[QUOTE="Cobra'03, post: 93727, member: 3013"] P51: You state your points well. I do not think Ford is umique in the "first-year" field R&D. Porsche, BMW, etc all have early glitches. Cars are so complex that if they sorted out everything, they would either get o market too late, or the cost to the consumer would out-price the market. We will see. RE: handling. One other thing to consider is that engineering talent at SVT (and other mfrs) varies significantly from year to year - sometimes a young prodigy can see something an elder misses, or an elder has an approach pop-in that offers a real advantage. Spring rate and shock compression/rebound affect handling tremendously. And perhaps Bilstein has not been sitting on its tail either. I think part of the "why not more than .5?" is traction limited. These torque monsters can overwhelm the tires off idle! Here is another pic of the "new axle": [/QUOTE]
