My cars are significantly stiffer but they are track built cars. I was very impressed with how it handled for a stock car, but I would definitely install stiffer springs the day they are available!

I have posted this in a few FB groups and it was suggested that I list it here. I get that it's a crazy ask :) Anyone want to attend the Holley High Voltage EV Day at Sonoma Raceway w/ me on November 13/14? I am really hoping to "rent" a Mach E GTPE from someone as I don't want to ship mine...

I don't claim to be an engineer, so maybe someone with more knowledge can respond but I believe with the 800v, it is much lower amperage. I believe the amperage is where the heat comes from. I know when running wire, higher amperage requires larger wire because of heat. You can drag race...

Other than staging it correctly and launching it properly, it's not very exciting. I did three runs and was like "okay" but I used to drag race a Fox Mustang and it was a very active 11 seconds of shifting and steering.

You need to join the Mach E GT Performance group.

@harrysiii learned of shutting off traction control and other nannies by holding the button down. I spoke to someone at Ford Fest that was very familiar with the Mach E GTPE and he taught me this little trick. You will feel it load up. On the track, there was zero slippage but the track was...

an old Galaxy w/ a 532 big block

I haven't heard of the error codes. We own two. My wife has a Premium Extended Range and I have a GTPE. She did have a service call for the shifter knob. Between the two of them, we have 12k miles on them and no error codes

My guess is that you need to stage shallower. The key for all EVs is the 1' rollout. The shallower you stage. Also, there is a "launch mode". All nannies off, left foot brake and push it all of the way to the floor (or as far as you can) and then right before the you need to launch put the...

The car is not "overheating" after 5 seconds. The charge controller can only handle so much amperage. The faster it dumps it, the hotter it gets. This is why the car will charge at different speeds depending on the temperature of the battery. Keep in mind that Ford has to warranty these...

I did more than 40 minutes on track at NCM. The car never gave me an "overheat message". I did get on the 2nd day I owned while doing some really tight auto-x stuff. On that day, there was typically four people in the car and we were on a go-cart track. You can shut the nannies off with UE...

My MME GT PE weighed in just under 5100 today. I have posted multiple videos of it on track and doing auto-x and it holds its own. You can slide it, throttle steer it and drift it. I can't wait to get a real suspension in it and a set of track tires. Have officially owned it three weeks and...

Another track day. I was instructing for BMW so I took my MME GTPE out for one session. My tires are already shot, as this was my 5th day of tracking it. Ran a 1:12 explaining the track to my student. Track Addict had a theoretical best of 1:10. I am guessing with a decent set of tires, no...

glad you enjoyed the sound of the 532 big block galaxy! The guy was a great guy and his galaxy was ripping on the auto-x course too. Was fun watching something the twice the length of my car slide around the track.

Thanks for sharing the video and pics. I am the owner/driver of that car. To answer some of the questions. The Ranger was V8 swapped and the driver's backup auto-x car. The Focus had some mild mods and the guy drove the heck out of it. Everyone that finished higher than me in auto-x had...

I have a new one. I was at Ford Fest this weekend. I was often between 5 and 50 feet from my car. It was constantly locking and unlocking. It got to the point where my phone was overheating from constantly communicating with the car. If someone is out in their yard and the car is in the...

So, on track, I definitely shutoff the nannies. Please keep in mind that I have more than 150 track days under my belt. I am not recommending this for anyone without track experience! It 100% let's you slide the car, throttle steer and drift the car. Sound like fun? Yes, right up until...

Here are my time slips from Ford Fest 21 on Friday Night. I was car #634. I don't know if anyone has seen better times than these. For fun, here is a video of Vaughn Gitten Jr drifting and doing donuts in my car. Hoping to see people start posting the external shots. Everyone that...

Sonoma will have some soon but any track that offers power for camping, should have NEMA 14-50 outlets and you can plug into those.
