ASR on or off???
Is it better to drive with the asr on or off?? I have a 1994 w/auto. What does this actually do?

Re: ASR on or off??? (wz2wj1)
ASR basically keeps you from peeling out. That is my understanding. I know from a friend that first it shoves the gas pedal back at you as it starts peeling out...then it retards the timing if you force the pedal back down, then it actually starts putting on the brakes!! This friend had a comp yellow LT4, and ran a 16.2 at the track - he seriously cried! Plus the car smelled awful (brake pads smoldering). He turned the ASR off and ran a 13.2. :eek: Hope someone can correct me or fill in the gaps, but this is my understanding!

On during bad weather, off everytime else.
ASR=Acceleration Slip Regulation or traction control for short.
Basically it hits the brakes or cuts fuel depending on the situation.
ASR off at the track always.

For all the trouble of turning off each time you get in the car, it isn't worth the work. I leave mine on most of the time. Besides, unless you are playing, it can get you out of some hairy situations (like overpowering it into a turn, etc). :yesnod:

Re: ASR on or off??? (Mr Mojo)
I leave mine on most of the time. It has no effect unless you are spinning tires. At the track, I have been running with it off. I went to vintage thunder and I ran a 13.3 - 13.4 with it off. My wife runs with it on. Her times were 13.5 - 13.6. In my opinion it helps more then it hurts under normal driving conditions. I have heard people complain about pulling out in traffic and it engaged and caused them to slow down. It seems to me that if it had been off, the potential would have been much greater to have lost traction and entered traffic sideways!!

Damn! Thats my car!! :eek: Back on the subject, I leave mine on most of the time even when playing sometimes. For Example: Corner Carving! I tried it once with it off, the pucker factor way up higher that normal so I decided to turn it back on.
Sometimes it's like the car's sliding and it's just letting you know. (small slips what I'm talking about)

If you're driving around on dry pavement with that thing on, you're neutering your Vette.
It's way too easy to invoke, it starts retarding the timing under moderate acceleration, long before you're in hot water. These are typically momentary events that are barely long enough to turn on the indicator.
I started shutting mine off and felt an immediate difference. :yesnod:
Forgetting to do so has made a complete azz of me on several occasions, though. :mad

ASR:
So, ya havta turn it off everytime you're in the car?
I turned mine off once and thougt it was off, but spin one tire and it aint.
Theres no bad weather here the thing is useless.
I'd rather do the driving myself. Now an anit-tail-gater switch would be better.
I thougt about disconnecting the thang but its hooked up to the Bose.
It figgures the 2 things in a LT-1 that are useless are hooked together.
Turn it off everytime good clue, maybe I should be ina Mustang they don't need ASR. Well they might in the rain, you can burn a Honda in the rain.
