Project S550 comes stock with some very slick performance technologies, which Ford calls its Track Apps. These monitor G-forces, braking and acceleration times in both quarter-mile and 0-60 increments. Additionally, there are Launch Control and Line Lock controls for those drag race enthusiasts. The premium option also gives us a variety of selectable driving modes as well as the ability to change steering feel.
Launch Control
? Allows driver to “launch” at a pre-set RPM for quick takeoff
? Activated via Track Apps on the LCD screen using the five-way button on
steering wheel
? Driver revs vehicle to desired launch RPM and sets the Launch Control
? Driver can then press the accelerator without the RPM exceeding the set
level
Line Lock

? Allows rear wheels to rotate through throttle application while front brakes
remain locked
? Activated via the Track Apps on the LCD screen using five-way button on
