What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[ice445]

Either do I haha Normal little skids , a little sideways etc Even a donut is fine if you don’t understeer. That will trigger it pretty quick.
I drove my friends 2018 , manual , whipple and its was no different. Nannie’s hit just when the fun starts. The Nannie’s let you get away with quite a lot , but to a point then they take over.



Maybe I’m wrong … and your 2020 and up is different ?? Maybe a little less intrusive.

what happens when your 3/4 lock at 50mph in yours ???? Or if you come out of a Tee intersection sideways in 2nd to 7000 and click third ???? or drifting and link a few corners ??

another note some track guys might chime in. I’ve read a lot of guys unplug the Nannie’s on the track as they burn through brake pads if they don’t ??

I had two people in the car and I did a few full 360's while sitting at 7K rpm lol. Not saying that I don't have intervention when the system is on, but with the 10 second long press of the button it completely leaves me alone to be retarded.

In autoX I've completely swapped ends too for the same reason, I got full torque output mid corner and screwed myself into a neat 180 lol. Maybe it's because it's a base car with no drive modes?

as I said … donuts , 360 etc no problem. That doesn’t upset the body control module.

base car ? Do you not have drive modes ??

Nope, no drive modes. I haven't found anything that triggers the nannies when advance trac is full off (supposedly).

Just to add a bit more context / another reference point, I drive a euro GT (similar to PP1) with MR, and it's always in sport+ mode.

Without holding the switch / without pulling the plug :

I purposely got it to go 180° to get me out of the supermarket car park (I guess if you surprise it and once you have got the momentum going, there is only so much it can do anyway).

If driven smoothly / correctly, it will let me play enough to need some opposite lock corrections. This is more than just a feeling to the driver - it was obvious to my salesperson when I first test drove a GT, and it's also obvious to people outside of the vehicle (enough to reward me with a seat in the back of a LEO's car, getting lectured about drifting, and being educated about the implications of a 'section 59' ...)

I haven't purposefully gone out of my way to roast the back tyres, do multiple 360°s etc etc so I can't comment on those more extreme circumstances

I've tried to do donuts in mine a couple of times, and every time the nannies shut it down. Mine is a '22 A10 401a with safe and sound. I long press the stability control off as part of my start up procedure every time. Maybe the safe and sound package is the problem!?

(I guess if you surprise it and once you have got the momentum going, there is only so much it can do anyway).

Also, I've heard that the traction control does less, the more you push the gas pedal down.
And that is why "Mustang" is still a verb on the internet.
I know my traction control has let car get wiggly when all I was doing was shifting up to 2nd at part throttle.

...and it's also obvious to people outside of the vehicle (enough to reward me with a seat in the back of a LEO's car, getting lectured about drifting, and being educated about the implications of a 'section 59' ...)

I'm sure that was a lot less funny at the time but today...

Got her tinted. Took me way longer to decide on percentage than it should have, but I'm happy with how it looks.

it looks good, what percentage is that?

 

[vinny89gt]

30% on the sides and back.

It finally warmed up enough to wash the GT. I tried out the Armour Ceramic Spray sealant for the first time. It's super easy to apply, and left the paint super shiny and slippery.

I also decided to take off the Steeda transmission mount insert. I feel like there were no positives from this piece only negatives in form of extra noise and a vibration between 1500-2000 rpm that felt like I was only running on 7 cylinders.

These look so good. Going with 285/35r19. The pictures online don't show the depth and good angles of these wheels. Almost went with the GT350 wheels then had this idea that these probably look great on my car. No regrets

I love those Mach1 HP type wheels, other than the fact they probably take forever to clean lol

Im going to have them ceramic coated, maybe it will help. Also I never clean the car. I leave it at the wash for a good cleaning, go to a cafe, and talk to all the hot women there. Benefits of living in Colombia

I can concur, they are a B!@TC# to clean. And ceramic does help a LOT. I did mine, now they rinse clean much easier with a simple application of cleaner and a strong blast with the pressure washer....

Went and knocked off a few layers of salt at the local touchless DIY car wash, then came home and did a quick hand wash with ONR and followed with Amplify as a drying aide. Roads are still caked with salt so it won’t last long but she’s pretty for now. Also did the undercarriage really good too
