Nick nailed it, every vehicle knows the outside temperature for emission control adjustments.
That an Ice Mode is not temperature enabled is ludicrous

The point is "ice mode" is just a colloquialism; the issue Clyde is complaining about mimics behavior on ice, but isn't intended to be triggered in the cold. It's triggered because the car thinks people driving it hard are about to have an accident. Tying it to temp wouldn't help.

It just feels like you're on ice to the driver, because the car won't stop. |

Clyde has a much more nuanced understanding and description of alternative functions that are collectively described as “ice mode.” IMO, they shouldn’t exist, but...

Yeah, no sense making an autox mode when 4 corners of the car are working differently. 99.9 percent of vehicles made ever see any track time.

@clyde: I have been driving the Gen6 every other day. The engine is awesome. I wish I had gotten the ZL1 but honestly that’s just me being stupid.
The LT1 is amazing. It feels damn close to my LS7. So much fun.

I would still love to know how a comparable Mustang works for daily driving or auto crossing, of course, but the OHV V8 makes up for a lot of deficits. I would worry that it’s redline is too low for auto crossing? Requiring many shifts for you during a run. Maybe I’m showing my complete ignorance of the sport then.
