T/C is only bad if it activates.. I guess if you are good enough to shoot down the track at maximum power and not spin the tires I am sure you'd pull the same times as doing the same thing with T/C off

What happens most times with Unaltered T/C is Torque Management kicks in too when the T/C is activated. I have my TM removed completely...
