In the interest of full disclosure .... I did own a mustang once upon a time...

Had a screaming yellow 2004 Mach 1 with a STS twin turbo kit. That motherfucker was quick. But those 555s didn't grip worth shit on black ice and my ex wife totaled it.

When the temps get around 45 degrees or so, the tires I have definitely don't hook at all. It's 2 different cars depending on the outside temp.

I also always turn traction control completely off everytime I drive it. Unless the roads are wet.

Those new NT555 G2s are horrible.

Really? That's sad. They were damn good shoes.

Yeah, I never had the old NT555s but several of my friends had them and no complaints. The wheels on my car now had G2s on them when I got them and I took them off. Nonexistent traction (which could be a lot of fun) and horrible tramlining and road noise. Could have been since they were used, but they only had maybe 5 or 6K miles on them, they had about 80% tread and looked even to me. I was gonna ride on them for a year to buy time for new shoes, but I just couldn't take it.

Mine's a 6 speed. I won't own an automatic Mustang. But the car automatically starts with traction control on, and if you turn it "off," it's not really off. The stability control is still on, which also senses wheelspin. Hold the traction control button down and hold it for 7 seconds to turn all the nannies off.

What?

I am not getting this... technology man....

Could the traction control button be reconfigured to act a Line Lock? Cause That could be very very very useful.

I'm running out of skin
Wife says don't get any more and I'm inclined to listen (mainly because I don't feel like finding someone really good).

Joe Vegas of Thunderbolt is who I'm going to use if I ever put the money aside. He's on IG. I think you'll like him. He has a very spiritual connection to Japan, and that speaks volumes to me...I think you understand what I'm saying here.

Turning off the traction control still leaves the dynamic stability control on. So if the car senses wheelspin, like when you toss the car and drop to 2nd gear to pass, the throttle will be electronically limited...not good when you're trying to pass.

I've got Track Apps on my car, so I actually have a line lock from the factory. But I've never used it.
