So randy says the brakes on 500 are squishy, odd i never felt that. But he raves about zle brakes.. interesting
Randy never mentions dull steering (because its not)..
CnD mentions nothing about 500 brakes, only steering, odd..yet the zle subpar brakes are mentioned..along with just how crappy the interior is..
Odd that so many REAL people are enthusiastic about the 500, with nothing bad to say..and its DESTROYING the competition.. yet the magazines are throwing hail maker excuses out..
So odd, its its almost like they have an agenda
Thomas states at 8:54 that the Mustang GT steering is "crap" as has Jason. He (Thomas) also then follows that by saying that the GT500 is as good as or better than the Camaro's. And later on states that that is saying something. So clearly something DID change between the GT and the GT500 which is why Randy did not mention it. But I can absolutely tell a WORLD of difference between my 18 GT and 19SS.absolutely seconded.
In my case I'm comparing the Goodyear Supercar 3 (SS/1LE) vs PS4S (GT PP1) so tires are definitely a factor as is suspension. With the Camaro you KNOW what it's doing. With the Mustang you HOPE it'll do what you're asking of it. The various upgrades to the GT may bring things a lot closer. TBD
I've said it before, GM chassis (and body controller programmers) are clearly better than Ford's - which may be a factor of corporate "priorities" - GM chooses to spend the time and money necessary to get good results, but Ford stops when it's close enough. I have no evidence of the assertion but you sure can tell the difference.
Multimatic does a LOT of work with Ford so I'm rather surprised the CFTP doesn't come with their kit. I don't see why it would be so difficult to combine MR with spool valve to dynamically alter the viscosity of the fluid and thus tame the "harsh for street use" criticism leveled at the ZLE. Or for that matter why not work with JRi/Cortex, Penske, or Ohlins to do something similar - as a 'ford performance' option package perhaps?
