Guess they put a drag mode on it for no Q@#$#@ing reason then. :doh:
An electronic setting won't make it a drag car. Not even close. Most people who drag race will turn off all electronic assists anyway.

Why? For a garbage review to learn "why yes, you can kick the rear end out all over the place." Chris Harris is a joke of a car reviewer.I want Chris Harris to get his hands on one!
Any car can be a drift car when Chris Harris is testing it.Why? For a garbage review to learn "why yes, you can kick the rear end out all over the place." Chris Harris is a joke of a car reviewer.
Exactly. That's all he does. Nothing special. And looking into some of the cars he has called bad in the past (Miata..not a racecar but certainly not bad) just screams to me that he is an attention whore and nothing more.Any car can be a drift car when Chris Harris is testing it.
I'm no drag racing expert, but I think one of the big things drag racing cars need is front shocks that will extend super easily to enable weight transfer. Rear shock settings make a huge difference as well. With magneride, a drag setting just might not be a joke. It could make a huge difference in the straight line performance of the car.An electronic setting won't make it a drag car. Not even close.

Kudos to Ford for thinking out of the box on this one.
Did you by chance stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night?
You are right that a SRA is more suited for drag racing. The IRS is an obstacle for the GT350 on the strip.The Boss also had a solid rear axle with zero camber and was essentially the same, suspension geometry-wise, as a regular GT. You would have to dial out a lot of the negative rear camber the GT350 is sure to have in order to get the most out of the rear tires. Going from road racing to drag racing will be more difficult for the GT350 than it was for the Boss in my opinion.
Where there's a will, there's a way. People will be drag racing this car regardless of what minor modifications are needed to do so. I highly doubt ford set this car up to be useless on a drag strip, but excellent on a road course. Launch control is also a standard feature on this car.The Boss also had a solid rear axle with zero camber and was essentially the same, suspension geometry-wise, as a regular GT.
