Yeah I'm wondering if it would be annoying in the same way. Lag time from let-off to hitting the gas again?
Is that new on 18s?

The S550 already have a fuel shut off. Just watch the current fuel cunsumption monitor and take the foot off the accelerator, the green cunsumption bar will go to zero

Drag Mode on the Auto "Track Use Only" (P.15)....Bang Goes the Warranty

Using track mode items in no way voids the warranty. It's Fords way of allowing features that would otherwise be illegal on public roads. If you use them and get a ticket or kill someone, you can't sue Ford.

Almost all cars since the introduction of electronic fuel injection shut off the injectors at no load/high vacuum intervals (coasting in gear down a hill).

surprised this wasn't made known by ford during the "under 4 sec 0-60"

Here you quoted a section of the eBook regarding No-Lift-Shift which is a part of the manual transmissions only.

It was totally relavant, as the "under 4 sec 0-60" was with the new 10 Sp Auto

How is it relevant? Your quoting a statement based on the auto while claiming it has something to do with a manual tech?

First time reading about the grill flaps that open and close. Not gonna lie, I'm not on board with the looks of the 18 but the tech is really making me want one.

The Ecoboost already had the active grille shutters.

Why the EB and not the GT? EB harder to regulate engine temps?

Fuel mileage.

Should be noted that they will be absent on PP cars, as well.

So not only does PP cost $1,000 more for no reason, now you get pay more to lose some technology to go with that suhweet track performance.

Also absent on all export EcoBoosts as well. Which is a good thing because that makes it a lot easier to install a decent intercooler.

Gotta remember that CAFE Standards are fleetwide average, not model specific. As long as they get to rate the Mustang as high as possible, it doesn't really matter if some trims have it and others don't.

That and one less thing to fail later on and make the engine run hot.

Two overdrives? Nooooooo thank you.
