I have read 3 articles this weekend saying ford has it in the computer that no smokey burnouts with the electronic throttle. Engine will back off power so you cannot do massive burnouts??? What is the deal with this feature? Warranty saves?

I don't know what your talking about... Powers still there...

I didn't like this...
"To me, the throttle control seemed natural enough in the real world.
It's only when you driven in Anger that the throttlefeels unnatural.."
"I'm not so sure about the throlle-by wire calibration engineers,However..
the Five speed manual GT i drove in California had markedly slow throlle Tip in response that made it feel sluggish off the line, in spite of its now standard 3:55 gear ratio."

Do you have a 05 GT ?
Well wait to see if other 05 owners are feeling the same problem.
Dotanukie said:Road and Track said something about them not liking the drive by wire throttle either, that there's a split second lag between when you punch it and when the motor actually does anything.
I would imagine that trying to hold a burnout for any length of time will cause the traction control to kick in and chop the power. Does the 05 have a defeat button for the traction control? If not, I'll be seriously disappointed in Ford.
