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?

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.

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

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

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!
