Its a wonderful little device Ford added to the cars with the assumption most people have no driving skill. It basicly uses a program to control fuel throttle and braking should the tires loose traction (like in a burnout).

It's supposed to replace the skills we learned as kids with a computer program.

I have it turned off in my tune on the GT.

I think I'll trust my own judgement and skill rather then relying on a computer. Besides it changes how a car reacts to some things. That can be a real problem when you start to compensate for something then the car starts cutting power or applying brakes, etc. It makes the car react in a manner that, well honestly I'm not used to or ready for.

I guess I'm just old fashioned. I'd rather trust myself in a situation then the car.

Heck, it took me forever to get used to ABS brakes, I kept wanting to pump them!

Isn't that something you do with tire pressures, launch rpm and suspension adjustments?

So I'm not the only one! You know the old dog, new tricks saying.

I disabled mine when I went with Moser axles in the '01. I had to use one of the ABS sensor holes under my rear seat for the blow-down tube for the nitrous. My bottle is mounted on my rear seat delete kit.
