Order guide...the EB and GT has ACC as part of the options, Mach 1 doesn’t. Also, I have ACC and have been looking at interior pics. So far, all the interior pics doesn’t have the ACC buttons in the steering wheel. I hope I’m wrong, because I want it also, but decided it won’t be a deal breaker.
Ford listens to its customers... handling package becoming available with the automatic on the Mach1 is very recent evidence of that.
I hope you’re right. Where the info that the HP will have the Auto? I’ve been away and probably missed the info.
It was in an October publication of a magazine article. Search the Internet and you’ll probably find it. I’ll take a quick look.
Sweet! Thank!
Because cruising around long distances it helps with fatigue and you’ll get to drive longer. Specially in FL where it’s flat as a pancake, that’s the only thing I don’t like about this state.
I'm with 320guy on this -- for long trips, it's a great option that helps avoid stops to stretch. I just rechecked the November ordering guide: "Includes all GT301A content, plus ..." and the GT301A content includes the Safe and Smart package as an option, not as included equipment as in the lesser models. Leaves me wondering if it will even have the anti-collision system. Not happy that such features disappear in the higher performance models.
Apologies if anyone has already mentioned this, the Australian ebrochure lists ACC and rear parking sensors. I would have anticipated UK and Oz to have the same features given both are right hand drive export. Makes me wonder if it’s an error in the Australian brochure. I‘ve become quite used to it on longer trips.
I have to disagree about "excuse to be lazy and inattentive." In my experience, I actually am more attentive with ACC than standard cruise control because I want to minimize the speed up/down by the car, so I'm looking even further ahead to anticipate where others are going to I can stay at set speed. Standard cruise control would require intervention, but less "planning" for a smooth cruise.
Why would you use Normal or ACC on track?
Sounds like exactly what I do (and anyone should do) anytime I’m driving... so congrats, your system made you start driving exactly how you should’ve been the wholemtime
While I don’t like the system and think it creates more hazard than safety, I do think it should be an option. My issue is that I KNOW if it WERE an option, it would be included with Nav or some other bullshit that has nothing to do with it, and I’d be FORCED to have it. It presents issues with track use because some tracks actually won’t allow cars with these types of systems. Sure, it’s only ever active when cruise is on in the Mustang, but adaptive braking and lane keep assist are “always on” options on other cars that cause serious safety hazards on track
