Mr. Jones Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I *hate* the electric steering on my Shelby *and* my Audi. Electric shit indeed. :fuuuu: This car needs an SVT package including the 3.5L ecoboost out of the Taurus as an option. Talk about a segment destroyer then! You always switch to dynamic ? I have mine recoded to always start on dymanic, otherwise the steering is way over-boosted ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011SVT Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 You always switch to dynamic ? I have mine recoded to always start on dynamic, otherwise the steering is way over-boosted ect. Still sucks. 'Road feel' has been numb with both EPS cars I've driven. I understand that, theoretically, there should not be a difference between boosting the steering with a hydraulic pump and doing so with an electric motor but maybe it's the fancy programming you get as a gift with purchase on the electric systems?

RC K9 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I would rock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think it looks good, but only because it reminds me of a car that has similar styling that already looked good when it came out. So, I have some mixed emotions. It looks good, but when did Ford digress into an old Korean design studio? Or is "digress" the wrong word? More like improved. lol Sad. Either way, looks pretty good.

The B8 S4 doesn't have electric power steering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 This car needs an SVT package including the 3.5L ecoboost out of the Taurus as an option. Talk about a segment destroyer then! Yeah...but you know Ford would never do that. It would cannibalize the Taurus SHO. Best hope is the 2.5L turbo 5cyl from the Focus ST in Europe! 300hp+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 It feels much better already. :dumb: lol Dynamic steering sounds pretty tits to me. I think that's an S4 only feature, the A4 I drove I don't think had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
