Doing burnouts and muscle cars go together probably better
than anything else for car junkies like us.
Word on the street is that the new 2015 Mustang GT is going to come standard
with a feature that makes doing burnouts a lot easier. This feature is called
the “electronic line-lock” and was developed for drag racers to warm up their
rear tires before their run. This system
uses a hydraulic lock on only the front brakes allowing the driver to freely
spin the rear tires with out having to keep their foot balanced on the brake
pedal.
The electronic line-lock is combined with other features as
well, such as launch control and allows other modes of driving such as:
snow/wet, normal, sport and track. These new driving modes are designed to give
peak performance in each given scenario and is all displayed electronically on
the dash. This system can also be turned off incase you want to have some fun
the old fashioned way. It’s technology like this that makes the 2015 Mustang
the most advanced ever.
So far, Ford is the only car maker that offers this feature
standard. Their vision when creating
this technology was to make it so weekend racers can use their car as a daily
driver but still able to have some fun on track without having to modify their
car’s brake system. But don’t get too excited everyone, Ford claims that this
system is to only be used for intended track use and that any racing will void
the cars warranty.
