Boss 302 Track Key and Launch Control Demonstration Video

[mustangc]

This is a video of the 2012 Boss 302 using the track key. One of the Ford engineers is demonstrating how the "launch control" works. It is more like a simple 2-stage rev limitor than a dynamic launch control. The best part about it is that it cuts fuel to maintain the launch RPM, (as opposed to keeping the throttle blade partially closed as it would be if the driver was trying to maintain a launch RPM by modulating the throttle position). This means that the intake manifold is already at full atmospheric pressure when you launch, allowing the engine to react much faster.

Cool. I hadn't seen that demonstrated before. I doubt I'll use it much as my Boss goes around the road course for 15-25 minutes at a time versus 1320 feet 12 seconds at a time. Too bad they don't have that on my GT500 :lol1:
