2018 Ford Mustang Gt Base Auto(Drag Mode)

nrc · Feb 7, 2018

In the eSourcebook that likeaboss posted it's mentioned in the Drive Modes section and the A10 section.

Selectable Drive Modes

Drag – Provides a performance driving experience tailored to driving on a drag strip. The engine responds directly to your inputs, and if your vehicle is equipped with active valve performance exhaust, it takes on a more powerful tone. This mode is not intended for public roads. If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive dampers, the setting is optimized for straight line maximum acceleration. Selectable steering defaults to Sport but can be changed using the steering button

10-speed Automatic Transmission with SelectShift Capability

Drag mode
‒ Designed to produce maximum acceleration
‒ Shifts closer to redline, removes inertia phase in shifting and increases clutch pressure for extra “push"
‒ Not intended for cold, wet or slippery conditions; see owner's manual for more information
‒ Track use only

So yes, it benefits from Magnaride but it has other functions as well.

So, it's a "sport" mode.

So besides the active dapening part which I would assume softens the rear, basically drag does jack shit that you couldn't do with a non magride base manually.

Drag mode in the A10 provides the following:

Shifts closer to redline, removes inertia phase in shifting and increases clutch pressure for extra “push"

This is the equivalent to power shifting a manual tranny.

I think the after market tuners will be able to do that with any 2018 A10 Trans,just like they do in the 2017 six speed auto.

Any way to add Drag mode to a 300A car without voiding the warranty? Will a gauge cluster swap do it?

Yes I just did the sync 3 swap and enabled the drive modes

Did you do both the instrument gauge cluster and the center console? Dealership or aftermarket?

Just the center console
All ford OEM parts and I did the install.
Bought from Harness by Hextall and they did the coding with FORScan

Awesome. I sent Hextall an email. I'm hoping I can find a sync 3 setup at a salvage yard and get all the pieces I need for the swap.

If you really want drag mode just don’t be a cheap ass lol

Thanks for your helpful quote for the OP. Maybe he is trying to stay in his budget. Fuck off.
