At 14:20 he discusses track use and the cooling, just a little.

Yup, the RS, GT-500, BOSS302, Track Pack GTs, GT, and GT-350/R all take 5W50.
Wait, is he complaining that the suspension is too stiff... on what is supposed to be a sports car?
LoL @0:19 I tought that it has 125ccm two stroke engine
I wouldn't use the Motorcraft 5w50 though , all the reports i have seen on it show it shears BADLY , i'd be running something like Redline 0w40 or M1 5W50, Maybe even 15w50

Being the only 4cyl (all be it Turbo) in that esteemed group, i thought it might have been 5W30.

He said it was over-dampened. Maybe it is.

If I heard correctly he still had the suspension on "sport" mode while on the street. Would like to hear about the street setting felt.

But that wouldn't give him anything to complain about...

I found out, it does indeed use fake sounds emitted from the cabin speakers. I heard it in the video which prompted me to ask and vaguely remembered it mentioned in the past.
As heard in the video, the fake sound "symposer" is obvious and bad. Why should anyone expect a turbo 4 with 4-3-1 unequal length "virtual" exhaust manifold sound like an resonance tuned NA I4?
