I guess Ford came out with a track key for some of the 2014 GT manual cars and it doesn't void the factory warranty. That kinda sucks for me since I have a 2013GT. I wonder what is different with the cars that can't get it. I don't know if this link will work but you can Google it if not.

Freaking sweet. I don't know what would be different for 2014 5.0s though.

Ain't that some bullshit.

They are probably trying to rid themselves of the left over stock of Track Keys from the Boss cars.

**garner** · 11-14-2013, 06:06 PM

Ugh why can't they make one for auto cars

**McNastyGT** · 11-14-2013, 07:15 PM

Will someone school me on what a track key is? I can't get the link to pull up for whatever reason on my phone.

It's basically just a race tune that is activated by using a different key. They Boss 302's came with it from the factory I believe.

Whenever the Track Key is used to start the vehicle, many engine control characteristics are changed to be more suitable for track use. These include:

Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (TiVCT)
Engine braking
Ignition timing
Wide-Open Throttle fueling
Accelerator pedal map
Idle speed
Throttle response

In addition, the following Ford Racing unique features are added to the vehicle abilities when the Track Key is used:

Driver adjustable Launch Control, or "2-step engine speed limiting"
Driver adjustable Pit Lane Speed Control
Lopey idle (idle is as lopey as possible while still being 50 state emissions legal)

**Dan12GT** · 11-15-2013, 10:06 AM

lame... Why does it just have to be the 14s too..

**bird_dog0347** · 11-15-2013, 10:52 AM

I need to check my build date, I just might qualify! It will depend on how much it costs though, I didn't see a price.

I read on another forum it will work on late model 2013 and all 2014 GTs with manual transmissions. Scroll down to #38

Please God let this be true and let my car qualify. That would be awesome! Do we know a built after date? And how do we figure out our build date lol

**BERT** · 11-15-2013, 12:55 PM

Seems pretty cool. I'd like to know how "lopey" the idle actually is though. If you can tell a difference that might be the only reason I buy one lol
