Reasons to turn traction control off: Doughnuts, Burnouts, and all out Hoonage in general (thats what they make empty parking lots for)... I say let her eat o.p.

I will try the center button again, but did not seem to work for me when I tried before.
I appreciate everyone's thought but I am an experienced driver. I have another 408 blower car w/nitrous making 700whp so power isn't my problem. I just get frustrated when the traction control is on sometimes, and want to control it for my blower setup so I don't burn up my brakes..lol.

And yes, it is mostly for my track days...not worried about it for daily driving.
