Has anyone here (especially with a GT) done Draggy or drag strip runs just before the update then run it again after to see if there was a decrease in performance?

It is well documented that no one has noticed any performance changes. If the condition is experienced, then messages come up and such, but otherwise, no performance changes.

Please point me to said well documented data....something with test numbers, not just, "I dont feel a difference" comments.

Never used the word "data". Multiple people have reported no performance difference. Perhaps you can accumulate and then publish said data?

Some people will defend Ford to no end with no proof of their claims. I'm not saying that there's any difference or not, but there's many people who asked for Draggy Data and no one has yet to provide it - that I've seen.

I honestly don't think the software does anything to the day-to-day driving and performance, I think it just monitors the HVBJB and will trip when it detects something and then of course you have no performance at all.

I agree with you that it would be nice to get someone who has Draggy data pre-recall to do a comparison post-recall. I just don't think we've seen that yet. I too would love to know with concrete data.

Can you point me to that documentation, please?

I am in the camp of Select AWD and I swear it feels faster! Nothing documented to support before or after, but it does feel a bit more. Definitely my first time pulling out of the driveway something was different, mild acceleration and my car was all over the road, although that felt more like the AWD or traction control acting wonky, and was only the first time I accelerated after the update.

I am still waiting for that documentation of what you stated, can you please point me there? I wanted to see the lap times, 0-60 times, charging times, etc... I am hoping all those metrics are in whatever documentation/reports you saw.

Thank you in advance.

Ah, you are right. You only said that people sharing their opinions is well documented. But you said that in a respaonse to my request for dragstrip/draggy numbers which is hard data.
It is what it is at this point. The performance without the update is sad enough for me not to try to have fun with many cars on the road. A tad slower isnt gonna make that worse, so now its more of a curiosity. When all the held-back truths about the GT, Im not likely to be a repeat Ford EV buyer. At the very least, I would wait a couple of years after a new release to give a chance for the facts to fall out.

Even with draggy data it’s going to be real hard to tell if there is a difference.

Way too many variables. Same car, same road, same weather, same state of charge, same day…… and you can have a .3 second variance in back to back 0-60
Runs.

Best data I have with my GTPE: before and after recall, it spins the tires at launch and again around 25 mph. Gray bars don’t seem to show up any more or less.

As far as hard data goes, forget draggy, where are our DYNOs???

Seriously. 10 months and not a single Dyno for a GT?? Only saw one person try 10 months ago and they couldn’t get the crash avoidance turned off.

I have a Dragy run of our GT earlier this year, but no recall yet. I'll try to do another after recall. 0-60 sans rollout was 3.82, exactly as Ford advertised. Real 0-60 is 4.21.

I have a good amount of Dragy runs on our 4X, not a GT, but I’m still curious. The 22S41 just hit yesterday so I’m going to get some post-software recall runs in to see how they compare. Pre-recall bests were 4.64 0-60mph (w/1ft roll out), [email protected] 1/8th mile, and [email protected] 1/4 mile. But, overall the avg. is 4.9, 8.7@83, and 13.6@103.

So…
I had the recall done a couple weeks ago. Haven’t really been driving much but brought my car to a job site because a couple coworkers down in this part of the state wanted to see. I took them each on a quick show-off ride and here I am, back in the forum looking for whether anyone else feels like the launch is off. Not anywhere near the immediate hard g forces of a few weeks ago.

I’ve got my dragy with my and will try to grab some data in the morning. ( not that it will mean too much as I was last messing with dragy in may when it was 30° in the mornings. )

If it's 0-60 I think there's a ton of pre-recall data on the internet to support mostly 3.8ish times. It should be easy to figure out if that changed. I has no car because mine blew up otherwise I would go out and test it.
