from the loyalists who know better!

Electronic parking brakes are extremely finicky and often unreliable. Hopefully the mechanical parking brake will never die. And as for the size, just make them easier to use -- leverage n stuff.

I had one on my S4, it was annoying as hell. I am all for the mechanical one

No mention of MagneRide being optional and hood and fenders are aluminum!

Lol, I was not aware as I've not been shopping the other S500s.

Understood but, I was referring specifically to the article linked.

MagneRide is a must have option to get on the GT350. I have this option on both my C7 (Mag Ride) and Porsche (equivalent to PASM)... so when you go from Touring or Comfort to Sport or Track mode, it's like night & day...Jekyll & Hyde. It's always working seamlessly to achieve the best balance, damping, and handling. Worth it, IMO.

The issue is really more around those of you getting a GT350 for some form of competition. MRC is not legal in many (any?) series. I agree it sounds like a must have for a road car, but may be a good idea to have it as an option for those that want to race their cars.

so what, all race teams will need to modify their car to conform, roll cages, removal of license plate brackets, race seat (no need for memory options), get rid of the subwoofer, upgrade brake fluids, pads, maybe change sizes, new wheels, tires, put fancy stickers on it, remove seats, remove carpet, etc. etc. so i guess they can probably bolt in some standard shocks

the real question is does the car stay somewhat true to its origins on the race track or is it only the shape they have in common.
