I believe that the ESC (electronic stability control) is as follow: Normal driving mode = normal ESC settings, Sport driving mode = normal ESC settings, Track driving mode = sport ECS settings, Drift driving mode = sport ECS settings.

 

when in normal esc setting the dynamic torque vectoring can make the torque steer feel unnatural and artificial. In sport esc setting the torque steer feels real and therefore controllable. to me normal mode pulls back against the torque steer in a weird way and I just cant seem to figure out how to deal with it.

 

Have't broken in yet so haven't experienced what you are talking about. Will be interesting to see if I get the same feedback.

 

Wait, can we individually select stability modes?

 

What torque steer?

I've hammered the car on a 1-2 upshift while cornering aggressively, there is no torque steer.

And in every mode, the ESC remains in sport. If you want "god" mode as it was called traditionally on the ST, you have to hold the traction control button till the notification about the ESC being turned off comes on.

 

He might be talking about from a dig? I don't know. I attribute torque steer to FWD cars. I had a Mini CooperS, with pulley and work done. Put close to 300 FWHP. From a dig once in the high rpms had to hold on tight to keep her straight. Especially with the front getting light. Maybe he means something else?

 

I absolutely get some torque steer. The 3 to 4 shift around 80mph always causes the car to sway a bit left and right. When I pass people on a two lane road is when I most notice it.

If I didn't hold tightly on to the wheel, it would be in the ditch. I've owned a Mini JCW and a Porsche 911 S, so I know what it is to have it and what it is to not have it.

 

yeah exactly, and once you get enough seat time you'll wonder what the hell ford did to make the car bob up and down like on the top gear test track lap. I've experience the bob both on throttle and off throttle.

 

 

I still say you are all crazy, I've hammered it from a stop. From a roll, in all area's of the power band and there is nothing. At no point did I ever have to correct the wheel. I came from an ST with a Cobb 93 OTS tune. And even that torque steer was minimal.

 

did you notice how the car bobs when you push it to the point of understeer?

 

No offense but you guys have kind of hijacked this thread. I'm trying to find out engineering wise if someone actually knows the interplay between these 2 controls, that seem to do a lot of the same things.
