Well done.

Hopefully...

totally agree.... with all the sensors we have in performance cars, you'd think this would be standard equipment...

^^ A lot of us diesel enthusiasts have been wanting and expecting EGT, boost and trans temp gauges as stock equipment and its the same answer every time.

Auto makers prefer to keep customers in the dark when it comes to monitoring their engines. That last thing they want is a bunch of warranty work jobs stemming from all these new gauge readings. I am shocked that Ford is doing this and it may be short lived for the reasons I mentioned before.

I'm surprised they actually put an accelerometer and acceleration performance measuring tool on a production car! I know "Track use only" lights up but come on, you know the first thing people are going to do is find a back road and test, test, test.

Probably why they use it, if some kid driving his dads GT500 decides to use it on the road and crashes Ford has their ass covered.

The Challengers have been doing this.

That won't stop some idiot from wrecking his car and suing.

The Mustang Boss' red key is "track only" and you saw what a big stink people made about that.

Of of course it won't but in the land of suing without reason I guess that is to be expected. For god sakes someone put a finger in chili and Wendy's and tried to get away with it.

Yup my car is a 07 and has the timers...

Huggerorange73 · 01-29-2012, 11:14 PM

Impressive, most impressive.

If I didn't have a Gran Sport in line as the next ride, I'd be all over this GT500.

Car is bad a$$
