RE: 2013 Mustang V6 Convertible is in the CF garage
Well, that's just about a wrap folks. It gets picked up tonight at 6 - they needed it back a bit early. We took it out for a top down blast last night and get this, there were 4 Mustangs pulled up to the same stoplight. It's been great to drive this thing.

Our photo shoot is today, but there's rain in the forecast, so we may have some soggy pictures, but as the saying goes, everyone complains about the weather and nobody does anything about it....

One thing I've noticed about the steering is it's a bit 'dead'. Hard to describe, but C & D made the observation in their latest issue and I have to agree, it's smooth, it's 100% accurate, but it just feels a bit light and lifeless to me. I'm used to the GP which has very heavy steering, and the G8 which is lighter but communicates too much irrelevant information. This one is somewhere in the middle. Not bad by any stretch, but could use a bit more weight and feel. How's that for vague....idk

1st - 4.23
2nd - 2.53
3rd - 1.66
4th - 1.23
5th - 1.00
6th - .70

Refer to this thread for the answer - there is only one set of ratios and the final drive is what changes, so each of those ratios is in relation to the final drive:

Thanks to Rouge who, as always, saves the day with the technical knowledge we need!
