Mach 1 Drive Modes

[Madtel4]

An A1080R in drag mode will be close to 11.6 on a prepped drag strip I think. I wish some one with an auto would get some time slips out.

It’s going to be hard to out run that car. It’s part of the German 4 door super car class and they are very very fast. They make a version of it that makes over 600 hp and has a top speed limited to 202 mph. It also cost 130k just to look at one and the high test end is close to 200k. It’s a serious performance car.

Well for 1/4 the price difference you could whipple that audio back to Germany.

This is very true…

Exactly why I've told Zack I want one. And, why I told the shop fixing the hail damage, no emblems, no decals. Kind of wish it didn't have orange rotors and that big a**ed whale tail.

So I've got about 1600 miles on my Mach now and I'm starting to play more with the drive modes.
I've never had an A10 before, came from a 15GT manual premium with drive modes as well.
I'm noticing that Track mode quiets down the exhaust and does not seem as responsive as Sport+ mode with track exhaust mode on, anyone else notice this?
Also, I noticed that sport+ mode is not as good as drag mode when racing someone at a stop light, which makes sense... lol
Wife and I were dressed up heading to a fancy dinner Sat night and a guy and his girl pulled up to the light with an Audi S8. I was in sport mode as usual. we raced 2 times ... he got me by 2 car lengths both times. I was reeling him in but no room on public roads... I was pissed!
So Sunday I tried drag mode on my own and I think this would of made a difference for sure.
Thoughts?

I just noticed the same thing tonight, I'm still breaking in the engine so after that, I'll see if Track mode has any more pep further up the band.

they are still all very slow compared to a tesla s plaid , 4 door family car sedan, 0-60 mph in 1.99 sec, quarter mile 9.3, but 121K, so.......... just sayin. and its made in the USA

It’s weird right

Why are you comparing the Mach 1 to a Tesla ? They are totally different vehicles. Totally different purposes. IMHO, I wouldn't own a Tesla. Until one can go 1,500 miles without needing to stop and recharge, to me where I live, it is simply an over priced commuter car. YMMV

Put it in drag hold the TC switch for 7-10s(to turn advance-trac off), keep it in D (for A10) then do the pull! If you have traction , it is a big difference in how the car pulls

I raced a 2017 S8 in my GT the guy and his wife seemed to be impressed as they gave me a thumbs up, was a rolling race though.

If doing rolling race I don't thin the drag mode as such is giving any benefits over track

Umm I don’t think it would matter which drive mode. An S8 is a 560+ hp car that produces almost 600 ft lbs of torque though all 4 wheels around 3000 rpm. That car turns a 3.8 0-60 and high 11’s in the quarter. It’s a very fast damn car.

all true...until you pick your race, get him on the freeway and drop to third gear.

they have too much weight and drivetrain to move around at speed...i walked a blacked out one last week, but am well aware he would destroy me at the light

Yes from light to light the S8 is an animal. They have an S Plus. Watch out for that one. It’s a 200+ mph car and it really moves.

Very! Are you able to do some pulls in Track mode on yours? If so, is it weak the whole time?

 

[docday64]

I have only had mine for a month so haven't learned all of the specifics about the modes plus the option of putting the shifter on the A10 into "S". I did watch a Steeda video where they explained all of the differences and included video of the dampers in the exhaust changing positions. Very informative video, personally I need to watch a couple more times and take notes, there is a lot to learn about these cars, will try and post a link.

 

[coastalref]

I found the sport+ to be louder than track mode also...I was wondering the same thing
