Yes, there are 4 modes for the ELSD. More details are in the performance supplement to the owner's manual. PTM seems good for the track, but on the street I like the competitive driving (MDM esque) setting you get in sport mode + traction off twice. The throttle feels more linear to me. Alternatively track mode + pressing traction off once gave me the same throttle feel. There are so many setting permutations lol.

Compared to E92M it is not as quiet or luxurious but it is more savage and visceral. E92 was too comfortable for me- I felt like I could fall asleep lol. That was the most comfortable track-oriented car I've driven. Definitely targeted at an older crowd but still very impressive.

I had that exact though about the torque and you do have a point - the Mustang, now fully broken in, is something to behold in the power department. It's...... really effing fast. BUT! While the first few moments back in the 46 do have me scratching my head it quickly goes away and I'm reminded how much I love a precision, HSO motor. The long flat torque curve is actually far more full filling than the peaky, point and shoot 5.0. Back on topic - you're right and have been all along. The 46M has more oomph, and thus excitement, in normal situations than the E9XM. It feels faster in the low-mid, to me, and, frankly, the rest of the car is not enough better to justify the money based on my experience thus far. Yes it's more rigid and more comfy but it's not as "fun". I may be pulling the trigger on a local IR/Black 46M.... |
