Surging acceleration or something like that...can't explain it.

mine definitely has a surge/hesitation type feel when accelerating mid-throttle. my corolla had a similar feeling (with alot less power), which makes me think its DBW throttle characteristic. it doesn't really bother me that much.

Save the dawn for your dishes!!!
this sounds like the old "trailer hitching surge" if it feels like a trailer is connected and jerking the car every so slightly. mine did that all the time on stock tunes. this is pretty common across the board for the new mustangs. something in the tune. nothing to worry about.

I reset my ecu on saturday, then did about 40 miles on the red key and 100 on the silver. Didnt really notice it at all with the silver key after the reset.
