2 things. 1 leave Mustang transmission in automatic mode and use Drag Mode for best results. 2 BMW usually underrates their engines, plus turbo cars are typically faster than NA cars with similar power as they usually make more torque throughout the rev range.

[@zenkoz3158]

It's not the timing, the s650's ecu logic has a change that was made from the s550 where it will cut throttle after a shift that takes place that high in the rpm range (can't remember the threshold number) and it was only supposed to be on the manual cars to prevent damage that the s550 had issues with. That being that the MT82 is a pretty garbage transmission for a performance vehicle and doesn't take kindly to shifts near redline. So instead of giving it a better transmission they tried to prevent the owners from breaking it with that throttle cut. As for why this made it to the automatic when using manual mode, I'm guessing a programmer got lazy and they just shipped like that. I hope it's something they fix with OTA updates or a recall of some sort but honestly I doubt it.

[@FrankCastleP45]

@Sammaherloughnan have you raced an automatic Ford with a ten speed in it?

[@Sammaherloughnan]

@@FrankCastleP45 no one has,These are road cars! I have however been involved in super car development, tyre development, TC, and ESP development. I have launched and demonstrated cars all over the world. I have been teaching racing for over 20 years. I own and run my own stunt driving school. I have drag launched 100’s of cars on every conceivable surface, ie. ICE,gravel, I specialise in car control and have customers all over the world. I think you’re misunderstanding why the mustang lost to the BMW. The time it takes to change gear was not the issue. It was limited in its traction control. 👍

[@FrankCastleP45]

@Sammaherloughnan I'm not sure what you mean by, "No one has." Plenty of people (including myself) have raced their street cars in a drag race both on a drag strip and on the street. Anyway, that's quite a list of qualifications for all of the vehicles you have raced and are familiar with. But you misunderstand what I was getting at. I already knew the BMW would win before the race even began based on the specs of both cars and what I know about them. BMWs always put the power down better than Mustang GTs stock vs. stock. My point was that when you drive a Ford with a 10-speed auto in it, if you let the car shift itself in "Sport" mode, it does better than when you shift it manually. I would know because I actually own one and drive it daily. If you shift it yourself under racing conditions and get too close to the redline, they tend to act funny. They can hesitate to shift and can even up-shift twice because the driver's input wasn't early enough to prevent a protective up-shift. But yes. I know and understand that manually shifting was not the reason why the Mustang GT lost the race.

[@christorre3118]

For roll racing, keep the Mustang in Drive while in Drag mode and downshift to the gear you want. It will hold that gear for around 10 seconds so you have to time it well. Punch it and the transmission will automatically upshift at redline. Dont manually upshift, you either shift too early or bounce of the redline.
