Brakes Ice Mode

[Junkyard Dog]

Has anybody with an S650 experienced "Ice Mode" while on track?

This is a condition that occurs when braking hard, and the system decides that instead of on a dry, hot, sticky asphalt track in August, that you are instead in January in Anchorage and are braking on ice. The car applies as much braking force as if you are trying to stop on ice.

If you release the pedal and squeeze it again, the car should adjust back to actual conditions, but sometimes that means not enough room if you did not leave extra room at the track for braking into an approaching turn.

I have never experienced this.

It is extremely common on S550 cars, reported frequently over at trackmustangsonline.com

Since this site is dedicated to 7Gen (S650) cars, and some of you track, I just wanted to ask, is this still a thing with Mustangs?

That sounds bloody dangerous if you’re approaching a corner at full pelt and need to use all the braking space available to you! Having to lift off on final approach would take balls of steel on track

May put you off track, yes.

But I am looking for examples of it happening to S650 cars. There are plenty of examples of it in the S550.

I'll be watching for this.

I've never experienced this with my S650. Every time I brake the actual stopping power is as expected. This is the only vehicle I've ever driven on track, so I have no comparison.

I am glad you chimed in, as you probably have the most S650 track experience of anybody on this forum.
