Default Driving with Traction Control off, Woo Hoo

What a hoot driving this new GT with traction control off. Something I won't be doing with a beer buzz, but it sure is fun. I swear the engine is more responsive with TC off too. It's just a lot of enjoyable driving, just gotta be aware of conditions.

You shouldn't be doing anything with your Mustang with a "beer buzz" except giving the keys to someone sober.

Let me make a clarification. I didn't say I drove with a beer buzz, I said I WON'T be doing it with a beer buzz.

Just saying it's a lot of fun driving with the TC off, but you must pay attention to what you're doing and with those around you.

I've not been brave enough to do this with my 350.

barstowpo, I would be very, VERY cautious with a GT350. My GT with just 425 hp is thrilling with TC off, but with a flat cranked, higher hp GT350.................well, just slowly get used to it. Have fun.

My GTO is also fun with the TC off but it only has 326 HP to the wheels. My 428CJ Mach 1 was always a point and squirt car.

Agreed.

Unless it's snowing out I like mine off.
