American car maker giant Ford has officially unveiled the new 2015 Mustang GT’s electronic burnout control system. Being called as the electronic line-lock, this system on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT keeps the front brakes locked while releasing the rear brakes. The driver can then step on the gas to perform a burnout without requiring to have one foot on the brake and the other on the accelerator. On one hand, Ford has said that the new system is meant for drag racing and other such performing events. They have said that the new electronic line-lock is “intended for use only on racetracks.” And then, they’ve been quick to add “racing your vehicle will void your warranty.”
Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak has said “We’re using advanced controls technology for the all-new Mustang to provide some of our most dedicated fans with an industry-first feature they can use when they go to the track. With electronic line-lock, customers who drive their Mustangs to work all week and then compete on the weekends will appreciate not having to modify their brake systems to be able to do effective tire prep at the drag strip.”
