OK, ford Performance sent me an e-mail: Mike stated that as far as he could find, that going to TRACK mode, then holding the Traction control Button in for approx 8 seconds displays a Stability Control OFF of the DIS in the center of the controls. I can confirm this and it was off, or tamed way...
Will do, I will give feedback, and if for some reason don't yell at me :-)
Please have patience learning, it will come in time. :-) I too found the car to have plenty of pull in second gear and was easily sliding if I wanted to to rotate on sticky tires on a 75 degree day.
Update: I called Ford performance and Mike was initially thinking(and reading as we spoke) that in Track mode that is was most liberal(hence why it felt way better, however I still think I felt something). He then was further reading as said it looking like through the steering wheel that there...

I would appreciate educated answers only so we all can get educated here....
I have autocross for 7 years now into my eighth, four in an S2000, two in a Corvette C6GS. I am competitive winning 1st or second in various classes, in a couple regions over the years. I say this not to...
Wow, I feel fortunate then, I was given free wheels, and am getting royalties. Mind you, this is Darren's sliding scale thing,,,,, so I'm guessing my commissions will be less than expected :doh:
Darren, my Grandfather (long since passing this world) was big time Chevy/Cadillac. My Dad (who died in 1972) was MOPAR, however I KNOW they both would approve in my buying this GT350 :). Years ago, my Dad took for a ride in his buddies new '66 HEMI Satellite, I had HEMI on the brain for a...
I am wanting this to come across in good light, and I know you are messing with Darren, but it is an awesome time for car types, and the fact that U.S. vehicles can clobber high end cars costing 2-3 times as much, is cool. 'MURICA :amen:
This is my first HP Ford product, with the...
I'm guessing my initial hasty weights were a little off based on what Scott and kkakonn have weighed? I ordered a digital scale this morning, so I will try and get better weights with the RE-71-R's when the scale arrives. I'll get a test weight to verify it is close before posting anything. I...
I run all of Steel City regions as I am on the solo board and it is 30 minutes from my house to Pittsburgh International Race Complex,,, we obviously do the autox in a big lot there, nice complex. Steel City is also hosting a national match tour this summer, so will likely try to go to that two...
Ruff quick weights with not being overly concerned were approx 52#'s, about 10#'s less than stock compared to other forum members weights. Another forum member 'voodoo' will likely do a much better breakdown, and he stated that he is getting his wheel/tires today?
Yes, I had Forgeline use Ford...
I plan on autocrossing this car, and want to put some adjustments into it, that will be a starting point for some shake down/getting used to the car events. I have been autocrossing for about 8 years, 6 in an S2000, and 2 in a C6GS, that I anguishingly let go for this car. GS was a great car...
Dude is at work, lol, and car has factory wheels and tires back on it until I get it aligned, oil changed, etc. I will post some pictures, but it might be a little while before there back on car,,, sorry. I may have a few taken in the garage, I'll check and see....? And, thank you :-)
