Trackey for manual 2014 GT's manufactured after 7/1/2013

Neat, well at least it's not a total waste. So I guess the way to look at this is that the software can't really be separated from the programmer, it's one unit.

Thx for the compliment!! Not yet on the track. Had that track key, Corsa exhaust, Boss adjustable shocks (front and rear), SVT camber plates, SVT lower springs and adjustable pan hard bar all done 1 week before garaged for winter. Upgrades were a early Xmas gift from my wife. Have plans to run on new track in CT, and going to try to get to performance driving school in N.C. In September. Can't wait!! Car runs and handles so much better.

Sorry, it is in S.C. ( I have spent some time recently in both states and I get them mixed up). But the link is below. The chief instructor that helps run the program (Jim Edwards) is a class act! He ran the track event at the 50th celebration (where I got "the bug" to do it again) they have excellent instructors and the cost is minimal for a great long weekend. I missed the last one because my engine had to be replaced, but they refunded my money because of the circumstances. Here is the link to sign up. From what I understand space is limited because they like to have one or two students per instructor. http://www.motorsportreg.com/events/...ts-park-482070

So now that the tune has been out for a while are there any regrets? Anyone wish they had gone with something else? Is there better options?
I have not found a local dealer who has done an install. How important is that? Should I look outside of my area?
As soon as the weather breaks, probably a month out or more, I am ready to get the Track Key installed. But, want to make sure that there weren't some got ya's out there.

Ford racing mike is great to deal with.
for the price can't Beet it.
But as mentioned more power would be nice so more than likely going with an aed tuned this year.
I keep hoping ford will release an update for the tune to add a lititle more hp in the upper rpm area.
Doubtin that will happen though.
All in all for the $300 I believe I spent I can't imagine driving the car stock.IT was worth the money just for the huge increase in driveability and shifting.

Come join us with Northeasttrackdays.com this year. I instruct with them and there are always a few mustangs; including dmichaels in his well prepped blue GT.

Any idea on cost? Last time I checked for a two day driving course it was about $900. Not much track time here so I'm looking for something well organized so I don't have someone trashing my car by accident or because the skill levels are not matched correctly.
Any info is greatly appreciated. (Not much on the website yet).

Couple of questions for you guys, I'm getting close to pulling the trigger.
1. Has buyfordracing.com changed to buyfordracingfromdpm.com? I recall buying a product from buyfordracing.com and getting invoiced from Diversified Products Marketing.
2. If so, you have to call, because the TracKey isn't on the site, right?
3. I've heard multiple times that the TracKey doesn't affect the warranty. Anyone had problems with the warranty?
4. When you go to the dealer for the download, do they get upset if you didn't buy the key from them?

buyfordracing.Com I believe is owned by diversified.
just call mike and talk to him.
He will walk you through everything
2 most items are not on their site but they are right next to ford racing warehouse
3 Any questions on warranty call ford racing and ask for mike there in the svt section

I asked my dealer if I could buy it from them they said no but they also said they would install it.
Hope this helps

A true racing training course would be done by an organization like Skip Barber in their spec miata or formula cars. Quite expensive. If you can find a skid pad training course they are very helpful for learning the quick hands and reactions to traction loss.

OK, so I called the number on buyfordracingfromdpm.com and a gent answered the phone "Diversified." I asked if this was "buyfordracing" and he said "buyfordracing.com is the name of our website." So I think I had the right place.
Anyway, after inquiring about the GT TracKey, he told me "We're not allowed to sell the GT TracKey, you have to buy that from an authorized Ford dealer."
Has something changed? Tasca will be my next stop.

Bought mine online from DonWood with no problems.
Bought it on a Saturday and it arrived by Friday with normal shipping.
$333.00. Comes in a box that had the original sealed Ford Racing package inside it.
Ford service charged flat $100 + taxes for setup.
