RE: traction control
I tend to switch it off every time I start her up. With the Blower installed, it tends to engage the TCS a lot pulling away, on dusty roads, grit or whatever, and I just hate the Neanderthal way it kills the motor. If it had more finesse to it i would probably leave it engaged mostly.

RE: traction control
I leave it on most of the time unless I'm trying to have fun.

RE: traction control
i turn it off every time i start the car. It sucks power from the motor and engages the brakes. thats MY job. lol. Plus I just dont see how it can be good on either one.

RE: traction control
I dont think some of you know how it works.....it only engages itself when it detects excessive wheel spin or an inbalance where one wheel is spinning more than another......during normal driving, it does nothing......it only"sucks power and applies the brakes" in those condtions, and it has no impact on gas either
