I don't believe that there's any dust in your garage to gather.

On topic though, this car is a pig, GVWR is over 3,600 lbs.  After doing the math Asstuna and I realized that the power to weight ratio is the same as Ginger.

Whoa, anger. What did I miss?
If the sea was vodka, and I was a duck.
I would swim to the bottom, and drink my way up.
But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.
If you're having forum problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but your post ain't one.

Despite the hint of anger Adam was actually not holding back in advice on how to make the car faster.

Get a rear engine mount.

For itshays and giggle, mount a GoPro to watch how much your engine pitches about with the OEM mount.

Rear mount needs to be stock for HS.

It's probably worth replacing with another OE part anyway. Fords, Volvos and Mazdas of that platform chew up motor mounts like they're going out of style.

No need to pull it apart. It's a Ford so it does the falling apart for you.

The suspension geometry on the front is interesting, makes it difficult to get any adjustment.  Every time I came up with an idea for adjustment, it was a no cannot do that in street/stock.

The only way to get camber in the front is by using an eccentric lower ball joint.  At least at the brief glance I had.

Also, there is not much room for activities under the hood of that thing!

Camber tops are the only real way to get camber in the front. That most likely disqualifies you from stock.
