yes sir, hold brake in, traction control button twice and voila. I like how the steering stiffens up a bit.

Yeah, base models do have Sport mode as well. It's just programmed a little differently on the Brembo cars.

Hunter green

Graphite


But the need to have a good shine to them

Good to know.

Does the fact that race red has no "pop" or no flakes, a concern to you guys? or just the ferrari reddish type color is what draws you in?

So to get sport mode, just hold brake in then push tc button 2x?

Cool-good to know.


On the 12s, steering can actually be adusted without going into sport mode. Pretty cool IMO

I would have killed for a race red brembo package. The paint looks sweet in person.

Race red doesn't need a flake... its almost the perfect red.

And correct on sport mode.

yep, its kind of a rapid press, probably within a second of each other. Also, to turn all the traction controls off, stop the car completely, hold the brake down while holding down the tc button for 6 seconds. Dont recommend this though, i've almost died more than once.

thanks for input on TC mode... I did not know that. Then again, I am (will be) new to mustangs... lol.

As for red, I like how it looks, but I still think Kona is it for me. I have to get the deal straightened out... we'll see. And thanks everyone for input on non-brembos. I will x that out of consideration :D

m4a1mustang 09-21-2011 01:36 PM

Definitely get the color you want. Kona is gorgeous in person. I love love love it.

I would rather write naked call options against AAPL than teach you to drive the 5.0. Less risky. :icon17:
