I've got a 2011! Thanks, though. ;)

i know. i just couldn't find a pic of the 2011 manual online, i was just trying to make a point :tup:

I know. :rofl2:

The reason I asked, though, was because I was in my office and did not have the manual at hand. :tup:

what does it do? split the rear axle into two wishbones? :p:stirthepot:

seriously though, how does it feel compared to the z vdc system? does it allow more drifting? and does it catch the car in time or is there a risk of spinning out? i find the vdc very intrusive and annoying on dry road. on the wet when i was on the track last sunday however, i would have prefered an even more conservative setting of the vdc. the asphalt was very slippery and the vdc reaction time was a bit slow compared to dry road. it eventually stabilized the car but in many turns i had to countersteer initially for a fraction of a second before the vdc kicked in and took over and saved the car.

Sport Mode lets you slide the car and spin the tires like hell. It only kicks in when it feels like it needs to. If you spin the tires too much it will dial throttle back but nothing like VDC where it totally kills your forward momentum. Mustang's Sport Mode makes VDC look like a joke as far as performance driving is concerned.

Like any stability control system, there is always a risk of spinning out or crashing if you go in WAY too hot.

I'd say in normal mode, though, the Mustang's stability and traction control function just about the same as VDC does.

FWIW the Stability/Traction control systems are tuned slightly differently on the Brembo/Non-Brembo cars. The system lets you go a little bit further with the Brembo car.

i think my friends dad is getting a new 5.0 soon if he sells his bike

This is one of the major omissions in the Z. It needs a sport, or enthusiast setting to allow more fun, but not crash into a 7-11 fun.

I have the 2009 & 2010 370Z owners guides of all types on my iPad for easy access.

Goto motocraftservice.com and you can download the 2011 Mustang manual where you will discover you have a locking bin but mo hints on where to access the lock :)

Then buy an iPad and always have your manual with you!

(I recommend GoodReader door PDF reading on the iPad.)

:bowrofl:

Mustangs are driven by peope who look at their sisters and go "hmmmm". That's what jeremy clarkson said

been looking around for info on the stang.

simply :yum:

The one thing I'd take from the 'Stang to the Z is it's engine management's ability to safely move between 87 and 91 octane gas. The stang goes from 412 hp to 405 hp to do this. I would have thought the drop would be much higher.

LOL 5.0 snobb! jk!
