Modes?
There is a philosophy that informs my decisions. Most important I want the car's systems to get out of my way. I don't appreciate the car's many computers attempting to second guess my desires. I see my Mustang doesn't have as many modes as some do. No magnaride, or transmission settings, or exhaust volume. That's just fine.
I want the accelerator to go from 0 to 460 hp, mediated only by a clutch that I control.
I want the steering to be the quickest and most communicative that it can safely be, which is generally the heaviest setting. And I want the steering angle to have a predictable relationship between steering wheel and road wheel.
Gauges must be clear and accurate, exhaust should be loud enough to act as audible feedback, and the brakes must respond linearly to inputs.
So: active stability and TC are usually switched off unless I forget to, steering is set on the heaviest mode, center display is showing the gauge page (engine temps, a/f ratio, sometimes tire temp, and so on).
This way I can see when the oil is hot enough and can start hitting redline.
If traction control and torque control intervene how can you do a burnout? Answer me that!
