love the way the press has slated this as a hoon feature yet the BMW M3/4 has this feature and largely slides past the Australian's press attention http://www.roadandtrack.com/go/news/...n-old-function

The nanny state fun police will ensure that feature will have to be removed or permanently disabled to be legal to sell here.

Looks like by the time you muck around in the computer settings to engage it on the stang any other person could have just put there foot on the brake, foot on the throttle and blown a pair of tires off haha

Valued Contributor: For members whose non technical contributions are worthy of recognition. - Issue reason: Jim has consistently for some time now shared his life, and his passions in his XY GT and more so his FG GT in a way so everyone here feels part of the journey, which helps make AFF such a worthwhile place to be.  An outstanding contributor in my book.

B&M "Launch Control" just about to go into mine. Got nothing to do without being to do a burnout by myself- with $7k worth of brakes on the car, it just makes sense to me....

Cool feature though. I like Ford US's marketing- they want to keep the live axle to offer it to their Drag Racing customers and introduce a line locker, awesome.

Would it be fair to call it a safety feature?after all, blokes do burnouts and have for decades without this feature, however with the feature it stops you burning out your back brakes.
