What a nice car, very powerful! I have a fews question if anyone feel like helping out:
I noticed even with traction off i sometime get power shutdown if i go fishtail-like, is it normal? Is there a way to fully remove the traction control.
Also, i have the led projection horse, pretty cool on driver side but on the passenger side it a kind of licorn/horse with flower and bird? That look a bit..weird? Any way to change it!
I just realised my color and track apps option, that mean i have the premium?
Any chance this come with the 3.73 gear?
At last im going to put some afternarket spring, ive read the 05-09 spring fit up to 2014(true?)
What do you guys suggest me to get in suspension component to improve street and drag handling? Pan hard strut? Any full kit i can get my hand on all at once?
Thank alot !

If u can't stick you can't move. Also thee is a function where the TCS cuts some power when tires let loose and you are moving.
Not certain if it does it with TCS off.
You DON'T want the traction control off at ALL times.
VERY dangerous to have it off in certain conditions that OFTEN present themselves.
These cars will get away from you without you knowing SO easily in the slightest wet condition, or gravel etc. even in nothing other than cool conditions sometimes.
Again if you value your safety and life at all , DO NOT turn off the TCS every time you drive the car! Turn it off when you KNOW you won't hit any moisture or other conditions. NOT all the time!
DO NOT!!!!
NO NO NO NO!

No worry, i wont be removing it completely, i was just wondering how come the car had a power shutdown w/ traction off when pulling onto the ramp to the highway with a bit of drift, i think running the first stage of traction off seem legit, not sure what the difference is with the sport mode traction off. Either way i now need to figure out my gear, im like at 2000rpm in 6 at 60mph, it tear up the pavment, im not sure if ordering my 4.10 might make it too much..
But your totally right blacksmoke, these are pretty nervous car, need to double check everything, doesnt take much to slip into a ditch

someone local is selling a sct tuner with a cold air that was on 2011,
so actually, they come with premium fuel tune and like something Superior premium for higher octane like 93-94
should I grab a custom tune or canned tune do the job fair enough for basic bolt on?

im on americanmuscle site and they say if you roll at 65mph on highway and see rpm in the range of 2150, you got a 4.10 but they dont mention if that is when your in 6th gear...or 5th?
my rpm at 65mph is at 2150....so i got a freaking 4.10??? our transmission is the t56 6 speed right?

from the factory manuals came with 3.31s base and 3.55 and 3.73s were factory options. You should go to a ford dealer and see if they have any brochures on your year that way you can get an idea of what you have. The manual is an MT-82 made in china. Its not a tremec unfortunately but holds up nicely.
