I would say the car is pretty low however this seems a bit more like an optical illusion caused by the person taking the picture being slightly lower than the actual rise the car is traveling over.

Unless all your tyres are normally flat bottomed, I think it's an optical illusion based on the position of the camera and the hump in the road

@Galvez1978 - Just an observation, how does your bonnet / hood normally sit ?

If its good when stationary, have you seen how much the 155 mph wind is tugging at it, especially on the drivers side ?

Yes! When i drive at high speed the hood is going up! How can i fix it?? Here in Spain nothing knows how fix it.

I think it's just a random 'mustang thing'

Some seem to do it more than others - some even report it at normal highway speeds.

Some have removed the rubber weather stripping (from the rear), some have added more vents, some have added hood pins etc etc

If you look at the photo you may want to ask a more concerning question...Is it normal to have flat tires, riding on my rims? Optical illusion.

Be careful; if you remove that weather stripping you might get some hood shake. I have an aftermarket GT500 hood and it was shaking a fair bit until I realized the body shop didn't take the rubber off my stock hood and apply it to the new one. Once I did that it settled down.

Yeah, take a look at the hood.

However, it's bad ass to see a M1 tearing it up in Spain. Keep it up!

I don't know who is the weather strippings, have you got a picture, and were they are?

Am out of town so not near my Mustang right now. It is the rubber strip that runs across almost the full width of the hood up near the top of the hood where your front windshield is. It does not run straight across but has a few bends in it.

Yes.

I would be more worried about that hood gap, it almost seems like it's not closed all the way or flexing alot.

could be why the GT500 has hood pins latches
