I'm sure many of you are receiving that email update from ford as I'm typing, but I just looked at the new pdf and there's mention of an optional chronometer in the '05!!!

hmmm

Sounds like a freebie, can't be an option right?
Just keep your eye on the brand-new available
chronometer. 0 to 30 mph. Wait, 0 to 60 mph. Hang on, 0 to 100 mph
(on a supervised track, of course).
Or better yet what does available mean? $$

I'm assuming 'available' means 'optional' - shouldn't be too steep, I'd think. Maybe part of the premium package?

It comes with the Interior Upgrade Package/MyColor feature. Someone posted photos of the chronometer a few weeks ago; it's part of the message center.

Can I ask? What is the purpose of a chronometer?

SVTJayC

to measure time

SickofMyVWAlready

Just another little toy. Hopefully it will automatically measure acceleration (0 - 60, etc) time.

wow. it does sound like a kewl little toy. more to mess with while i'm in traffic i guess. B)

I think its like the explorer/exped one that just keeps trip times allong with trip odo.

Donna

That helps alot. I am familiar with the one in the Explorer. I personally probably will never use it.


I thought it was just great to finally get an email from Ford!!

Thanks for posting the countdown clock, its cool watching the days click by till Job 1.

The only thing better would be a built-in GTech
:drive:

i bet you can get a stopwatch and a calculator a heck of a lot cheaper

its_amazing

yah,..,...but this would be more accurate,,,,,quicker than pretty much any finger-to-stopwatch results one can do

hdwrench

true, but in reality just another gimmick 99% of people will never use.

its_amazing

kinda like the trunk release in the trunk,,,,,, or an engine block heater in florida,,,

,,,,wonder what the mafia thinks of this concept of being able to open a trunk from inside :scratch:

ManEHawke

I would guess most people who test it out would do it in a track. I wonder how accurate it will be when compared to the track's stopwatch.

Cool toy!!!

kevinb120

Its just a line of code in the computer, so it costs virtually nothing.

You cant exactly use it for any kind of performance testing anyway.
