Burnouts Made Easy For the New Mustang

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.
