PP / Non-PP Question

From the owners manual ...

Thank you, ok sport mode.

PP has "traction control off" (push the TC button once) - "Advancetrac sport mode" (double-click the TC button) and "Advancetrac off" (hold the button down for 5 seconds, not moving, with foot on the brake), according to the display.

This 5-second "full off" seems to turn off TC as well.

The more fun thing to do is go with the "Advance sport mode" because it seems to do almost what a limited-slip diff does - allow the car to slide with both rear wheels spinning. TC off, or full off, it seems to just allow one wheel to spin and do whatever it wants. Which usually means an upshift, ending the experience

The full 5 second hold down the button on our PP cars turns everything off!!!
You ever see that commercial with professional NASCAR driver that drifts the SHO?

No, I have never seen anyone do that. I guess I don't know how to drive mine although I can spin the tires in a dig race. I guess I have some good tires.

I did that once in a very large parking lot with my 2013. I recall it was in AdvanceTrac Sport Mode, not full-off.

Any attempt to do that with full-off resulted in one wheel breaking loose front and back, and an upshift, killing the enjoyment. It's been my experience in both my 2013 and 2016, that AdvanceTrac Sport Mode is more like a computerized "limited slip" front and back.

I could be very very wrong, though.

I'm going to try it this weekend

I'll leave the video right here!

There’s certain packaging you can’t have on the pp. I believe it’s the active park assist and lane keeping? Could be wrong. PP also comes with the inserts in the seats and wrapped steering wheel. Or at least it did

Yes and the adaptive cruise control which is why I opted for the non-PP. Really wish that Ford had done the engineering to allow both.

It says the 0-60 was ~6 sec but isn't the pp about 5.2? My understanding is that the 0-60 is quicker than non-pp but slightly slower in the quarter.
