Default Traction control bites....

I have not yet become familiar enough to disable TC when I am out cruising. Today a ricer Civic tried to pull on me, so I popped the clutch in 2nd, with one hand on the cell phone and one on the wheel ( I know, I know) and it chirped the tires and just bogged. Geesh, I have got to get smarter about this. hahaha

Perhaps Competition Mode is the compromise. Keeps AHS on in case you get way out of control, but allow some tire spin for rice encounters?

My philosophy is to keep TC on when Wet Cruising, Comp Mode for Dry.
These tires on dry, hot FL pavement preclude the need for TC.
