Traction Control

I just discovered a traction control button in my LNF. I did a little online research about it and have a better understanding on what it's two modes are now.

Does anyone find themselves using it in any particular situations?

Was your steering wheel hiding it

I dont mess with it unless im at the track. I have my rev limiter set to 3000rpm for my launch control so I dont use the track mode thing.

3k must be so nice to launch at. 4500 is way to high and you lose so much time spinning.

I ran like that too. You have to just learn to drive without WOT all the time. WOT doesn't always mean the most efficient power.

Not if you're on slicks, RWD, or AWD...
