All I know is Normal and Track modes.

Starting to think even Track mode isn't enough, want my ride stiffer, more controlled.

...there's a Sport Mode? SPORT+?!

Man, I feel more out of my element the more I post here. I've tried both modes a few times before, but I prefer Normal mode when all is said and done. Less stress on my mind.

Various vendors sell it online including ford performance themselves. I got mine from Levittown Ford Parts. Problem is they are so popular they sell out fast then end up in backorder for months. I got lucky when I got mine.
All you have to do is have a Ford dealer or have an ase licensed mechanic install it to keep the warranty.
Theres really no videos on it except for 1 that I've found.
Do you know if this is applicable to the Bullitts? There are enough different parts I would think it’s not compatible.

What is so stressful being in Sport or track modes?

I guess I've gotten so used to Normal mode that Sport/Track seem impractical for my daily drive which is above five miles going to and back. That said, if I wanted to get more comfortable with Sport/Sport+/Track mode settings, where would be a good place to start practicing to drive with those setups?

I'd like to drive my Bullitt in sport+ mode for the throttle mapping, but unfortunately, not being able to put the damn Magneride in normal independently, it's a deal-breaker for me where I live, so have to drive in normal mode (with exhaust in sport though). Only put it in sport+ mode in the twisties.

If you have any open road areas in your area, and at time frames where there is less traffic on the road. Maybe set up a track day at your nearest race track or road course. You can have a little fun on the open road in sport or track mode with getting to crazy. The snappiness of the throttle is quite enjoyable.

Thank you. And I should clarify, my daily commute is *about* five miles in total, not above.

Perhaps the increased level of attention and finesse that's required to drive smoothly. Jolting forwards as if hit by a meteorite every time you come close to the gas pedal is lovely when you're in the right mood, but can be tiring in everyday traffic, when you're not.

You must have an automatic? Much different experience with a manual

LOL that sport/track is impractical. The first thing I do when I start mine is put it in track mode. Once in a blue moon I'll use sport mode.

Looks like I'm the only one who drive his Mustang in Normal mode and Steering on Comfort setting.

Track mode is the safest to drive in. It provides the best body control/handling, so the steering/braking/acceleration is most controlled.

More control, less stress.

Nope. I do it quite a bit when i'm just commuting or in heavier traffic.

You can create a MyMode setting to set those variables to what you want.
Isn't it great to have so many options?
