I have read the information on the 5 driving modes for our cars, but I still have a question on the exhaust. The driving modes below mention that Sport, Track and Drag are "louder" than Normal, but they do not say if any of them are louder than each other. (I have a 2018, if that matters)
Normal – This is the default mode and all of the features are set where Ford finds best for daily driving use.
Sport – This mode is for spirited on-road driving. The throttle input is sharpened, traction and stability control remain on, the dampers stiffen the ride a bit for improved handling, the steering system requires more driver input, the exhaust gets louder and launch control is available for use.
Weather – This mode is designed for situations where the new Shelby GT350 Mustang gets caught in the rain. The throttle input is softened, traction/stability control remains on, the dampers, steering, and exhaust are all in their normal modes and launch control is disabled.
Track – This mode is designed for use on a road course, and this is the setting that yields the greatest overall performance from the new Shelby Mustang. Throttle input remains normal, but the traction/stability controls are adjusted to have almost no input, the dampers shift into the stiffest possible setting, sport steering mode is engaged, the exhaust gets louder and launches control remains available.
Drag – Finally, this mode is intended to make the new Shelby GT350 Mustang a quarter-mile monster. Throttle response is sharpened, traction/stability remains on (as they work with the launch control system), the dampers adjust to drag mode for the best possible front-to-rear weight transfer, the steering system remains normal, the exhaust goes to the louder setting and launches control is automatically enabled.
1. Do we only have two exhaust mode settings or does track/drag mode make it louder? (open it up further or sooner?)
2. Does the fake exhaust sound from the radio work when the radio is off?
I picked up the Forscan software and I plan to turn off the fake noise, but I am wondering if I can tell how much quieter it will be in Normal mode by simply turning off my radio. If not, how are they sending the sound to the radio if it is off or the volume is down all the way?
