I have to then hold the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel and confirm I want the line lock with another press of OK. It’s also activated through Track Apps and requires a foot on the brake and another on the clutch. While I’m at the large turnout, I decide it’s time to try another toy, the line lock, which is basically a burnout enabler. It turns out the revs were likely set too high both times, as a Ford engineer later says 3,500 rpm is better for an unprepped surface like the street. Not willing to press my luck, I decide that’s enough. I try again at 5,500 rpm, and this time tire spin slows the time to 6.1 seconds. The engine bogs as the tires grip too hard, and my 0-60 mph time comes in at a disappointing 5.8 seconds. When the system says it’s ready, I put one foot on the clutch and the other on the throttle, then dump the clutch. I also use Track Apps to measure the 0-60 mph time. Someone has set it at 4,900 rpm, so that’s what I try first. There I can set the car to launch anywhere from 2,500-7,000 rpm. To activate the feature, I hit the MyMustang button below the center screen then choose Track Apps. I pull into one of the many turnouts on a deserted stretch of road to try out another toy, launch control.
That’s a good thing or a bad thing, depending on who’s in the car with you.
When driving with anyone in the car, Track and Sport can drown out conversation. Driving alone on a canyon road, Track offers an appropriate soundtrack.

Drivers can adjust the sound through four levels, starting at subdued and ramping up to a Track setting that Ford recommends only be used at a racetrack due to the high decibels it can belt out. It sounds pretty great, too, as have Ford V-8s since the 1960s. The exhaust costs $1,225, but it’s worth every penny just for the look of the quad exhaust tips. Add the optional active exhaust system and output rises slightly to 486 hp and 418 lb-ft. In standard form, it makes 480 hp, up from 450, and 415 lb-ft of torque, up from 410. It’s the fourth-generation Coyote 5.0-liter V-8 that’s outfitted with a new dual air intake to feed dual electronic throttle bodies. The standard performance parts start under the hood, where there rumbles a good ol’ American V-8. 2024 Ford Mustang GT 2024 Ford Mustang: Still a 5.0, but with more power
