Question

So I only have 1500 miles on the car, and have started to have fun with it now. I was being tailed by these girls in a Mustang (new V6 I think), and they were like, right on me. At the next light, I floored it and they did too, it was close though, was TRAC limiting my speed ?

edawg, I know the Mustang thing kinda disturbed me too, I can't figure if it's better to launch from ECT power mode in auto or use the manual/matic......
