  1. S550 Strange Vibration at Watkins Glen 5/2

    Thanks Blacksheep-1: Yes Neutral is a great idea if and when it re-occurs, to isolate drivetrain issues.
  2. S550 Strange Vibration at Watkins Glen 5/2

    Thanks for the ideas. I plan to rotate tires before I go back in July. I didn't mention it, but another S550 I met at the track told me to check my wheel weights and look for any other large globs of rubber inside the barrel. Both of those inspections didn't reveal any weights missing or...
  3. S550 Strange Vibration at Watkins Glen 5/2

    So I was at Watkins Glen 5/1 and 5/2. On day two, 3rd session, I started getting a very noticeable vibration coming through the chassis. I only had one dry session on Monday, on the long 3.45 mile course. No issues Monday other than me being in a new car, and temps below 50. On day two, the...
  4. Front tire wear

    Bill , thanks for the feedback. Yes the weather was awful May 2 & 3 at WGI.... Temps rarely got above 50, mostly in the low to mid 40's. It rained even had 1/8 inch hail on Monday !!!I may be wrong, but it seems like what I think is excessive inner shoulder wear is likely happening...
  5. Front tire wear

    Glad I found this thread. Just got back from my first track day at Watkins Glen with my 22 Mach 1. OUt of 8 sessions over 2 days, only 4 were actually dry. I only ran 6 out of 8 of them. OEM Cup 2's that came on the car, about 1500 easy street miles before the 4 (25 minute) sessions on...

  8. New member introduction and a question about my new car - 2 days old

    Thanks for all the feedback. Yeah I am moving on.... After looking more closely, at the hood latch, I am not buying the black over the fighter jet gray story from the first local dealer I reached out to, pretty sure 100% sure that the overspray is the gray. The selling dealer, had an even...
  9. New member introduction and a question about my new car - 2 days old

    No it's not the eyes, they're in the trunk. I'll be putting them on myself.... If I could go back and purchase from a different dealer, I would, but we can't change the past. It was a real adventure finding this one within a 100 miles of where I live, just glad to have it !!

    Hey guys thanks very much for the feedback and comments and recommendations. So I called the nearest Ford Dealer early this AM. Service manager was very courteous, I told her I had photos I could email in if that would get me some answers sooner. She took the photos to her lead tech, who...
