As others have said it is either the clutch protection or traction control. When you turn off the traction control are you holding it off for 7 seconds?
? I just press the button on my dash and then click ok when it asked me .. Dash shows T/C off ..It will do a burn out no problem , so its off ..

You need to hold the TC button for 5-7 seconds to actually turn it completely off.

Push it once it turns off TC. Hold for 7 seconds it turns off everything including advance track and TC. If you are just clicking it off that is part of the problem you are experiencing.

T/C off, yes. AdvanceTrac not. (AdvanceTrac != 'Track' mode or T/C).

Hold the T/C switch for 5+ seconds, as others have said, to turn off T/C AND AdvanceTrac.

You can still smoke tires with AdvanceTrac on.

See page 144 and on for more info.

Every 2015 Mustang has advanceTrac. It's a standard feature. Why don't you go and try what I (and many others) suggested first :). Push and hold your T/C button for more than 5 seconds. You'll see a notification that AdvanceTrac was turned off (along with the T/C OFF light being on)

Once again, AdvanceTrac != any kind of mode.

I just did this in my 2015 BASE GT.

1. Press Traction control off and it says off.
2. Press Traction control again and it says on
3. Press and HOLD traction control for 7 seconds and it says advance trac off.

You have advance track. You don't have sport in the base gt.

This is most of your launch problem.

EDIT: This also going to create some of the wheel hop you are getting even with the new bushings you have.

Every time. Lawyers wouldn't approve of T/C and ESC being off everytime you start your car.

It literally takes less than 10 seconds.............

We have this crap on new sport bikes .. But I can edit the ECU and remove it ..After I edit it it will be off every time I restart the motor , if I want it back on I can turn it back on , but we leave it off ... I would think these tuner guys could do the same thing ..:shrug:


Thanks to all the guys that are helping me here .. I know i'm a little hard headed:frusty: and i'm having a hard time understanding what i'm being told ..But I really do thank you for your help ..:thumbsup:
