Financing Your Boss? Bad News About Trackey!
I hope it's not true, but according to the Detroit News(online):
"Ford also offers something called TracKey, which an owner can only get once the car is paid off.
There's a reason for this. TracKey allows the driver to put the car in full track-ready form. It will give the car racer calibrations and a launch control system that won't void the manufacturer's warranty. The launch control will allow you to preset an RPM limit, mash the accelerator to the floor and then launch like a space shuttle."

I am not sure of the significance of that milestone in terms of legalities. Perhaps a motivated individual might contact the author of the article and see where he got that information.

Does CARB know that NASA has access to TracKey?

I've emailed the author before on some mistakes he made in mustang articles, and got no reply, and no correction on the info.

This is correct. People have just read a little TOO MUCH into it.
What does Ford say?
Boss Hero Card, page two left side.
What does that mean. Pay Ford for the car and you can have the trackey instaslled After Purchase.
Who was this twisted?? Someone changed purchased to Paid Off. I would bet a writer for the newspaper pulled this jew out of somewhere he/she should have left it. simple.
Now, If the CARB would just release out new toys!!!!!!

"It's the complete package of performance, comfort and power.
Sadly, it's better than the Bullitt, a Mustang that I adored for such a short time. And it's not like I can't remember it fondly as I use voice-activated commands on the Boss 302 to operate my phone or stereo through Sync."
Wow, his Boss has Sync. Mine doesn't.
