Hight speed and traction control
I turned off TC because the car was getting very unstable under straitline accelleration from ~50 in 4th at WOT. Lots of squirm, like two rear flat tires would introduce Seems reproducable. Any comments?

Are you going to Competitive Driving mode?? Or are you just turning it all off?
If the latter, turning AH off, entails risks you may not be considering. There are a bunch of Forum members who have totaled their cars while driving with AH turned off.

Do you notice how much more stable your bikes are at speed compared to the car - one track vs. two for the car :D

BTW, I have found the 06 speedo to be accurate +/- 1MPH out to 140 where the bikes are as much as 20 MPH off up there, so dont think that speed can be compared fairly unless you know what the correction factors are for your bikes...

What ever your problem is, it's not the AH system.
