Part of the reason I sold my 2016 S550 GT was the fidgety ride on our roads. I have a lot of B road driving near to me in Essex. Those tend to be more fun because less traffic. But the road surface imperfections unsettled the car on bends. That's why I would go for the Magneride, and why I now...
Good job! :clap: I wish I had stuck with my 5.0 GT from 2016.
I miss it, which is why I have a Mach1 on order. But that's hardly the bargain that the original one was.

Could be the gearbox.
Maybe for a limited run model like the Mach 1 the rules are slightly different. Anyway, I would not say the Mach 1 was quieter than a GT, generally speaking! :cool:

I'm new here - sort of. I had a 2016 GT manual coupe which I sold three years ago (regrets) and now I have a speculative order on a Mach 1 manual.
Apologies if someone has said this already...the Ford UK configurator clearly shows that new GT's are auto only, but you can still spec a Mach 1 as...
I have a Ford official spec confirmation doc which says:
Standard features:
• 5.0L V8 developing 459PS, manual transmission only
• Metallic Paint (Dark Highland Green or Shadow Black)
• 19” Unique Bullitt™ High-gloss Black-finish 5-spoke Alloy Wheels
• Recaro Leather Seats with Green...
I agree although he really didn't figure out the launch control did he? :doh: Every time he dropped the clutch it was from about 1500 rpm!

The other one with 0-120 mph was no better - forgot...
