No change in HP, just turns off the TC. THe car is much more fun that way. :smash:

Agreed, no difference in engine power but it allows you to deploy it better !

All it does is prevent the car from getting sideways on you. Doesn't help w/ straight ahead traction,as the TC is off in comp driving mode! :cheers:
