I've had my '18 GT PP1 6MT for about 3 weeks 600 miles... I'm surprised to feel this car noticeably go wider in corners (eg cloverleaf on ramps) with a little application of throttle to accelerate mid corner. I presume this is a normal trait of the way GT PP1 is set up with 275/255 back/front and Torsen diff? I've always thought limited slip/locking diffs promoted oversteer, not understeer. I have the mag ride, but wouldn't think that would have anything to do with it. Perhaps when I get more spirited, a heavier application of throttle in turns will give it a more balanced feel when I get to the point of being confident enough to "steer with the gas pedal".... My last rwd contemporary car was a BMW 335i that had an open diff staggered set up (255/225 back/front), which didn't exhibit the push trait. I've got a 1970 'vette convertible with limited slip diff that kicks out the back end with just about any type of throttle application (on all season tires) - I was expecting the Mustang to be more like this but with safety nannies to keep the back in line...And my most previous contemporary car was 2010 TL-SHAWD with the torque vectoring rear end that would actually provide a little oversteer with heavy throttle.
So - normal trait? Does the push change into wild oversteer after a certain line is crossed with the gas pedal? Yeah, I need to find a safe track to find this out for myself, but appreciate the more experienced owner comments before then.
