Duuuuude, you're right! I wasn't holding it down long enough. Lol.

Basically, I'm so used to engaging it at a lower mph that I'm thinking it's normal for the top light go on first, then the bottom light turns on. So at higher mph, when I don't see the top light go on, I only hold for a little longer and then give up before dropping speed. So after trying it at higher speed, not seeing the first light, I thought 'see, this isn't gonna work, but hell with it, just keep holding it...' and boom, the two lights come on at the same time! I was like 'holy shizz, wtf?!?' Never occurred to me both lights would go on at the same time. You deserve a beer my friend.

Lol. It's okay. All these apologies are great for boosting my ego, so that's something

If you're location is 808 you must have a hard time finding higher mph so understandable... \000/

I didn't do anything to help, but I'd be happy to accept the beer on behalf of Stang. Anything by Singlecut will do.

Ashamed to say I’ve never noticed much of a difference in handling with TRACK mode on vs. off, to a point where even with the dash lights indicating TRACK on I’m still left wondering if anything’s really changed. ):

...because you're using the wrong button.

And the “right” button is?

Pg. 253, 2017 Owner Guide

“TRACK” mode/Normal mode
The “TRACK” indicator and Vehicle stability control (VSC) off indicator come on when in “TRACK” mode.

..but who besides you really uses that button/mode? ...everyone in this thread is talking about holding the left button for 5 seconds.

Track mode limits are juust right for spirited driving. The base limits were also raised.

That one disable the brake-lsd when the wheels are slipping at low speed, it turns off at 31MPH. Perfect for getting out of a snow bank.
Keep it enabled if you truly have zero traction on both wheels as the HLSD turns into an open diff when that's the case.

I ise it every day. It's the first thing I do when I get in the car. Shockingly, I don't turn off VSC and TRC (left button long push) for daily driving. I find Track mode (right button) is great for anything but rain.

I fear my hoon card is about to be revoked.

That isn't true. It disables traction control, but it does not disable the e-diff function. You can have it off and the e-diff will still operate. Turning TCS off only prevents the car from limiting power to the rear wheels.

OMG, the thread cancer. You are incredibly patient.

I have found that the degree of misunderstanding over these two buttons, how they are used, what they do, etc... is far-reaching in the Twin community. I have no idea why. I may create a guide on the 86owners website I have just to try to provide a single resource for everyone.
