The 2024 Ford Mustang has a drift brake. It. Is. AWESOME!
I’m hardly a driving novice, but I’m also not one for tail-out histrionics, so my experience in this realm is limited. Specifically, I had never used a hand brake to induce a slide before. Despite this, I nailed using the drift brake on the first go, and by only the third try, had mastered it enough to dab in some opposite lock and keep on gunning it in the other direction.
How the drift brake differs from a traditional parking brake, electronic or otherwise, is that it immediately provides a far greater amount of stopping power to lock up the wheels and quickly bring the rear end around. It’s also a far more robust unit than a typical parking brake. Plus, there are some electronic helpers working in the background to keep you in a controlled drift once sideways.
The drift brake is still a parking brake, which is where things get weird. The handle to operate the thing may look like a traditional parking brake, but for the purposes of parking, it’s really just a gigantic version of that weeny little button. Pull up to engage the parking brake – there isn’t the usual button on the end that needs to be pressed – and let it back down. That’s right, it does not remain up, not unlike the old British hand brakes located down at the door sill.
This operation is easy enough to get a hang of, but I have to think it’ll take a long time before those with a manual-equipped GT will get used to exiting their car with the parking brake handle down against the console. That’s muscle memory not easily overcome. I’m not sure how often I would actually use the drift brake if I bought a 2024 Mustang, but I know it would be more than launch control or line lock, the function that engages the front brakes so you can roast the rear tires. All are goofy, but the drift brake is more than just something to show off with – you could actually use it to hone your skills – ideally not on an active public road – and gradually teach yourself to do some pretty cool things.
