lol everybody has the cool people want to race them. People that race me are just angry. After i beat them by a couple of car lengths (in the case of the celica) or a couple of stop lights (corolla rofl) they always just blow by me after i slow down. Whats with that? You lost, i slowed down... whats the point of flying past me? No one ever gives me the thumbs up or "hey nice ride/race" just angry people. Same thing happend when i raced a beat up (but new) chevy silverado. Blew it away, then slowed down, and it flew by me, flicking me off.

nice kill, yeah i get alot angry people racing me too. mostly ricer i win slow down and they blow by, like they won after i hit the brakes or something.

Ricers do that to me all the time...they race up and blow by after I have slowed down and tapped the brakes a couple of times....whatever makes their kickstands feel bigger.

Does having your TCS on kill your performance when racing? I've always had mine on during the seldom times of racing.

i woudlnt say "kill" but it does effect your performance. I'v raced witih it on and still havent lost yet. It just puts a delay on your throttle and i think it makes you shift early (in an auto).

if you dont spin your tires i dont think it will affect anything, but if they do then it cuts the power and you have to wait what seems like forever for everything to kick back in.

I drove a demo with the TCS for a weekend. It rained that weekend and I purposely put the TCS to the test. It is a bummer that it uses the anti-lock breaks to compensate for the wheel spin. I bought mine with no ABS or TCS.

Mine is stick, so the effect is probably less than on an auto. The only thing I think it affected was my choice just to punch it from a dead stop, rather than drop it from, maybe, 2k rpms. It doesn't give excessive wheel spin that would affect your launch too much, but lets a nice little chirp go, nonetheless. Still, I think a chirp on the 1-2 shift is cooler...and 2-3 even cooler than that!
