2024 GT performance 4 way drag race, what happened???

[GrayWolf]

This says it all, right here. The video poster outright accuses a commenter for "typing lies" because this idiot can't do his own research. Didn't even bother to watch the video - not worth giving them the credit after seeing the idiotic responses from both the video poster and a person claiming to be the MME driver. They didn't know what they were talking about and clearly didn't care to do a proper test.

Yeah, it makes sense that someone new to Mach-e might assume Unbridled Extended would sound like the fastest mode. What a shame I was looking forward to seeing how the 24 Mach-e stood up against those others but until another YouTuber comes along that has a clue how to set these cars up in the correct config we'll have to wait.

It wouldn't be so bad if they were honest about it and said "Oops, we messed up." but they are going hard on denying that their testing was problematic.

That guy is honestly not helping the case much anyway by referring to anything on the Mach-E as "track" and "drag" mode. I could almost forgive referring to Unbridle as "track" but "drag mode"? Just making it more confusing.

"drag mode"

AKA "filly mode"

Yeah, the video guy is doubling down on stupidity.

It’s like he has never heard of google. If someone claims something…. 10 seconds of research could answer whether or not you are right. Instead he responds with “stop spreading lies.” ??‍

I'm guessing the Performance Plus was not properly activated. There is no way with almost 500hp and more importantly WAY more torque than the other 3 cars for it to have gotten pulled that bad off the line.

Yeah, he doesn’t want to believe that unbridled extend reduces power. Does anybody know how much? I haven’t been able to find a number.

EV Pulse did a video with an older model GT (less power, different rear motor than the 2024's):

Best Run
3.69 second 0-60
12.49 second 1/4 mile


Unbridle Extend
4.70 second 0-60
13.35 second 1/4 mile

This is 100% proof that that results of the Sam Carlegion video should not be taken seriously.

I believe it. Just wondering if Ford has ever published how much of a horsepower reduction it is.

Safe to say based on acceleration results…… it turns it into a regular premium 4x. So around 350 hp instead of 480.

Seems they the reduction is less on a 2024 based on the 12.9 1/4 mile. But the 2024 Premium 4X is also faster than before (4.1 0-60).

Unfortunately Ford hasn’t given details and we don’t have any Dyno results.

ONE person tried a few years back with a GT but the crash avoidance software wouldn’t let them make a Dyno pull and they gave up.

The driver commented on the video and advised it was in Unbridled Extend. He also commented that it was at least at 60% state charge.

Both of these make me side eye the test.

Are you freaking kidding me!? Unbelievable. How could you NOT do proper research into the cars you’re testing before messing with them?

that’s like testing one of them ice supercars in a head to head and simply flooring it instead of reading first how to properly prep and launch the thing.

on another note, the 2024 Mustang Mach E GT complicates things now with the after-sale software upgrade. At least the 2023s and older has a distinct GTPE trim that had it all. With the 2024s, I wouldn’t be surprised if a reviewer actually manages to put the GT in Unbridled like they should, but somehow forgot to make sure that their vehicle came with the performance upgrade software preinstalled and ready to go.

Other than “not put it in unbridled extend” there isn’t much more they have to do.

The car will run a 1/4 mile just as fast in whisper.

Turning off traction control and the a/c might help slightly, but likely is negligible.

Video still up and no solid acknowledgement that they made a mistake.

The closest was a comment that “Ford team watches my videos, if they believe that we did something wrong, they would send an email explaining the issue and I would take the video down 100%.”

Sure….. Ford team watches your videos…..??

The idiot could just NOT hit the unbridle extend button and would instantly realize they did something wrong. Don’t need “Ford team” tell them this.

But if they’re asking for that clarification…… @Ford Motor Company want to let them know what they did wrong?
