Every Mustang made in the past few years can make 100% use of the available traction every time. On my manual Mustang, the launch control will control the throttle, clutch, and engine power.

So even though the car has a clutch pedal, the clutch is actually drive by wire and controlled by a solenoid/actuator somewhere?

Or is it that the engine and brake management is computer controlled, but the clutch is hydraulic and fully controlled by your left foot?
