  • In this short VLOG we discuss the best way to launch your 2015-18 Mustang GT.
    In the base model cars, double tap the traction control button twice to put AdvanceTrac into sport mode. This allows the optimal traction off the line. In premium cars put the car in Sport + mode, and turn the traction control off. This will be the same effect.

    Nice! You just taught me something about my 5.0.👍🏾
    What I found is that you have to hold for 7secs or double tap, then press the Trac control button to engage it.
    Thanks bro. I'll see if I can get some better times. I ran 12.6 on street tires, and 0-60 4.7 spinning in second and third.

    What happens, I believe, when you do the double-tap, is stability control and traction control both remain on, but are reduced, and won’t fight you much when running the car near it’s limits.

    Its funny how people think traction control is some knid of magic that keeps the tires from spinning The "magic" is that the TC is cutting power and applying the brakes on take-off - Thats why it's not spinning. Its not magic and it slows the car down.

    Thank you for the information! I'll give it a try next time I get to do a 0-60 launch. Best I've been able to do was 4.8 seconds. What's your final drive gear ratio?

      You can do it stock if you have traction. I was on street tires back then on a crappy road so I didn’t have traction at all lol

    This info is in my 2019 GT manual, and also states that this 'sport mode' in GT's without the 'drive mode toggle switches' is equivalent to 'track mode' on GT's with the selectable drive modes. I'm not sure if that's correct but that's how it's written. 😊🤔

      JCTiggs I have a 2019 mustang gt auto with performance package 1.
      I know the premium has drag mode on the autos.
      Would this be the equivalent to the drag mode?
      Thanks!

    My history says 9.88 at 138. I have ran a best of 10.05 at 139 at my local drag strip so it is pretty close. This is on street tires because I still have a stock mt 82.

    Hold the brake. Push and hold the TC button for about 6-10 seconds it turns TC and advance trac off completely. This is old news. This feature has been in the Mustang sense 2010

    • @cbr5504
      @cbr5504 Před 5 lety +5

      Mustang Guru that’s a whole different feature. This puts the car in sport mode, the method you’re talking about turns off everything which is better for burnouts, drifting etc

      aran amanj no not really. It does however in a way make acceleration happen a bit fast because when you spin it doesn’t bog the car.

    What mode do you guys recommend driving in around town? It feels like Sport + refs down hard vs Normal. On the flip side, in the 2019 GT Premium PP1, it sounds better but feels jerky.

    The secret mode is called G for Gay. You can only get this mode if you buy an automatic. But be warned because when buying an auto your car will weigh far more considering you’ll have a dude in the passenger seat and not a girl.
