Another thing about these cars, drive it like a grandma for a while and it will respond like grandma wants it to....slow and sluggish. Drive it like you stole it and it responds the same.

Am i the only one who feels this?
Thats what i thought too but having the AdvanceTrac completely off does make the turn to straight speedier.
I did notice that, its the adaptive learning on these trans, i believe an tune will disable it.

The advance track effects the steering.....making the car handle better with quicker response but does not effect the engine performance.

Advancetrac off turns off all the safety control(Brake and tc button for 5 sec)
Advancetrac sport mode( stiffer steering & more forgiving tc)

But it only interferes if you break traction and adds no engine performance gains.

Theres restraint even if it didnt kick in, thats why you see difference in 0-60 time with it on/completely off.

Your time differences are more likely due to the difference in wheel spin..never read anywhere that it effects engine parameters/horsepower.

what ever it is having advancetrac and tc on 0-60 is slower, I dont think people will disagree on that. btw this thread is heading to the wrong direction lol
