Got my GT yesterday and so far I haven't felt and vibration or shimmy at all. Actually me and all the friends have commented on how smooth of a ride it is

Good luck. However I think you're really limiting your success. Many of the 10's have the exact same issue and if you think about it, not many people even own 11's yet, subtract from that the small percentage that have this issue and finally subtract the small percentage of owners who have this issue that come to this forum or any mustang forum at all....I'm not sure you're gonna get nearly enough #'s for Ford to even consider issuing a TSB.

A TSB= $$$ lost.

I know the 10s have the same issue but the cause is not the same. Ford already issued a TSB for this exact issue for the 2011 GT-500 and it is releated to the EPAS which the 2010s do not have.

...ok, but I think you're assuming to know the cause. If cars without the EPAS are having the same issue, what leads you to think it's the EPAS? Just because they issued a TSB for the GT500? Different car, different PCM, different engineering... I'm just not sure how you can assume to know for a fact that's the cause. I hope for you guys it is, I'm just playing devils advocate a bit I guess.

The difference is the EPAS equipped cars have a shimmy that changes when taking curves at high speed and also gets much stronger when SPORT mode is on.
