Modes and Top Speed

[WERA49]

Does Normal, Sport and Sport Plus lower the top speed?

Is top speed only available in one of the track modes?

No, the modes do not change the top speed.

They do change, though, how quickly you can get there.

100% throttle is 100% throttle in any mode and I understand that the engine map doesn’t change i.e. same power in all modes

I believe shift strategy changes in an auto

Is there roads in florida without a speed limit? Or you want to know before you go to daytona international?

the only stock difference in top speed is the following:

manual cars: 168mph
auto cars: 155mph

Ohhh so manuals ARE faster!?

 

[Oakley]

yes, they quite literally very much are

That's a joke, right?

I thought they're all limited to 155.

IIRC, the top speed limiter for an S550 GT is set at a nominal 155. The tune for the Bullitt upped that to a nominal 163. The Mach 1 bumped that to a nominal 166. Transmission type is not a factor.

This. The only things that change with the various modes are throttle sensitivity and shift logic (for the auto). If you have the optional active suspension and/or exhaust then those are also affected by your mode selection.

Besides that everything else is the same including power, limits, cooling etc.

If you don't have either GT or Brembo brakes (4 or 6 piston fronts) its limited to 121 mph. So non HPP ecoboosts will only do 121 mph.

I believe the GT500 is limited to 186 mph .

i'd say maybe its the mach 1 but ford says its auto goes to 166.

Can you go out and test this theory and report back? A LEO radar reading will suffice as proof.

i looked it up again. says its for the 5.0 and the mach 1. there is no section for the GT but there is a section for the 2.3L. this is for the 5.0. according to the manual sticks aren't electronically limited.
