Heck my 5.4 loaded up gets better than that.

Didn't notice it until you mentioned it. I don't see it either.

why would you want softer? Softer just means more clutch overlap, meaning more clutch wear.....

Had the cruise set on 70, outside of Athens on a divided 4 lane. Topped a hill, light rain and right there in front of me is Farmer John running all of 35 mph. I served to the other lane and missed him. I was lucky that I did not start a skid and lucky there was no one coming up in that lane. It was all reaction, no time to think. People should not drive 35 in a 70 mph zone.
