What Does This Button Do?

Calling the 662-horsepower 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 a muscle car is an understatement. It’s like lumping a semi-truck-pulling, keg-hurling competitor from The World’s Strongest Man competition in the same league as your Facebook friend who abuses your wall by constantly checking in at the gym.

Numerous features harness the GT500’s immense power. One is activated by an “LC” button located to the left of the steering wheel. After using this feature, we think LC should stand for “Last Chance,” like it’s your passenger’s last chance to tighten the seat belt, put a death grip on the door handle and prepare for a wild ride.
