Press once turns off Traction Control, hold for 5 secs (or until the icon on dash flashes) turns off Traction Control and Advance Trac but only BELOW 33 MPH (54km/h). Once you go above 33 mph (or a wheel spins above 33 mph) Advance Trac come on again. The only way to have true control of the truck is with some custom underhood wiring/over ride. Or I guess you could just stay off the throttle, but why would we buy 350 HP+ monsters if we wanted to stay off the throttle, right??? Hahaha.
The EcoBoost is nice, but lets be realistic here, the G car is much faster than our trucks. Your "win" had more to do with the little boy driving the G than the EB's performance. Will your EB run 5.4 sec 0-60's and 13.8 1/4 mile posts?
For the other driver, here's how to properly drive a G35...
1 - Sign up for Big Brothers and get a male role model that can teach you to drive stick
2 - Sell your auto-trans "performance coupe"
3 - Buy a real performance coupe
NOW he's ready to "race" you in your F150, haha...

I've always dreamed about modding my truck to make it sip gas. Not that it really bugs me when it's parked and off. Then, I got a free straw from a fast food place, and the tape was only a few cents: how cheap could it turn out to be!! But my excitement soon vanished in smoke when I found out that the darn straw didn't withstand the hot engine. I knew I should have bought a good one instead - Damn you for fooling me McDonald's (oops, didn't want to start a law suit). Now all my money had gone wasted on the tape - did you ever noticed how hard it is to stick a simple straw to the engine? And you Ford? So many cupholder inside the cab and not a single strawholder under the hood??!!
If I had known about the meltdown I could have driven with the hood up to balance the temps, I thought, after all I could use the camera, but then realized the camera is on the back. Damn you fast food place again!
Now I'm condemned to search all over the internet, till the end of my days, for a reliable straw! <sigh> and a straw holder too as I used all the tape <sigh><sigh>
Luckily there are a few cool mods that you fellow truckers posted here that will keep me from going insane . Thanks for that!
