Before we go further, let's recognize and thank Ford for what we anticipate will be a huge improvement thanks to those double ball joints resulting in a virtual pivot that should greatly help Steering Axis Inclination and Scrub Radius. :amen: Back to our regularly scheduled...

:doh: Settled. No semantics. Raj Nair said "... go to the double ball joint front end which gets us that virtual joint. " :clap2: Double Ball Joint (DBJ Part numbers) enables the Virtual Joint (VJ Trigonometry) :thumbsup: One day down the road we'll return to chapter 2 about...

Your welcome.

Caster folks, I can help with that. It is not complicated. Recall A^2 + B^2 = C^2 s550 Front Caster absolutely can be adjusted by aftermarket generic parts in the lower arms which will increase wheel base, and optionally the track width, within tire rub constraints. The s550's separate...

Ditto pants storage where they will not "fly" around under high G-force!

I have not seen if the front subframe change involves a new pan and or k-member to lower the engine. I have not seen if the firewall/bulkhead changes to move the motor back.

It is the Green > Red > Yellow pathway I bet that will be the primary place where wheel hop will happen. The rest is the right-left stuff which typically is not as violent. I hope Ford does all of it correctly. It definitely is not as easy to imagine the force vectors these days.

Hey friends, after much consideration, I am still on the fence about about the PP. I am go-fast crack-pipe bang for the buck kind of person despite not fitting very well in any parts of the "Pyramid of Speed".... To me, anything more than Base GT probably isn't worth it. ... I am just trying...

Great find. As my grandma would say, "if it were a snake it would have bit you!" CD is not quite done yet :-)

We don't need no stinking DCT, we need a double clutching driver. :headbonk: We don't have Double Clutch Transmission (DCT) nor electronic rev-match to help out. Double Clutching Driver (DCD) @ 16 seconds The purpose of DCD is the same as DCT, smooth power transfer to keep the tires...

Let's be clear friends. There is not any Fusion-esque. Evos is Mustang-Esque....

Watch it with the heads up display!

DIB per wife tie-breaker :ford:

I agree pay to play makes cents to pony up for measurable "performance". Right now that is for sure Base GT + PP + Recarro. Time will tell if the electronic tech is a fun factor versus faster performance.

@ 3m 10 seconds what is he saying about more toggle switches allow for customizing if we don't like the way Ford programmed it? I know, there are more toggles switches, one has a steering wheel icon, and the other says MODE, but is it possible that we can fully customize the electronic...

Nice work sequencing those. They are in fact LED tails! @ 5:50 Per Moray Callum - Ford - Executive Design Director [ame] And the LED fins up front are officially called Gills. LED, yay, I can sleep now :-)

I was afraid of that. Hopefully Ford will fix that between now and production.

I'd like to read about PP having launch control because what I see in the LA base GT performance pack car is a missing "MODE" button/toggle. And that is just it, I'm trying to figure out how a base PP car can have all the "tech" stuff related to throttle and brake performance.

Good eye. That does not look like it is going to direct cold air to the inboard side of the rotor.

Nope, The 4th "MODE" toggle/button doesn't exist in the LA base GT PP non-tech package car. I'm at a loss how to regain that computer programming without taking the tech package plunge.
