When do you turn off TCS?
#11
When do you turn Traction Control off? If you do, why? What horsepower do you have? Just seeing everyone's preferences
For me, its off when I drive and the road is dry. If it rained or is raining or snow is on the ground I keep it on. I like it better and can control my car since 415-420 rwhp is not too bad to handle.

I'll give you a hint, BOOM!
Keep TCS off

Always OFF.
TCS seems to be a much slower launch if I am launching hard, but only with my NT-01's and not with street tires. Seems like letting the NT-01's spin a little and get clean to grip up works better.

I try to remember to turn it off every time i turn the car on, when you really want to get a bit crazy you have to turn advancetrac off which takes 5 seconds while at a stop with the foot on the brake. Sometimes at a redlight ill do this if i feel like it, it sucks you cant do it while rolling. So basically i try to have tcs always off, advancetrac off when i feel its necessary or have the time.

Almost always off, regardless of conditions. The only times it's on is when I forget to turn it off, which is almost never. FWIW, with the FRPP tune TC doesn't seem to be very effective anyway.
In bad weather, the least risky way of finding out how little grip exists is by finding out how tough it is to get the car rolling from a dead stop. That should be your wake-up-right-now reminder to recalibrate how you need to be driving, not just an inconvenience in getting from point A to point B.
I learned to drive with nothing getting itself in between my steering and pedal inputs and what the car's mechanicals were doing or trying to do. And that's exactly the way I want to keep it. I don't ever want to have somebody else's computer program take over how my car is going to be driven, because that will take away some of my trust that the car can or will do what I tell it to do. Not to mention the pedal modulation skills that have developed over time would tend to fade away.
4.6L w/a mild tune, 5MT, 3.55's, very little hard launching but lots of hard corner-exiting
