So a couple weeks ago I rented a 2016 Mustang EB while in Florida. I daily drive a 2015 Mustang EB and I immediately noticed how much better the steering feel was in the newer car. My car is a Premium with the PP and the one I rented was a premium with 18" wheels.

The comparison is that the steering in my car, while perfectly acceptable, is significantly lighter and a little less communicative than in the 2016 I drove. So I was wondering if there is a known difference in the programming between the 2 years and if so can the earlier car be flashed up to the newer program.

I checked with the service department at my local dealership and they didn't find anything on the computer but that doesn't necessarily mean they are the same either.

Thoughts?

The EB has quite a bit less weight on the front wheels than your GT.

GT?



OP was the difference noticeable across the various drive modes?

Yes. I tried all the modes and it felt better in every mode than mine does in any mode. It had more weight to it. Not in a heavy way but in a better way. As if you were in more direct contact with the tires. I want that.
