Accelerometer Thread

I don't know why people are joking about this. There have already been tons of stories about how / when using line lock voids your warranty; I don't know why it would be any different for using Track Apps. Both are specifically deliniated as being for track-use only. It's specifically stated in the warranty papers that using your car at a track will void the warranty (unless it's "non-competitively" but good luck proving that).

It would be incredibly easy to prove that it's non-competitive. Just show them the track calendar. And there's not a chance in hell that just using the track apps will void your warranty. If that was a thing Mustang owners would be in an uproar and Ford wouldn't continue to put Track Apps on the car.

I know we all know this already but I am stating the facts for any newcomers just in case Jimmy confuses them.

And 1.5 lateral G's...que?!

Its not steady state, probably instantaneous and you could get that easily by jerking the wheel. The new Z06 pulls 1.19 continuous around a skidpad which is amazing for a street car. Anything around 1.0g is excellent for a street car IMO.

You can hit 1.5 instantaneous lateral g's pretty easily, even at low speed... just be going 30 mph and slide sideways into a brick wall.

Nah jimmy, this thing will turn on rails at 30! I was thoroughly surprised by the handling.

I'm freaking out with anticipation at getting it... I've called the rail-tracking hotline five times today to see where it is! (still in the same rail yard in Virginia it's been in since yesterday morning...)

Don't worry Jimmy, you won't need it under 2k rpms.

:clap2:

I reset the accelerometer in my '14 GT today and noticed my peak acceleration was 1.5 G's. must have been from my last day drag racing this season. Peak braking was 1.05 G's (probably from the shut down area at the end of the 1/4 mile).


Sent from SYNC in my '14 Mustang GT...

I'm giving it a QC road test right now, making sure everything works including Launch Control and Line Lock. :lol:




btw: NoVA = Northern Virginia

It was stuck in Roanoke, Virginia for a few days, but got delivered to Wilmington, Delaware (where it'll be put on a truck) this morning. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get it before Christmas.

And I thought you were just a Chevy guy.

LMFAO!!!

Grimace - Video these please. This way all the new 6G owners know to set things up the correct way.:cheers:

 

[BULL1TT]

Is there a way to reset the accelerometer numbers? I saw the option to clear the acceleration and braking results but nothing about the accelerometer.

 

[TEXAS BAMF]

This is all I've mustered so far. Haven't pushed it as hard as I could have. And haven't done a solid launch with hot tires.

 

[TEXAS BAMF]

Always records

 

[Grimace427]

... Long story lol

Stories are what make forums go 'round. :cheers:
