Dumbest question ever, how do I engage drag mode?

YOU control the drag mode.... Make it happen.

A lot of things are faster than a GT. The 370Z is faster.

Not faster than mine mod for mod....;). Show me tuned 370z running 11’s @ 122 mph on factory tires @ 1500’ elevation. ;).

And NO, you do not have drag mode on your 16 GT manual. Lol. I think you need some help getting your facts/data straight.

I have drag mode but only when I go to certain bars....

Wait... Ohhhhh…. Drag mode in the mustang.. nope.. I don't have it.

The 370Z has better handling, no doubt. All that power doesn't help with exit speed.

Also, I didn't say I had drag mode. I asked what I'm missing. Apparently an A10 transmission and 1.5 seconds on the quarter mile.

Now my monitor is wet from spitting out my water while reading this.

The lie detector determined that was false.

370Z. LOL. That platform should have been scrapped 10 years ago. Great little engine though.

Having a one year generation would not be profitable for the company and hell on aftermarket parts. It's one of the few true roadsters left.

Might I suggest a lightly used several year old Porsche Boxster if one wants a roadster? I've had one, and it was awesome. Less than 20 grand out the door from a Porsche dealer, too. Anyway, I digress. Obviously I didn't do enough research. In hindsight, I think what happened is that the reviews I read where people ran 11's were done with premium coupes, which all have the requisite driving mode switch. So, the articles mentioned needing an automatic and performance pack, which from the standpoint of a premium coupe is true. What was left unsaid is that if you have a base gt, equipment group 301a is needed too. Oh well, no biggie in the overall scheme of things.

Listen, drag mode is not the end all be all for this car and the strip. There are several videos on the boobtube of people running 11.9 with a base 300a.. On street tires nonetheless.. Very few people, drag mode or not, are going to run an 11.9 bone stock with this car...

My best time with street tires and a 2.0 60' was a 12.7 at 113mph...

19" drag radials would shave 0.5 alone.. (or more)

Order a tune from lund and tell him you want the S position on the shifter to shift as drag mode

A base 300A car is lighter and might make up a bit for not having drag mode. Also on street tires, drag mode can be a disadvantage unless the track is VERY sticky. I have never seen a 300A car run 11s at my track unless they were tuned. Not saying that they haven't done it elsewhere. I have run back to back using normal mode vs drag mode on my heavy 401A car and the difference is a little more than 2 tenths with DRs However, to use drag mode, you better have drag radials or the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts will put you in wheelspin and or wheel hop city. The shifts are that brutal.

Tuned 300a cars in which sport mode is the drag mode are probably the quickest of all.

Getting out pretty good and then spinning on the 3/4 shift? Never heard of an auto running a 12.7. 2.0 sixty should produce a lie 12, so should 113 trap

Do you run your car in phoenix? When you do, let me know and we can race same day same time... Otherwise, have a nice day.

That'd be fun to see.
