I ended up getting clutch assembly replaced (with OEM clutch) at dealership. Ford extended warranty did not cover. Problem has since resolved. I didn't get an answer as to what the problem was, but I suspect either pressure plate or throw-out bearing rather than clutch itself.

car is back from dealership. They replaced a rear wheel bearing assembly and that fixed the warning lights for AdvanceTrac / ABS, etc. This was covered under Ford extended warranty. They also bled the clutch / brake system and said that should work. The previous year I had the brake fluid...

my car ended up at dealership. Dashboard lit up with AdvanceTrac, ABS, what looked like an Airbag icon, and a Wrench. Cruise control stopped working and the power steering is different. So we will see what they say about the clutch issue as well.

clutch peddle gets heavy after extended driving on freeway. Pushing the clutch peddle a few times gets it back to normal but it can get heavy again. I had the brake fluid changed last year. Any chance that is related ?

China prefers 2-cycle engines and so they get too much smog. Even their high performance cars are fitted with supercharged 2-cycle engines.

my guess is the dampening material won't help much with bass frequencies. Some people have stronger ears than others. If that isn't you, then get regular chambered mufflers or ear muffs.

Possible but they can make up for it by updating the engine to 5.2L Ecoboost and gain another 100 hp

Heat sensitive doesn't sound good. Already looking like they will have to go back to selling the car with the Tremec manual and reduce $10k off the MSRP in order to compete with ZL1

Ford monitors this forum and those members with many postings on important topics such as whether to buy 87 vs 93 octane gasoline get priority on their GT500 orders.

That was made up. I forgot the Disclaimer : for entertainment purposes

You can still keep the car forever if 87 causes too much pre-ignition and the car requires a new short block. :headbang: JK. I don't have an opinion on 87 / 93.

87 octane is fine. Ford added the extra set of knock sensors to support superchargers.

I had to google search Christiania and it appears they prefer weed, bicycles, and buses to cars. 30 mph speed limit is too fast if there is a lot of stoners out after dark dashing across the street dressed in black and gray. I would avoid driving on that road.

pedestrian boozing on a Friday. That looks like a complicated segment of road and the speed limit should be set to around 15-20 mph. Undivided road, bus lanes, and a lot of people and bicycles. In addition to the pedestrian, if that bus started into a left turn, it would have been a bad day...

This seems like the band clamp is doing most of the work to maintain alignment. Is there some reason Corsa is sticking to this design? The 2014 version looks like less of a hassle.
