I will upload pics on about a week or so gonna put some rims on it bf I do the exhaust and tune. Got into one race yesterday with a young kid in a supercharged mustang pulled him pretty easily. I own two mustangs that are both built cant wait to see that matchup. How do I make the car run in the fastest mode and shift the hardest. Seems like in the vids the m5 can chirp them but doesnt seem like mine is shifting that hard???

Put it on s6. (p500 dsc-off etc.) This should do the trick.

This makes the gearbox change fastest it can, but it does take tc off in the process. There are lots of threads about this. Use the search and you can find better advice from there

Be Aware:

There are 3 Buttons:

POWER - When pressed this button brings the car from 400hp to 500hp
DSC - When pressed this button disables traction control (be careful)
EDC - When pressed this button stiffens the suspension (there are three modes, each one stiffer than the last, 1 is the softest)

The bars you see on the dash and the button between the shifter and center console with the bars changes the shift speed. You can select from 6 different shift speeds: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

The car defaults to 3. Selection 5 shifts the car quick. You can only access #6 with DSC off.

In order to get very fast shifts that snap your neck back and spin the tires you would need to be in these settings: POWER, S6, DSC OFF
