Will the 5th gen do a burnout?
 

So the New "Retro" Mustangs have that computer traction control that prohibit the driver from doing a burnout unless you get the programmer. Are they gunna do this with the 5th Gen?

burnouts = overrated tire wearing

Maybe so but I really hate the idea of any traction/stability management system that can't be COMPLETELY turned off with the flick of the switch ;)

Haha that's funny...the guy that lives across the street from my parents has a new auto GT...he said Sunday "the damn thing is a dog, I have to brake torque the hell out of it just to get the tires to do a lame chirp, with the TC off."

Of course, most things to this guy would be a dog. He also has a '69 Vette with a blown 509 and a 150 shot of nitrous. :lol:

Knowing GM it will do a 50-foot burnout just trying to launch "right" lol

Re: Will the 5th gen do a burnout?
 

Why do all their advertisements show it burning tire?

So you're telling me they all have undefeatable traction control? WTF? No wonder they're so f***ing slow.

With the IRS, I'm just hoping it won't be wheel-hop city.

No other rwd GM performance car features this garbage, so heres hoping the Camaro won't be burdened with an undefeatable traction control system.

Re: Will the 5th gen do a burnout?
 

if the camaro has always follow the corvette then... this is what we will probably see.

3 different driving modes:
Normal Driving mode - Traction control + active handling
Competitive Driving - active handling (let's you burn out as much as you want without getting sideways and take turns as fast as the car can without spining out)
Trac/Handl Off - none

Tell the guy to 1st rack up over 3000 break-in miles.

Then tell him to turn off the traction control AND the overdrive on his AOD tranny then try it. ;)

Much like Chrysler's system, Ford has a system in place that protects the engine till it's properly broken in.

The manual tranny Stangs with break-in have no problem at all lighting them up..... and I mean really lighting them up! :bow:
