Sport Mode

Track Packs do not have the toggle switch at the bottom in the center. We have to go to through the modes on the steering wheel.

This is the real reason so many of us ordered the Tech, instead of the Track. :lol:

Yeah, the only downside is that you burn your hand slightly when you reach for the toggle switch, because it's right above the hot tranny.

Isn't Hot Tranny on the side stage at Coachella this year?

I discovered today that two taps of the - sign also result in the valves opening (goes into track mode)

You can take your hand off the steering wheel to operate your your toggle switch, I'll keep mine on the steering wheel and quickly press Mode + twice. I don't even take my eyes off the road anymore to switch between normal and sport. Have to admit, though, that the toggle switches probably look cool.

It fills out the console. In any case, good to have options is all I'm saying. Also, I can flick the toggle with finger when I shift to 3rd with my right hand still on the shifter - convenient like I implied before. Oh yeah, I don't take my eyes off the road when I shift

At the Track Tour Jim Ownes and staff explained that for federal safety requirements the car has to be able to start with all the safety features engaged everytime the vehicle is started. In order to have the vehicle pass federal inspections the car will default to having all the normal modes and safety features activated. This way if your kid, dealer, or someone else drives your car and wrecks it the liability won't go back to Ford for having a vehicle that didn't have the safety features on. When you get in the car you make the choice to put the car in a mode that limits traction control, removes safety limits, or raises the exhaust above federally approved standards. Therefore if you get a ticket, create too much oversteer, or wreck out in the rain due to taking off the safety features, the choice was one the driver made consciously.

From an enthusiast standpoint Ford gives you the option to make your car as wild as you want. From a liability standpoint Ford puts the owness on you to disable safety features in the event of an accident. Don't look to them to change that for 17 in stock trim.
