Leave the nannies on!!!!!!
1 press - TC off, full AH on
2 presses in 5 sec - Competitive Mode, TC off, AH on, but with greater tolerances for sliding sideways (what you want on a road course)
1 press for longer than 5 sec - TC and AH off.
So with Traction control off, allows the tires to over spin, you get wheel hop and your going to blow up the diff. Worst yet, rear tires spinning uncontrollable, the rear end is going to snap hook and wreck you.
Tire uncontrolled spinning snap hook crashing, and will happen so fast, you will not have time to react.
As for comp mode, allows the rear end to step out more before active handling intervenes to try to straight the car out. In a novices hands ,still leads to a crash.
all nannies off with a long 5 second push, the car is going to try to kill you every chance it gets. If you can not oose skate a car around a road coarse/auto cross track, don't even think about turning all the nannies off. much less trying to run the car in comp mode.
The way to put this is easy terms, a Miata is car balanced between it handling and power, so easy to sling it around a track since you can't really over powder the handling.
The vet, has about 200 more horsepower than handling in regards to balance, and you don't learn to respect extra power to use it correctly, the car just tries to kill you every chance it gets instead (somethings, even with all the nannies on).
