Any advantages of doing this. I would think after using TC off to get off the line do you think you would gain anything by shutting it off say at 75mph or so. Just wondering?

I would have to say no. The only point of turning the TC off is to get a better launch off the line, that's when the TC tends to kick in & screw with your powertrain. I can't imagine it's doing much at 75mph?

Your going to find during autoX ... the tc automatically turns itself off :D Well as far as triggering the dash indicator. :rolleyes:

As much as I hate not being able to fully turn it off, I'm not willing to disable the ABS on the track.

First time i went to the track, I pulled the ABS fuse, It felt like only the front right and the left rear tires were engaged, best 60' was 1.85. Next time i went to the track, I had my nitrous set-up, only turned t/c off and best 60' was 1.704, I still felt the wheels spinning a little at the line but i didn't feel like it was only the front left and rear right. I would say just turning T/C off is good enough.
