Torque management???

[BigDandthegirls]

So my last dd was a chevy colorado 3.7. It was a slouch below 2500-3000ish rpms then it came ALIVE. I would stomp it from a stop, it would barely squeak a tire then about 2 seconds and 3000ish rpms later it would brake the tires loose. I found through tuning that chevy was using torque management on almost everything with a drive by wire throttle that they were producing. I'm assuming to A. save the transmission some wear and tear. B. so 's would not slide off the road or into oncoming traffic. Anyway.. I have a feeling that ford is using torque management on these cars. My car feels just like every vehicle I have driven with TM on it. Same feel when the computer lets it loose in 1rst and 2nd gear. So what do you guys and gals think? I bet when tuning becomes avaliable soon, that we will be much more impressed with our cars in the low rpm range. I know it was night and day on the colorado's and silverados when you got rid of TM or reduced it. Please feel free to discuss or call me a stupid/a retard.

I know what you mean.

If I stomp from a standstill there is nothing. Almost a bit of a delay before the fun starts.

But if I stomp from even a slow rolling start I can break traction and get some decent spin.

I'm hoping we get some sort of VAGCOM like device to use because theres a lot of stuff I'd like to mess around with.

I agree - these cars are much quicker from a rolling start than from a standstill. Does that usually equate to TM? If so, I'm looking forward to tuning now more than ever.

Even rolling on the throttle seems to work better than flooring it.

If you put the car in N while driving. Can anyone rev past 4k? Curious how the engine sounded one time and so I put it in N and rev'd and it wouldn't go past 4k. Wow!

Limiters prevent that, you can chip it and remove that limit. But I'm not sure thereis such a product for the Mark 3 yet

Turning off traction control is usually a good start. When this car can easily spin the tires through gears one and two I don't see the issue.

thats a good point. I do seem to notice it pulls way stronger and more consistent when turning off trac control but man what a pain they make it to do that everytime.

I agree in a way. I always have my screen on trip a MPG so i know the button sequence is left, down, down, down, OK, OK, OK. But it should have a dedicated button elsewhere.

Definetly weak bottom end.

That's hard to do when you don't have a button.
