How’s the temps? Average (um) speed? Cruising rpm’s? Any new noises that begin to get noticed as time passes?

I’ve been driving for about 3 hours now, averaging 26.4 MPG @ 75-80mph

been using lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control.

Does the lane centering push hard against you? My wife's 22' Expedition seems to fight me sometimes when I drive. It also jerks(moves hard) away from vehicles I pass. Do you notice this? How is the B&O stereo system? Can you send interior pics of the DH finishes, particularly the front and rear seat finishes? Wow 26 MPG! I guess it does not struggle at all with 500hp. But that is much more efficient than I would think!

I don’t think it pulls me, it waits until I practically touching the lane to pull it away.
The B&O to be honest is disappointing, it lacks in every aspect. My 07 BMW Daily has a better factory audio system.

I can take pictures tomorrow when I have time and send them.

Are you getting any extra attention from the public?
How about extra scrutiny by the po-po?

Thanks for the info. Sounds like the lane centering has been upgraded. Or maybe its just a difference in vehicles.

I am not a huge fan of the B&O in my wife's expedition, but thought it might be better in a smaller vehicle. I have factory Bose system in my Infiniti Q50s and it is incredible! I am not expecting that though as not many sound systems can top Bose. I may not even have the stereo on much with all that engine/exhaust sound!

Thanks for the reply and for the pictures if you get time!

No extra attention, it’s pretty low key as it looks like every other Mustang to a civilian. Exhaust is very loud for stock I must say in track mode.

Everything holding steady?

Have a fun trip! Love the view!

Yes no hiccups at all. The car did ti flawlessly, we've crossed the 1,000 mile mark and will be putting it on the dyno this afternoon to get true "broken in" numbers

You won't be able to tell through my mic on my iPhone if its good or not, I believe savage geese did an audio testing on their YT Review of the DH
